If you haven't tried them I recommend the Aloe products on Aruba. My favorite is the after sun cream but the regular gel is good too. They make great souvenirs if you are willing to risk packing them in checked baggage.
Are they manufactured in an Aruba plant or are they hand made and packaged? I tend to think of mainstream products as coming from the same factory and shipped all over the world.
They are made on the island as far as I know, but watch out! Don't buy at the tourists traps, such as special outlets. The exact same products are available much cheaper at the local stores. Shop around and save a lot of money.
