Feeling the heat? This multi-purpose gel offers immediate cooling relief for skin that's feeling irritated, sticky, or sun-exposed.

Formulated with 95% Aloe Vera Leaf Extract from Jeju Island, this lightweight gel absorbs quickly to hydrate and soothe without a greasy feel. It’s a versatile staple for face, body, and even hair. Its refreshing texture makes it ideal for Mauritius's hot, humid climate, especially for those with oily or combination skin. Please note, it contains denatured alcohol, which provides a fast-drying, cooling sensation but may not be suitable for very dry or highly sensitive skin types.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount to the face or a generous layer to the body.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Always finish with SPF 30+ to protect your skin. For PM, this can be your final step if you have oily skin, or you can layer a richer cream on top.

Note: Already own a lightweight moisturizer? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption. This can be its replacement.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a thin layer as your daily moisturizer. Its lightweight texture is often sufficient for oily and combination skin in Mauritian humidity.
3. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. This is a non-negotiable step to protect soothed skin from further sun damage.

Optional: If your skin feels tight, you can layer a hydrating toner before the aloe gel for an extra boost of water-based moisture.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen. Start with an oil cleanser, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a generous layer to soothe and hydrate the skin overnight. It's especially beneficial after a day in the sun.
3. Moisturiser (Optional): If you have normal to dry skin, or if you sleep in air-conditioning, you can layer a richer cream over the aloe gel to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration overnight.

This is a versatile product that can be used in multiple ways across your routine.

• As a Facial Moisturizer: After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck. Gently pat for absorption. Suitable for AM and PM.
• As an After-Sun Soother: Apply a thick, generous layer to sun-exposed or irritated areas on the face and body for immediate cooling relief. For an extra cooling effect, store the tub in the refrigerator.
• As a Body Moisturizer: Apply liberally to arms, legs, and any other body parts after showering for lightweight, non-sticky hydration.
• As a Hair Essence: Rub a small amount between your palms and apply to the ends of your hair to calm frizz and add a touch of moisture.
• As a Post-Shave Gel: Apply to skin after shaving to soothe razor burn and reduce redness.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? This gel can serve as your standalone moisturizer in the morning before sunscreen.
• Feeling dry from A/C? Use this gel as a hydrating serum layer, then apply a richer cream on top to seal in the moisture.
• Sensitive or reactive skin? Always perform a patch test first due to the alcohol and fragrance content. Apply a small amount behind your ear or on your jawline and wait 24-48 hours.

Safety: Avoid applying to broken or eczematous skin. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or burning sensation occurs. For teens, this is a great starter moisturizer for oily skin, but always pair with daily sunscreen.

• Immediately: Expect a cooling, refreshing sensation upon application. Skin will feel hydrated and soothed, and minor redness from heat or sun exposure may be visibly reduced.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin may appear more balanced, especially if you have oily or combination skin. Dehydration-related tightness should diminish, and skin will feel softer and more supple.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The overall health of your skin's moisture barrier may improve, making it less prone to irritation from environmental stressors. You'll notice sustained hydration and a calmer complexion.

• Why use this, not raw aloe from the garden? While fresh aloe is wonderful, the raw plant contains a yellow substance called aloin (latex) which can be a skin irritant for some people. This gel is formulated with purified aloe extract to provide the soothing benefits without the risk of irritation, and is stabilized for a longer shelf life.
• Why use this, not a heavy, greasy after-sun butter? In Mauritius's humidity, thick butters can feel suffocating and potentially clog pores. This lightweight gel delivers intense soothing and hydration without the heavy, sticky residue, making it far more comfortable for tropical climates.

• Works Well With: As a basic hydrator, this gel layers well with most ingredients. It's excellent when paired with hydrating toners (containing Hyaluronic Acid), gentle cleansers, and daily sunscreen. It can also be used to provide a soothing buffer before or after other gentle serums.
• Use With Caution: If you have a compromised skin barrier or are using strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHAs, BHAs, or retinoids), the alcohol content in this gel might cause some stinging or irritation. In such cases, it's best to use a barrier-repairing cream instead or ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to open wounds, broken skin, or active eczema flare-ups.

• Excellent For: Oily, Combination, and Normal skin types looking for a lightweight, non-greasy hydrator.
• Good For: Acne-prone skin, as it provides oil-free moisture and can soothe inflammation from breakouts.
• Use With Caution: Dry and Dehydrated skin types may find the alcohol content drying over time. It can be used as a hydrating layer, but should be sealed with a richer, more occlusive cream. Very sensitive skin types should patch test due to the presence of alcohol and fragrance.

• Sunburn and Skin Irritation: Provides immediate cooling and soothing relief to red, irritated skin.
• Dehydration: Infuses the skin with water-based moisture, plumping up fine lines caused by dehydration.
• Excess Sebum: Offers lightweight hydration that helps balance oily skin without adding extra grease or clogging pores.
• Body Dryness: A great non-sticky body lotion for daily use in a humid climate.

