My daughter and I are allergic to aloe and it does make shopping a challenge. There are so many things with aloe in them (lotion, soap, sunscreen, shampoo, make up, eye makeup remover). I can usually tell immediately if I've used something I shouldn't have, it totally changes the texture of my skin, makes it feel like velcro.
Sorry that you have to deal with this also .... though I will admit it is somewhat consoling to know that there is someone else out there who has the same problem!!! It's somewhat annoying when you are asking about its non-inclusion in a store and they look at you as though you're green and won't believe you that it's possible to be allergic to aloe. arrrgghhhh!! :)
