I have many aloe vera plants and i'm wondering if i can use them in my CP. Any suggestions? could I peel and juice the leaves?

I don't see why not. I hydrate clays in aloe vera juice all the time.

I buy aloe juice from the health food store. Using my own plants was very time consuming and I couldn't strain all the little bits out.

You can use aloe for all of your liquid. For clay, I normally use 1 tsp. per lb. of soap.

I've made my CP soap with aloe vera and it looks just fine, only thing is that i got a bit frustrated trying to tkae the green outside off the leaves and instead washed the leaves and put them straight in the juicer. Does anyone think that this is a problem?
