Choosing your Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel

Shop Naturally stocks Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel in two sizes, so choosing between them mostly comes down to how and where you expect to use it. The gel itself is a lightweight, cooling alternative to richer creams and lotions, with a clear texture that spreads easily over the skin and absorbs without leaving the heavier feel of a balm.

Choose your size

The smaller size is convenient if you're trying Aloe Pura for the first time, use aloe vera gel occasionally or want something easier to take travelling. The larger size makes more sense if aloe gel is a regular part of your skincare routine, several people in the household use it, or you frequently apply it over larger areas of the body.

Think about where you'll use it

Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel can be used on both the face and body, so one tube can have several roles in your bathroom cabinet. Its light gel texture is useful when you want hydration without a rich or oily finish, and its cooling feel makes it particularly pleasant during warmer weather or after you've been outdoors.

For after-sun skincare

Aloe vera gel is commonly chosen as part of an after-sun skincare routine because of its cool, lightweight feel on the skin. Apply it after you are out of the sun rather than using it as a substitute for sunscreen. Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel does not provide SPF protection.

For everyday face and body use

You don't need to save aloe vera gel for summer. It can also be used whenever you prefer a lightweight moisturising product on the face or body. Apply a small amount first and add more as needed. If your skin tends to prefer richer moisturisers, you may find an aloe gel works better for particular occasions or areas rather than replacing your usual cream or balm completely.

Whichever size you choose, follow the directions on the Aloe Pura packaging and store the tube as directed between uses.

Is aloe vera gel the right moisturiser for you?

Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel is a good choice when you want something light, cooling and quick to apply, but a gel isn't necessarily the best moisturiser for every situation. Lotions, creams, body butters and ointments contain different combinations of water, oils, butters and waxes, giving them very different textures and making some better suited to persistent dryness or particular areas of the body.

Product	Texture	Best suited to
Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel	Very light, cooling gel	Lightweight face and body hydration, warm weather, after-sun skincare and anyone who dislikes a rich or oily finish.
Vegesorb	Light, non-greasy lotion	Regular all-over body moisturising, particularly when you want more emollient moisture than an aloe gel while retaining an easy-to-spread texture.
Weleda Skin Food Body Butter	Rich, creamy body butter	Dry or very dry body skin when you want more oils and butters and a richer moisturising feel than either a gel or lotion.
Weleda Skin Food Original	Rich, concentrated cream	Dry hands, elbows, knees, heels and other rough or dry areas where a more protective, concentrated moisturiser is useful.
Natural Evolution Banana Ointment	Thick, waxy ointment	Small, targeted areas when you specifically want the heavier coating and protective feel of an ointment rather than an everyday all-over moisturiser.

Choose Aloe Pura when you want light and cooling

Aloe Pura is the standout choice here when texture and cooling feel are priorities. It spreads easily, doesn't have the richness of an oil-and-butter-based moisturiser and is particularly pleasant in hot weather or after time outdoors. It can also suit people who simply dislike the feeling of heavier body products.

Choose a lotion for everyday body moisturising

If your main goal is keeping the skin on your arms, legs and body moisturised every day, a lotion such as Vegesorb may be a better fit. Its almond and apricot kernel oils give it a more emollient formula while the lotion texture remains easy to spread over larger areas. It is also fragrance and colour free.

Move to a cream, butter or ointment when you need something richer

For skin that feels persistently dry or rough, a richer product may be more comfortable than relying on aloe gel alone. Weleda Skin Food Body Butter is designed for all-over body moisturising with shea and cocoa butters, while the concentrated original Skin Food is particularly useful on smaller dry areas such as hands, elbows and heels. An ointment such as Natural Evolution Banana Ointment sits at the richest end of the texture spectrum and is better suited to targeted application than covering the whole body.

You don't necessarily need to choose only one format. Aloe vera gel can be useful when you want cooling, lightweight moisture, while a lotion or richer cream can take over when your skin needs more emollient or protective moisturising.

Frequently asked questions about Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel

What is Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel used for?

Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel is a lightweight topical gel for the face and body. Its cooling, non-greasy texture makes it useful for everyday lightweight hydration as well as after-sun skincare and times when warm or dry-feeling skin could use something refreshing.

Can I use Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel on my face?

Yes. Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel is suitable for use on both the face and body. Apply a small amount to clean skin and allow it to absorb. If your face needs richer moisturising, you can use the aloe gel as part of your routine rather than expecting it to replace a cream or facial moisturiser.

Can Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel be used as a moisturiser?

Yes, particularly if you prefer very lightweight hydration and a gel texture. Aloe vera gel feels quite different from a lotion, cream or balm, however. If your skin is very dry or you want a richer, more emollient product, you may prefer to follow it with a moisturiser or choose a lotion or cream instead.

Can I use Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel after being in the sun?

Yes. Its light, cooling texture makes Aloe Pura a popular choice for after-sun skincare. Apply it once you are out of the sun and use it as directed on the packaging. Aloe vera gel does not prevent sunburn and should not be used instead of appropriate sun protection.

Does Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel contain sunscreen?

No. Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel is a skincare product, not a sunscreen, and does not provide SPF protection. Apply an appropriate sunscreen when your skin will be exposed to the sun and use the aloe gel separately when you want its cooling and moisturising feel.

Is Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel 100% aloe vera?

No. Aloe Pura describes the product as containing 99.9% pure aloe vera inner leaf gel, but the finished formula also contains other ingredients needed to make and preserve the cosmetic gel. If you're choosing a product based on particular ingredients, refer to the complete ingredient list rather than interpreting the 99.9% statement as meaning the finished product contains nothing but aloe vera.

Getting the best from Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel is at its best when you use it for what its texture does particularly well: providing light, cooling moisture without the heavier feel of a lotion, cream or balm. Apply a small amount and spread it in a thin layer over the skin. You can always add a little more, but applying a very thick layer isn't necessary for everyday use.

Try it chilled for an extra cooling feel

If you enjoy the cooling sensation of aloe vera gel, you can keep the tube somewhere cool before applying it. During warmer weather, chilled aloe gel can feel particularly refreshing on the face and body. Always follow any specific storage directions on the packaging and don't freeze the product.

Apply after sun exposure, not instead of sun protection

If you're using Aloe Pura as part of your after-sun routine, apply it once you're out of the sun. Its light gel texture can feel pleasantly cooling, but it doesn't contain SPF and won't protect your skin from further UV exposure. Sunscreen, protective clothing and shade remain important when you're outdoors.

Layer it when aloe gel isn't moisturising enough

Aloe gel and a rich moisturiser don't have to be an either-or choice. If you enjoy the lightweight feel of Aloe Pura but find your skin still feels dry, allow the gel to settle and then apply your usual lotion or cream over it. This gives you the cooling, lightweight gel first while the richer product provides the more emollient finish dry skin often prefers.

Use the texture to your advantage

Because Aloe Pura is light and non-greasy, it can be particularly handy when you don't want a heavy product on your skin — during hot weather, before getting dressed or on areas where a rich balm feels uncomfortable. For very dry hands, heels, elbows or other rough areas, however, a cream, butter or ointment may be a better choice.

Give it time to absorb before adding other products

When using Aloe Pura on your face as part of a skincare routine, apply a thin layer and allow it to settle before following with moisturiser, sunscreen or makeup. Using too much gel or immediately layering several products over it can make the routine feel sticky or encourage products to pill, so start with less and add more only if you need it.
