hi!
The aloe vera gel I use is 99% Jeju Aloe from The Face Shop. There are a bunch of ingredients on there that I have NO idea on what it is. Could someone help explain to me what the ingredients are and could they clog pores?
Main Ingredients : Aloe barbadensis leaf extract (of course, lol) glycerin, alcohol denat...
Other Ingredients (heheh, I copied and pasted): ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF EXTRACTALCOHOL DENATGLYCERINPOLYSORBATE 20
CARBOMERTRIETHANOLAMINEBIS-PEG-18 METHYL ETHER DIMETHYL SILANEGLYCERYL POLYACRYLATEALLANTOINBENTAINE
SODIUM POLYACRYLATE
Aside from all those weird terms, there are things like flower leaf extract, rosemary leaf extract, basil leaf extract...
Thank you so much for helping me.

" Has a variety of purposes in cosmetics. It acts as an anti-foaming agent, astringent, antimicrobial agent, and a solvent. It also helps deliver the active ingredients of a product. Almost every type of skincare product lists it as an ingredient, particularly those specifically designed to treat acne.
TheCosmetic Ingredient Review(CIR) Expert Panel has ruled it safe, claiming that the dermal application of skin products would not produce harmful exposure to ethyl alcohol. However, those with dry skin may want to avoid using this ingredient, as alcohol does have a tendency to strip the skin of its natural oils. With that in mind, it may be very useful for anyone wishing to treat acne or oily skin."
