During the dyeing process, the color is maintained over time due to the mordant that creates a strong bond between the dye and the fiber. The most common chemical mordants are potassium alum, tartar cream, tin chloride, cupric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, and potassium dichromate. The current trend of increasing nature protection requires the use of clean products for the textile finishing sector and the biodegradability of textiles. Aloe vera is known to be a natural mordant. Mordanting, which consists of the addition of chemical substances, has the function of creating a chemical bridge between the textile and the dye. To mordant a textile, metallic salts, called mordants or fixers, are necessary, Textile effluents are a source of pollution of water and even of the environment in general. The current trend of increasing respect for nature requires biodegradability of textiles and non-polluting products for textile finishing. The protection and improvement of the environment is a matter of major importance that affects the well-being of people and the economic development of the whole world (Principle 2 of the United Nations Conference on the Environment. Aloe vera gel is the transparent mucilage contained in the parenchymal cells of the fresh Aloe vera leaf. It is used in finishing because of its antimicrobial properties. Aloe vera gel, Plant-based textile, Natural fixative, Biomordant, fixation of Aloe vera gel on textiles, fixation of aloe vera on cotton textile and one on aids rhombifolia fibre, active ingredients of Aloe vera bind to hydroxyl groups, which is a crosslinking agent of macromolecules, The mordant creates a strong bond between the plant dye and the fiber to be dyed so that the dye color holds over time. The mordant is the fixative and aloe vera is one such mordant. Aloe vera gel contains a salty substance that allows it to be used in natural and ecological dyeing , Natural textile fixative, In cotton fabric, Aloe vera is used as a dye fixative in dyeing and printing because it contains a salty substance that allows its use in natural and ecological dyeing, Pre-treatment of textiles, in cotton fabric, Aloe vera is enzymatic (catalase, amylase) and gummy facilitating pretreatment and printing, Dispersing agent for textile dyes, Aloe vera is used in the dispersion of dye,
