Aloe-based BHA; can PG/alcohol be heated
« Thread Started on Nov 6, 2009, 12:11am »
I have been trying to minimize alcohol in my 2% salicylic acid solution (my most recent formulation was 30% alcohol and 10% PG), and I read on the solubility chart that someone uses aloe vera gel as a base - heat up the aloe, add BHA, stir for a couple hours

Has anyone tried this (aloe-based BHA)?

And also, I was thinking of still using 10% PG (to boost solubility) and 10% alcohol (as a preservative and to boost solubility; I don't mind a *little* bit of alcohol), should I add these to the aloe before heating? After? Is there anything bad about heating either of these ingredients?

So more or less a two-part question....

Thanks!

Sorry, I have not used aloe as a solvent, I still prefer non-denatured ethanol ( http://bulkactives.com/blog/index.php/20....atured-alcohol/ )
