This product has 13 ingrediants in it, of which Aloe Barbadensis Leaf juice is the 8th. Since ingrediants are listed in descending order beginning with the one with the greatest quantity, this shows you how little Aloe Vera is in this gel. In fact, the product listed directly after the Aloe is fragrance!

If I had paid more for this item, I would have returned it to Amazon, because it is useless.

I highly recommend real Aloe Vera or an Aloe Vera plant to anyone who has a burn of any kind, but this product is no substitute for it.

For someone who has never used an aloe vera plant, just break off a leaf, split it open and gently apply the juice to your burn. I have used it on bad sunburns, curling iron burns and a bad chlorine burn (bleach - be careful with it!). I don't know how it works, but it takes the pain away and helps the burn heal faster and with much less skin damage. I reapply it as often as needed and let it dry before covering it with clothing.

To anyone who has ever tried the Banana Boat product, it is mostly water, alcohol and glycerin. Please do not judge real Aloe Vera by this product. However, you can judge the Banana Boat brand by this cheap imitation. Now that I know they substitute water and alcohol for the real thing, you can be sure they will not get anymore of my money!

Absolutely love this product! Provides moisture to your skin instantaneously without leaving a mess! Great for the aftersun and fun time!

This stuff really works for irritated skin. I am thankful that I can order it on Amazon year around. It is only available in the summer in stores.

I first became introduced to Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel while vacationing in Hawaii . . . I absolutely love it & would highly recommend it above other Aloe Vera gels --- I have tried several others, prior to the introduction of Banana Boat & subsequent to using Banana Boat, & Banana Boat is truly the best! (I really like Banana Boat's Vitamin E/Aloe Vera Body Lotion, as well.) It should be noted that these products, are at times (especially during the winter months), very difficult to locate in retail stores.
