There are only a few companies that sell Aloe Vera on its own and it’s expensive to buy. Most companies that sell Aloe Vera oils are selling Aloe Vera mixed with another carrier oil. This is fine to buy and use, as pure Aloe Vera liquid is water-based and has to be mixed with an oil to get it to blend with essential oils.
