    Hi, 

    What natural preservatives can be added to aloe vera gel ? Say if I am looking at making a 99 percent pure aloe vera gel what should be my remaining 1 percent preservative or stabilizing agent etc. Could some one help. I am looking at a shelf life of 6 months. I am fine to take a paid service if someone can help from this trial production to commercial production.

    There has been plenty of discussion on natural preservatives in this forum.  Take a look at this thred that was updated recently and be aware of the risk you may be taking by choosing a marketing claim over product safety

    You’re gonna have to define what you think is natural and/or what standard you are following.

    I have seen spectrastat recommended on here along with some others
