I don't like leaving bad reviews about companies based here in America. I believe we should support these companies and if I have the opportunity to support them I will choose them over a foreign product. So it is with regret that I am giving this review and would like to leave a 5 star review but given what has happened not only to me but also to my sons and my wife I must warn others of the dangers of this product. Before I bought this aloe I read a lot of positive reviews here and very few negative ones. The negatives were usually related to the strange smell and, more importantly, people who reacted badly to it and got rashes on their skin. And that's what this review is about. All four of us had a horrible rash shortly after applying this product to our bodies which you can see in the photos I've attached. Not only did this result in our two children crying, but it also led to a visit to the emergency room for all four of us to reduce swelling and skin reactions. Our youngest son also had breathing difficulties. (probably because we smeared it on his cheeks) The doctors gave us all Benadryl injections and our youngest they gave him something else to ease his pain. It wasn't that we weren't all hurt, he was just screaming from it all. I cannot tell you how scared I was for my children and the absolutely horrific ordeal we went through. I find it hard to believe that aloe itself caused any of this because we have used aloe products before (usually for sunburn) and had no reaction. So my guess is that something else they added was causing these breakouts. I honestly can't recommend this to anyone. If it were just me, I might have suspected I was allergic to it and might even have said that both of my sons had a reaction because they carry my genes. But ALSO for my wife to react with the three of us, it just seems like not everything in it should be put on anyone's skin. I can tell you now that I will be reading negative reviews about future products and will not gauge what people are saying about them. And often I even cover it up when there are so many positive reviews for this or that product, like this one. Which honestly makes me wonder how true and accurate all of these positive reviews are. I hope future people looking to buy this will see this review and seriously consider if it's worth the risk. If you're still buying it, I highly recommend trying it out on a small area first and seeing how you react. It only took about 5 minutes for the first signs to appear and only about 10 minutes for the rash to fully develop on set. Be sure to check out the photos, which should give you an idea of just how bad things are. I only posted mine because I don't want to post my childhood pictures here. I would stay away from this aloe. I wish it wasn't because I want American companies to do well, but nobody should put that on their skin if it would provoke such a reaction. Much luck.
