Ingredient in some topical gels

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloe

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "Bitter drug from a leaf juice" , "O, ale with bitter plant" , "Bitter fruit" , ". . . . vera, soothing plant" , "Succulent plant (may be bitter!)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
