Adding aloe vera gel to transdermal recipe?

[zandaman45]

Hey everyone,

Im looking to make the following transdermal recipe below and was wondering if any of you added aloe vera gel to it with any success? If so, what the ratio or amount added?

40% Isopropyl Alcohol = 96ml
15% Isopropyl Myristate = 36ml
15% Isopropyl Palmitate = 36ml
10% Oleic Acid = 24ml
10% Propylene Glycol = 24ml
10% DMSO = 24ml

I cannot answer your question, but had a question of my own. I was looking at making some tretinoin for acne and other skin care and was just gonna use propylene glycol. I noticed you have all these other ingredients. Are you able to explain the benefits of each of the additional ingredients.

Does it help with absorption?
Does it help with viscosity?
Does it increase the wife of the product?
etc...
