three different concentrations such as
the aloegel:
Water:Aloegel = 40:60,
Water:Aloegel = 60:40 and
Aloegel = 100%

14. Pad dry method

15. In untreated sample the aloevera is not used so that the surface of the
samples are rough and the handfeel is not good.

16. In sample which is treated by 40% aloe-vera gel and 60 % water has a
good handfeel property. It feels soft on the surface and the roughness is
decreased.
