Feeling the heat? This multi-purpose gel is a Mauritian household essential, packed with 99% pure Aloe Vera Leaf Water to deliver an instant wave of cooling hydration. Perfect for calming skin after a day at the beach, soothing minor irritations, or as a lightweight daily moisturiser for oily and combination skin. Its fast-absorbing formula provides relief without leaving a heavy, greasy feeling, making it ideal for our tropical climate.

Dealing with redness from the sun or that tight, irritated feeling in the heat can be frustrating. This gel offers a simple, effective solution.

• Who It's For: All skin types, especially oily, combination, acne-prone, and sensitive skin needing lightweight hydration and soothing. Excellent for both face and body.
• What It Does: Instantly cools and calms irritated or sun-exposed skin, provides oil-free hydration, and helps reduce redness.
• What to Expect: A refreshing, watery gel texture that absorbs quickly. Skin feels immediately cooler, soothed, and hydrated with a non-sticky finish when applied in a thin layer.

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash to remove impurities.
2. Soothe & Hydrate: Apply a nickel-sized amount of the Aloe 99% Chok Chok Soothing Gel to your face and neck.
3. Protect (AM) or Moisturise (PM): In the morning, follow with sunscreen. In the evening, this can be your final step if you have oily skin, or you can layer a richer cream on top if you have dry skin.

Note: Already own a similar moisturiser or hydrating gel? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack unnecessarily).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanse: Wash with a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
2. Soothe & Hydrate: Apply a thin layer of the Aloe 99% Chok Chok Soothing Gel. It acts as a lightweight, calming hydrator.
3. Protect: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). This is the most important step to prevent sun damage.

Optional: For dry skin, you can apply a creamier moisturiser after the aloe gel and before your sunscreen if you need extra nourishment.

Minimalist (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanse: Thoroughly wash your face to remove sunscreen, makeup, and impurities from the day. Consider a double cleanse (oil cleanser then foam cleanser) for a deeper clean.
2. Soothe & Hydrate: Apply the Aloe 99% Chok Chok Soothing Gel to replenish moisture and calm any irritation.
3. Seal (Optional): If your skin is normal to dry, follow with a night cream to lock in the hydration. For very oily skin, the aloe gel may be sufficient on its own.

Texture Rule: Remember to apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

• Amount: Use a nickel-sized amount for the face. For the body, use as needed to cover the affected area.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both AM and PM.
• Method: Scoop a small amount (ideally with a clean spatula) and apply a thin, even layer to the skin. Gently pat until absorbed.
• Pro Tip: Store the tub in the refrigerator for an extra cooling and de-puffing effect, especially soothing after sun exposure.
• Multi-Use Hacks:
  • Light Sleeping Mask: Apply a slightly thicker layer before bed to soothe and hydrate overnight.
  • Body Moisturiser: Perfect for calming sunburn, heat rash, or insect bites on the body.
  • Hair Treatment: Apply a small amount to the ends of your hair to tame frizz and add a touch of hydration.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly cooled, refreshed, and hydrated. The sensation of heat or stinging from sunburn or irritation is noticeably reduced.
• Within 1-2 Weeks: With daily use, you may notice a reduction in general redness and sensitivity. Skin feels consistently more hydrated and balanced, with less tightness.
• Within 4-8+ Weeks: The skin's moisture barrier feels stronger and more resilient. The overall complexion appears calmer and less reactive to environmental stressors like heat and sun.

Myth: "For sunburn, applying neat essential oils or harsh scrubs will help heal the skin faster."

Reality (Why this, not that): Applying undiluted essential oils or using physical scrubs on irritated or sunburnt skin can cause further damage, increase inflammation, and lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots). This aloe gel is a far safer and more effective alternative. Its primary ingredient, Aloe Vera, is scientifically recognised for its ability to soothe inflammation, hydrate damaged skin, and promote healing without causing additional irritation.

• ✅ Works Well With: This gel is a universal team player. It's excellent for layering with almost all active ingredients.
  • After Exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs): Its soothing properties help calm any potential irritation from chemical exfoliants.
  • With Retinoids: Can be applied before or mixed with a retinoid to buffer and reduce dryness.
  • With Vitamin C: Provides a hydrating base layer before your antioxidant serum.
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. The only consideration is layering order—always apply this watery gel before heavier oils or creams.
• 🚫 Avoid On: Do not apply to open wounds or severely broken skin without consulting a doctor.

• 🟢 Excellent For: Oily and Combination skin types who need hydration without the heavy feel of traditional creams. Also fantastic for Acne-Prone skin as it's non-comedogenic and soothing.
• 🟡 Good For: Normal skin as a lightweight moisturiser or hydrating serum step. Dry skin can use it as a hydrating layer before a richer, more occlusive cream.
• 🔴 Use With Caution: While generally suitable for Sensitive skin, it does contain fragrance. A patch test is recommended to ensure no irritation occurs.

