Aloe vera gel is a popular natural remedy for skin issues, but how long does it last? The answer depends on the type of aloe vera gel you have and how you store it. Generally speaking, aloe vera gel can last up to two years if stored properly. However, once opened, it should be used within a week or two. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the different types of aloe vera gel and how to store them so that they last as long as possible.

Types of Aloe Vera Gel

There are two main types of aloe vera gel: fresh (raw) and prepared. Fresh (raw) aloe vera gel is made from the leaves of the plant and has no preservatives added. It will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator with no preservatives added. Frozen raw gel will keep for around a year in the freezer. Prepared aloe vera gel is made with added ingredients such as vitamin C or E and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Shelf Life of Aloe Vera Gel

The shelf life of aloe vera gel depends on how it is stored and what type it is. Fresh (raw) aloe vera gel will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator with no preservatives added, while frozen raw gel will keep for around a year in the freezer. Prepared aloe vera gel without added vitamin C or E can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. However, adding vitamin C or E can extend its shelf life significantly – up to two years when stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight and humidity.

How To Store Aloe Vera Gel Properly

It’s important to store your aloe vera gel properly if you want it to last as long as possible. For fresh (raw) aloe vera gel, make sure you keep it refrigerated at all times and use it within a week after opening it. For prepared aloe vera gels with added vitamins C or E, make sure you store them in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and humidity – preferably at room temperature – so that they last up to two years before expiring.

Benefits Of Using Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera has many benefits when used topically on skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, sunburns, insect bites and stings, rashes etc., due to its anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce redness and swelling while also providing moisture and hydration to dry skin areas. It also helps heal wounds faster by forming a protective layer over them that prevents infection while promoting healing from within by stimulating cell growth and regeneration. Additionally, some studies have found that using topical aloe vera may even help reduce wrinkles!

Potential Side Effects Of Using Aloe Vera Gel

Although there are many benefits associated with using topical aloe vera on your skin, there are some potential side effects that should be taken into consideration before using any product containing this ingredient: irritation; allergic reactions; contact dermatitis; increased sensitivity to UV radiation; burning sensation; itching; redness; dryness etc., so always do a patch test first before applying any product containing this ingredient directly onto your skin!
