Sometimes it is necessary to use different methods to capitalize on all its properties. One of these is to freeze the aloe vera gel extracted from the leaves of the plant.

That is why it is important to freeze aloe vera gel. Another method of preserving this ingredient is to store it in a jar with a lid.
