Aloe Vera Juice

Does anyone have an idea of how long this lasts?

I want to dilute my Terressentials mud wash with a mix if aloe juice and water as well as using it on my scalp as a prewash astringent because I battle with dry flaky scalp.

At my walmart they sell a gallon jug but I'm wondering if it will last in the fridge for about a month and I couldn't find consistent information online

Thanks for any help!

I got some from Walmart and had it for about a month & a half. It was good the entire time.

Well then I guess I will go for the gallon jug! Which is good because it's not always easy for me to get to walmart!

Agreed. At least a month.

Is the mudwash too thick then, or you're trying to make it last?

Yes, you can get a month's worth out of it. I have had some aloe for longer than a month. Several months.

But you may not want to do that...

I want to make it last.... I haven't used it yet will be trying it out this weekend but it seems thick in the bottle and my hair is very thick so im thinking it may be a good idea to thin it out to make it easier to get distributed evenly. I know a lot of people are using water but since people have been saying the aloe is what makes it different than making clay mixes with water I figured I'd give it the extra boost by making it last with more aloe.... Just a thought...
