Store fresh aloe vera leaves in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel or placed in an airtight container to retain moisture. If you’ve extracted the gel, keep it in a sealed container in the fridge and use it within a week. For longer storage, freeze the gel in ice cube trays and transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag for up to six months.
