We've been seeing a lot of posts recently about Baby Shampoo with Aloe.
Aloe has a number of negative affects.
When we were developing Tint Slime UItra back in 2016, we were looking for agents that would slow adhesive activation and evaporation times and we tried some with Aloe.
What we learned was that Aloe caused streaking and increased cloudiness/haziness after a few weeks where in normal baby shampoo that generally did not worsen, or slowly improved over time. Aloe actually got worse over time.
Aloe additive reduced adhesive tactility significantly and performed even worse than if we had used Lanolin.
It held water longer and also had several enzymes, along with a PH, that will break down adhesive faster. We had almost a full pound of tactility loss after one week.
It also seemed to slow drying/evap time which was something we were wanting, but the trade offs were not worth it, so we abandoned the Aloe formula.
We later were able to find what we were looking for to make Tint Slime Ultra, but aloe was not it.
We do NOT recommend any slips with aloe and would even say slips with Lanoline (also REALLY TERRIBLE AND CHEAPLY MADE SLIPS) would even be better than slips with Aloe.
If unsure, check your formulas in the slip and see how much Aloe is in it and fiddle with it on your own. Like any tool, the talent of the craftsman is the most important, but its our opinion use the best tools to make your jobs easier. Tinting can be challenging enough as it is sometimes.
Or, and this is our recommendation, use the number one slip ever made, Tint Slime.
Anything else is just a knock off.
