Definitely. Aloe is essentially Vitamin E and is really good for your skin.

Yes. Not a deal breaker if they don't but it's always an added bonus when they do!

Aloe is good. My favorite lubes have aloe in them.

Aloe is always a plus, but not a requirement. I have an aloe plant, and have actually used it's insides for lube a couple times. Makes a nice facial, too.

I like aloe. I find my skin feels extra nice after using a lube that contains aloe.

My favorite waterbased lube is by a brand called YES

Here are the full ingredient lists for both the water-based and oil.

Water Based:

Aqua (water), Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera)*, Cyamopsis tetragonolobus (Guar Gum)*, Ceratonia siliqua (Locust Bean Gum)*, Linum usitatissimum (Flax extract)*, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium sorbate, Xanthan Gum, Citric acid.

*Organically grown ingredients

Oil Based:

Prunus dulcis (Sweet almond) oil*, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter)*, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil*, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) seed butter*, Cera alba (Bees wax)*, Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E).

*Organically grown ingredients

All their products are certified organic, though you wouldn't guess it from using it (in my experience, most organic/all natural lubes don't work as well as nonorganic lubes... imo, this one works better).

Aloe is the best natural moisturizer , So it would do good for the user as an added ingredient for lubricants.
