SUPER-CONDUCTIVE HOMEMADE ULTRASOUND GEL

Want to avoid the harsh chemicals found in the typical blue conductive gel? Here’s a simple, natural DIY recipe you can make at home for a clean, effective alternative!

Aloe + Glycerin + Baking Soda + (Xanthan Gum if needed) = Perfect Clean Ultrasound Gel!

Aloe vera is naturally conductive and skin-healing.
Glycerin improves conductivity and keeps it from drying out during the session.
Xanthan gum adds body if you want a thicker texture, similar to commercial gels.

Ingredients:

1 cup (240 mL) pure aloe vera gel (organic if possible)
2 tablespoons (30 mL) vegetable glycerin
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — enhances conductivity
2–4 drops grapefruit seed extract (optional, natural preservative)

Instructions:

Prepare: Sterilize a glass bowl and whisk/spoon. Make sure your workspace is clean.
Mix Base Ingredients: Pour 1 cup aloe vera gel into the bowl. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin. Stir gently until fully combined.
Supercharge Conductivity: Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon baking soda into the mix. Stir thoroughly. Baking soda slightly alkalizes and improves electrical conductivity.
Thicken (Optional): For thicker gel, add a tiny pinch (1/8 teaspoon) of xanthan gum while stirring briskly.
Preserve (Optional): Add 2–4 drops of grapefruit seed extract to extend shelf life.

Pour into a clean, airtight container.
