This is a great shaving gel, however, the amount of aloe vera is very small (it's listed near the end of the ingredients). The key components are water, propylene glycol, glycerin, allantoin, panthenol, and other similar substances. While these are all effective for shaving, it isn't accurate to call this an 'aloe vera shaving gel.' The scent is powerful; I'd like it better if it were less fragrant. You need to rinse it off after shaving to avoid a sticky feeling on the skin.