• Sunburn & Heat Irritation: Its primary function. The cooling gel immediately reduces the sensation of heat and calms redness associated with sun exposure.
• Dehydration: Provides a powerful dose of water-based hydration to plump up tired, dehydrated skin without adding oil.
• Redness & Sensitivity: Aloe's natural anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe general redness and calm reactive skin.
• Post-Shave Irritation: Can be used on the face or body to soothe skin after shaving and prevent razor burn.

Key Ingredient Explained:

• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water (99%): Instead of plain water, this gel uses a high concentration of aloe water as its base. Aloe is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. Its primary benefits are soothing inflammation, providing lightweight hydration, and supporting the skin's natural healing process.

Full INCI List:

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water (99%), Carbomer, Tromethamine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Water, Fragrance, Centella Asiatica Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Fragrance").
• Scent Profile: A fresh, clean, and green "aloe" scent. It is noticeable upon application but fades quickly. Intensity: 2/5.
• Potential Allergens: The specific components of the fragrance are not disclosed, but common allergens like Linalool, Limonene, or Geraniol could be present. If you have a known fragrance allergy, a patch test is highly recommended.

While this product is designed to be gentle, it's always best practice to ensure it's right for your skin.

Patch Testing Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, like your inner arm or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. If you have extremely sensitive skin, you may wish to repeat this test for 2-3 days.

Who should use with caution? Individuals with known allergies to fragrances should perform a patch test before facial use. Avoid applying to open wounds or broken skin.

• Texture: A clear, lightweight, watery gel that spreads easily.
• Feel on Skin: Instantly cooling and refreshing. It absorbs within a minute, leaving skin feeling hydrated and soft.
• Finish: A natural, slightly dewy finish. It can feel slightly tacky for a moment if too much is applied, but this dissipates as it dries.
• Scent: Fresh and clean aloe scent.
• pH: Approximately 6.5 - 7.0, which is close to the skin's neutral range.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Note: This formula contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals with fungal acne.

• "It feels sticky after I apply it."
  Solution: You might be using too much. Try applying a thinner layer and gently patting it in until fully absorbed. Applying to slightly damp skin can also help it spread more evenly and absorb better.
• "It's not hydrating enough for my dry skin."
  Solution: This gel is primarily a humectant (it draws water to the skin). For dry skin, it works best as a hydrating serum. Apply the aloe gel first, then layer a richer, more occlusive cream or a few drops of facial oil on top to seal in the moisture.

This product is exceptionally well-suited for our warm and humid Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summer: During hot, sticky months, this can serve as a standalone daytime moisturiser for oily and combination skin types, providing necessary hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• After-Sun Care: A must-have after a day at Flic en Flac or Le Morne. Keep it in the fridge and apply to sun-exposed skin for instant cooling relief that helps prevent peeling and reduces redness.
• Indoor AC Use: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, your skin can become dehydrated. Use this gel as a hydrating layer under your regular moisturiser to combat the drying effects of AC.

• Packaging: A 250ml plastic (PET) tub with a screw-on lid.
• Hygiene: To keep the product sanitary, it is highly recommended to use a clean spatula to scoop out the gel rather than using your fingers.
• Sustainability: The PET plastic tub is widely recyclable in Mauritius. Please rinse it out before placing it in your recycling bin.
• Travel: The 250ml tub is too large for carry-on luggage. For travel, consider decanting a small amount into a smaller, travel-sized jar.

Can I use this as my only moisturiser?

If you have oily or combination skin, yes, you might find it sufficient, especially in Mauritius's humid climate. If you have dry skin, it's best used as a hydrating serum layer before a more substantial cream.

Is this gel sticky?

It can feel slightly tacky if you apply too much. The key is to use a thin layer and pat it in until it's fully absorbed. Once dry, it should not feel sticky.

Is it fungal acne safe?

No, this product contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a trigger for Malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne) in some individuals.

Can I use it on my body and hair?

Absolutely! It's excellent for soothing sunburn on the body, calming irritated skin after shaving, or as a lightweight, non-greasy hair essence to tame frizz.

• Best For: Individuals looking for a versatile, cooling, and hydrating gel for face and body, especially those with oily, combination, or sun-exposed skin.
• Key Benefits: Provides immediate cooling and soothing relief, offers lightweight hydration, and is highly versatile for multiple uses.
• Keep in Mind: Contains fragrance, which may be a concern for highly sensitive skin. The tub packaging requires hygienic scooping. It is not considered fungal-acne safe.
