Aloe Barbadensis Miller. It’s a mouthful, but it’s a name worth knowing.
There are around 400 species of aloe plants. They are all succulents found in arid regions throughout the world. They’re each beneficial in their own ways, but there is only one species that has been recognized for millenia for its magically soothing abilities—Aloe Barbadensis Miller.
Records of this plant exist on Sumerian clay tablets from as early as 2200 BC. Aloe’s cosmetic and medical benefits were prized the by ancient civilizations of Egypt, China, Greece, Rome, India, and Arabia. Just like these ancient civilizations, Forever Living reveres aloe for its soothing, nurturing properties.
We rely on the most valuable, most exclusive aloe vera to enhance our health and beauty products. We own all the aloe plantations used to make our products, so we can guarantee the purity and potency of all our products.

Growth and Harvesting
Aloe is the source of our health. The source of our phenomenal products. The source of our business. We take great care in making sure we provide you with the very best aloe on the planet. That’s why we own our plantations.
Forever Living Products owns aloe plantations in northern Mexico and southern Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. But our main source of aloe comes from our 5,000-acre plantation in the Dominican Republic—the largest in the world.
Instead of relying on pesticides, we use goats and sheep to naturally control weeds and provide 100% natural fertilizer to grow a superb crop without compromising the health of the aloe or the environment.
We employ local farmers and provide excellent working conditions. Our farmers harvest our aloe by hand, treating them with care. The leaves are processed within hours, so you get the purest, freshest aloe vera gel intact with all its inherent qualities.
