🌿 How to Make Aloe Vera Oil (DIY Full Guide)
🧾 Ingredients:
2–3 fresh aloe vera leaves
1 cup carrier oil (choose one):
Coconut oil 🥥 (best for skin)
Olive oil 🫒 (mild & moisturizing)
Almond oil (light & fast-absorbing)
🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Aloe Vera
Wash the aloe leaves well.
Cut off the sharp edges.
Slice the leaf open lengthwise.
Scoop out the clear gel inside.
👉 Important: Avoid the yellow latex (it can irritate skin).
🔥 Step 2: Infuse the Oil (Two Methods)
🌿 Method 1: Slow Heat Method (Quick)
Put aloe gel + oil in a pan.
Heat on very low flame for 30–45 minutes.
Stir occasionally.
The gel will slowly shrink and blend into the oil.
⚠️ Don’t overheat or fry it—keep it gentle.
🌿 Method 2: Sun Infusion (Stronger & Natural)
Put aloe gel + oil in a clean glass jar.
Seal tightly.
Leave it in sunlight for 5–7 days.
Shake the jar once daily.
🧪 Step 3: Strain the Oil
Use a fine cloth or strainer.
Remove all aloe bits.
Collect only the infused oil.
🫙 Step 4: Store It
Keep in a clean glass bottle
Store in a cool, dark place
