Topical soother (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloe

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "Bitter drug from a leaf juice" , "Genus of bitter herbs" , ". . . . vera, soothing plant" , "Succulent plant (may be bitter!)" , "shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