• Official Korean Name: 제주 알로에 수딩젤 (Jeju Aloe Soothing Gel)
• Version: The formulation has been a long-standing staple, with minor updates to packaging and ingredient sourcing over the years. This is the classic 95-99% aloe formulation.

• Glycerin: A reliable humectant that draws moisture from the air into your skin, keeping it hydrated and soft.
• Alcohol Denat.: Included to give the gel a quick-drying, refreshing, and cooling feel. It helps the product feel light and non-greasy but can be drying for some skin types.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: A beloved K-beauty ingredient known for its potent soothing and skin-repairing properties.
• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage and has soothing properties.
• Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: Helps to soothe the skin and can assist in brightening the appearance of dark spots over time.

Full INCI List: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Betaine, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Polyglutamic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Menthyl Ethylamido Oxalate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Water, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance.
• Scent Profile: The scent is typically described as fresh, clean, and mildly green, characteristic of commercial aloe products. Intensity: 2/5 (Light).
• EU Allergens: None officially declared by the brand from the standard list of 26 declarable allergens. However, the term "Fragrance" can contain various components. A patch test is always recommended for reactive skin.

Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with very dry, eczema-prone, or rosacea-prone skin should be cautious due to the denatured alcohol and fragrance content. Those with a known sensitivity to alcohol in skincare should avoid this product.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the gel to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, burning, or rash, wash the area thoroughly and do not use the product.
3. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, check the area again at 48 and 72 hours to ensure there is no delayed reaction. If your skin remains calm, the product is likely safe for you to use.

General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A clear, lightweight, jiggly gel.
• Feel: Spreads easily with a watery slip. Feels instantly cool and refreshing on the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly, leaving a hydrated, slightly dewy finish that is not greasy or heavy. May feel slightly tacky for a minute before fully drying down.
• Scent: Fresh and clean "aloe" fragrance.
• pH: Not officially published, but typically formulated around 5.5 - 6.5 to be close to the skin's natural pH.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 20, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals prone to fungal acne. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My skin feels tight or dry after using the gel.
  Solution: Your skin is likely too dry for this to be a standalone moisturizer due to the alcohol content. Use it as a hydrating serum step on damp skin, and immediately follow up with a richer, alcohol-free cream to lock in the moisture.
• Issue: The gel stings a little when I apply it.
  Solution: This is likely the alcohol content reacting with a compromised or sensitive skin barrier. Stop using any harsh exfoliants or cleansers for a few days. If the stinging persists on calm skin, this product may not be suitable for you.
• Issue: The product is pilling or rolling off in little balls.
  Solution: You are likely using too much product, or not allowing it to fully absorb before applying your next skincare step (like sunscreen). Use a smaller amount and wait 1-2 minutes for it to dry down completely.

This aloe gel is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-greasy texture provides perfect hydration without feeling heavy or sticky in the heat. It's an ideal daily moisturizer for those with oily and combination skin.
• After-Sun Care: A must-have after a day at the beach or outdoors. Store it in the fridge for an intense cooling sensation to soothe sunburned and heat-stressed skin.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioning: During cooler, drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned spaces, you may need more moisture. Use this gel as the first hydrating step and layer a more nourishing cream on top to prevent dehydration.

Alcohol Denat.

Denatured ethanol, used in cosmetics to make products feel lightweight, cool, and fast-absorbing. It can also act as a solvent and preservative. While effective, it can be drying or irritating for some skin types.

Aloe Vera

A plant extract known for its powerful soothing, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory properties. Ideal for calming irritated or sun-exposed skin.

Centella Asiatica

A medicinal herb, often called "Cica" in K-beauty, celebrated for its ability to soothe inflammation, heal wounds, and strengthen the skin barrier.

Humectant

An ingredient that attracts water molecules from the air and draws them into the skin's surface, like a moisture magnet. Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid are common examples.

Your skin's health and your trust are our top priorities.

Q: Can I use this if I have dry skin?
A: Yes, but we recommend using it as a hydrating first step, not as your only moisturizer. The alcohol content may be drying over time. Apply it to damp skin and follow with a richer, alcohol-free cream to lock in the moisture.

Q: Is this product good for acne?
A: It can be beneficial for acne-prone skin because it provides lightweight, oil-free hydration and its soothing properties can help calm the redness and inflammation associated with breakouts. However, it is not an active acne treatment.

Q: Why does the ingredient list say "Alcohol Denat."? Is it bad for my skin?
A: Alcohol Denat. is included to make the gel feel cooling, lightweight, and absorb quickly without stickiness. For oily skin types in a humid climate like Mauritius, this can feel very pleasant. However, for those with dry or sensitive skin, it can be drying or cause a stinging sensation, so a patch test is crucial.

Q: Can I use this on my hair?
A: Yes. A small amount can be applied to the ends of damp or dry hair to help tame frizz and add a bit of lightweight moisture without a greasy feel.

Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or normal skin, and as an essential after-sun care product for all skin types in a tropical climate.
