  Seems odd they didn't list aloe gel (or other gels) as an ingredient...that seems to be the most common formulation.

  For expedited compounded pharmaceuticals, the FDA strictly limits ingredients to the minimum necessary to achieve efficacy.  An inactive gel only improves cosmetic texture, not efficacy.  They do not function in the same way that surfactants function in household cleaners to loosen dirt on surfaces. DAVID! I GOT YOUR BOOK IN THE KNICK OF TIME!!  It just sold out on Amazon.
