Every aloe vera leaf the company processes is harvested and fileted by hand to protect the plant and ensure only the highest quality inner leaf aloe vera gel is used in the products.They only grow and harvest Aloe Barbadensis Miller. It’s the most nutritionally valuable variety of aloe that nourishes the body inside and out.
With over 50 million aloe vera plants in their aloe fields, they are able to cleanse the Earth of hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 every year.
Forever’s aloe fields are innovation hubs where they test new methods of growing, fertilizing and cultivating their aloe to guarantee the thickest leaves with the greatest inner leaf gel yields.

History of benefits

Forever hand fillets every leaf to extract only pure, potent inner leaf aloe vera gel.
Carefully nurtured
Our aloe can produce leaves for up to five years.
Reuse, reduce, recycle.
All the water used to clean and wash their aloe is recycled back into the fields to help with water conservation.

The Forever Aloe Journey
From their own aloe fields, to processing facilities, production and worldwide distribution, Forever is proud to control every aspect of the journey. Forever only grows and harvests Aloe Barbadensis Miller. It’s the most nutritionally valuable variety of aloe that nourishes the body inside and out.
- Cultivation: After about 4 years of careful cultivation each leaf is gently removed from the plant by hand. Once the mature leaf is removed, it is quickly transported for processing so that the gel remains in its freshest and purest form.
- Cleaning & Extraction: The leaves undergo a thorough cleaning process, bathed several times in cool water and given a high-pressure wash. Any remaining debris is removed and the leaves are inspected for defects. The final leaves are then fileted for the pure gel. The skin is recycled back into the earth.
- Stabilization: Forever Living’s Patented Gel Extraction System separates the clear aloe gel from the outer leaf. The pure aloe gel is collected in stainless steel containers. Then, it immediately goes through a Patented Stabilization Process that protects it from Oxidation and seals in its Natural Potency. Forever Living owns numerous Aloe Stabilization Patents and can assure you of the highest quality products.
- Testing: After stabilization, the gel undergoes extensive laboratory testing and analysis to ensure purity & consistency. Once the aloe gel has been tested & approved, it is transported to Aloe Vera of America in Dallas. Finally, Forever Living performs a series of micro-biological and quantitative testing by their professional staff of scientists & lab technicians.
- Filling: The packaging/bottle-filling process is fully automated and provides for an in-line, 100% inspection of each bottle after each critical step of the process. The bottles are printed with a lot number and pass through a sanitizing device to mitigate any possible physical or microbial contamination.
- Sealing: The new production line incorporates a sealing device integrated with the filling machine. The foil seals are punched from a sheet, formed into caps and are sealed on the bottles immediately after they are filled, before exiting the filler’s sanitary environment. The bottles are individually weighed, pass through a leak detection system, are capped and then pass through an X-Ray machine to check for foreign contaminants.
- Packing: Each minute, 25 cases are erected by the case packing robot. The robot gently places the bottles into the case boxes - four cases, 48 bottles at a time. Then, the cases are taped and weighed to ensure they contain 12 bottles per case.
- Palletizing: Next, the cases move to the Palletizing Robot which stacks the cases onto the pallet in a pattern that is pre-programmed. This is a big improvement for the safety of their employees, who no longer have to hand-stack each pallet. Finally, the finished pallets move to the stretch-wrapping device and are ready for transport into the warehouse.
- Shipping: Forever Living Products ships hundreds of containers every month. In fact, they are one of the largest exporters in the southern U.S., shipping 3,200+ containers per year! These containers are sent to over 160 countries worldwide providing people - just like you - with what they know to be the very best health products in the world.
