Do you have questions about Aloe vera?
Ever since Dr. Michael Haley applied Rodney Stockton’s Aloe healing cream to a serious rope burn and experienced first-hand the incredible power of Aloe vera to restore health to damaged skin, he has been telling everyone who asks about the benefits of Aloe vera … and especially the barbadensis miller-stockton variety.
Dr. Haley founded the Stockton Aloe Research Library to collect information about Aloe species and to answer questions ranging from “What is in Aloe vera gel?” to “How can I use Aloe vera gel for medicinal purposes?”
This is the place to talk about Aloe products — whether Aloe gel, Aloe juice, Aloe cream, Aloe cosmetics … or any of the many health-promoting goods formulated from 100% raw, pure inner leaf Aloe vera gel. You are invited to join the conversation.

Q: I heard about you on Paul Nison’s Raw Life Health show. I am dealing with leaky gut. Do you have any experience with aloe vera gel contributing to the healing of leaky gut? Please let me know your thoughts about this.
A: We have tremendous experience with customers that consumed raw aloe vera gel for help with the full gamut of stomach and intestinal disorders; from indigestion to cancer. If someone in my family wasn’t drinking aloe and had leaky gut, aloe vera gel (inner leaf only) would be the first food that I would add to the diet. Of course I would eliminate some things too… starting with gluten – which you have probably already done.
does this cream help with psoriasis
Aloe products and raw aloe gel from the plant have been used on psoriasis for many with varying results. I have heard many testimonials pertaining to aloe and our aloe cream. However, testimonials don’t qualify as science, so we won’t make any claims. I suspect that higher amounts of aloe and lower amounts of other ingredients will give good results. Our product has never been clinically researched related to psoriasis.
With that said, as a physician, when it comes to psoriasis, we look to healing from the inside out starting with the supporting the gut by eating the proper gut healing foods and avoiding those that irritate the gut. Even if the topical works, it will be a temporary fix. But if the inner problem is fixed, then you wouldn’t have to treat the psoriasis externally any more.
Hi!
Can you tell me when it might be back?
I noticed that your Youth Derm Cream is out of stock! Oh no! That stuff is magical; my husband just came down with a nasty fever rash that itches like crazy and we ran out of the cream and I rushed to buy more, only to find you’re out of stock.
Worried,
Allison
Thank you, Allison, for your inquiry.
Our recent shortage has been quite good for us: we realized just how important our topical aloe creams are to our customer base. Even in our own home there has been a slight panic as we have run out of our New Youth Derm Ultra Healing Cream and have resorted to test batches from our product research and development team. Luckily, even those that didn’t make it all the way through product development are excellent and meeting our personal needs.
BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR CUSTOMERS?
Well… the good news is we went into production at the lab this morning, April 16th 2013. We are making a new product that is similar to the New Youth Derm Ultra Healing Cream, but without all the fancy synergistic ingredients. We left out things like Essential Oil Lavender, Theobroma Cocoa, and Manuka Honey. This new formula still has 70% Barbadensis Miller Stockton specie, so we are expecting it to perform quite well. Yet, by leaving out a few of the lush ingredients, we are able to bring it to the market at a fraction of the price. We will send it off the lab for testing. Assuming all goes as planned… we should have our newest formula available in about 2 weeks.
Regarding the New Youth Derm Ultra Healing Cream that you have come to love; we are waiting on an ingredient to arrive from Australia. We will likely be in production in a couple weeks and have that product available in mid May.
Please subscribe to our email newsletter for the latest product announcements, specials, and more.
Thank you for the response. I will be on the lookout
I absolutely LOVE your Youth Derm Ultra Healing cream – please, please, please don’t ever stop making it. My skin is very picky and I’ve struggled my whole life to find products that I can use & love. This one is absolutely #1 on my list. I’m ordering the other one to try to get through it until this one is available again. When I put it on, it is so soothing, it feels like I gave my skin a vacation – I get comments all the time, you look so rested – even if I’ve only had 3 hours of sleep! I cannot say enough good things about this cream. I’ve been anxiously waiting for you to have it in stock again – just wanted you to know how important & loved it is.
Thank you, Lori. We love the Youth-Derm Ultra Healing Cream too. I am confident that the new Youth-Derm Aloe Cream will be a huge hit too. I remember how upset people were when we discontinued the original formula. They were certain we couldn’t make a better aloe cream. Your comments and others like it are very encouraging to us.
We should have Stockton Aloe 1 Youth-Derm Ultra Healing Cream back on the shelves in about 2 more weeks.
is excess of aloevera is good for health
Possibly what you really mean is “Can you drink too much aloe vera?” or possibly “Is drinking lots of aloe vera good for you?”. It is possible to drink too much of a good thing. Kids have actually died by drinking too much water.
But the real thing to consider is “how much should I drink”. And, quite frankly, this is a complicated question for various reasons including:
1. People consume aloe vera for different reasons.
2. Aloe beverages can be quite different from one manufacturer to another
If you are consuming aloe vera for a medical purpose, it is best you get advice from your physician. If you are merely consuming it as a food, then you should consider it as you would any other food and eat or drink what seems right for you. If you are consuming “whole leaf” aloe, start with small servings since it might contain much aloin from the outer leaf. If you are consuming inner leaf only with less than 10ppm aloin, you really don’t have to be concerned about the possible laxative effect of aloe. Most reputable brands indeed have less than 10ppm aloin.
Can fresh aloe vera leaves be frozen?
A funny thing happens to the leaves when you freeze and then thaw aloe leaves… they turn black. But if you filet them and grind or blend them into a drink, freezing the drink does not seem to change it so much. We have never tested the gel from a leaf that was once frozen. I don’t know whether or not it would be nutritionally different. But the gel that was once frozen proves to be quite nutritious.
Can I Order Your Aloe products, through the mail to Nova Scotia Canada ?
We get lots of requests for our products in Canada… however, we don’t ship our aloe gel to drink to Canada. We do, however, ship our aloe creams for external application across borders.
Is this gel carrageenan free?? I live in Canada and I am trying to find PURE aloe vera gel that I can purchase in Canada.
Alex, you found 100% pure gel. We haven’t heated it, added anything, taken anything out… only filleted the leaves and then run them through a grinder. We then merely bottle and freeze the gel. However, due to the spoiling nature of the product and difficulty keeping it frozen while crossing borders and clearing customs, we don’t ship to Canada.
