This has been discussed here many times before.  Aloe Vera tends to be acid.
The low ph tends to make CS quickly aggregate and fall out. To prevent this,
you must always neutralize the aloe vera before adding the CS. I have always
suggested doing it with bicarbonate of soda, but sodium hydorxide would work as
well.  Once neutralized then the mixture is stable when kept in the
refrigerator for several days, instead of minutes or hours.
