You will need an emulsifier like polysorbate. Otherwise the aloe and the fragrance will not stay mixed.

Thanks soapbuddy...is the polysorbate a liquid? Would it be possible to just put on the label Shake it up? If I only did 3oz bottles with 5or6 drops of EO/FO would I still have to emulsify this?

What is the percentage of Polysorbate to oil or water? I use it in my spray cleaner but it still separates so I must not be using enough.

Essential oils each have a different structure and constituents. I would start poly/EO 3:1
Mix the poly and the EO first before adding it to the aloe. If the EO is a heavier or more viscous you might need to go 4:1.
