The health, beauty and nutrition industries are awash with products containing aloe vera. But what’s so special about this ubiquitous plant?
An ancient remedy. Humans have been recording the benefits of natural aloe vera for thousands of years. Evidence of its use has been found in Egyptian tombs, in ancient Greek, Roman, Chinese and Indian texts – and even in the bible.
It’s what’s inside that counts. The most useful part of the aloe vera plant is the cool, nourishing gel found inside each leaf. This substance can be used topically to help soothe, moisturise and cool the skin, and can also be taken orally as a nutritional supplement.
Benefits include:
- Immune function support
- Skin health
- Gastro-intestinal wellbeing
- Digestive aid
- Moisturising for skin, hair and nails
At Forever, we take the quality of the aloe vera we use so seriously that we decided to grow it ourselves. In fact, our huge aloe vera plantations in the US, Mexico and the Dominican Republic make us the world’s leading grower and manufacturer of the world’s commercially grown aloe vera. This means we know exactly where every drop of aloe vera gel we use in our products has come from, and we are able to control its quality and purity from plant, to product, to you.
Certified goodness
Forever’s aloe vera-based products were the first to receive the International Aloe Science Council’s (IASC) Seal of Approval for consistency and purity. This non-profit organisation works on behalf of the aloe vera industry worldwide, and its certification programme lets people know they are using the purest, most beneficial aloe vera possible. We care
One of the benefits of owning our aloe vera plantations means we can ensure the farming process is ethical and fair. We are proud to provide an income for workers in the US, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, helping to support the surrounding economy and offering a safe place to work. Did you know? Twenty aloe plants convert the same amount of CO₂ into oxygen as one tree, meaning we cleanse the earth of millions of tonnes of CO₂ every year.
We love aloe vera so much, we created a whole range of products that make use of this amazing ingredient.
Love your body
Aloe vera has become an increasingly popular ingredient in the health and nutrition industry because it can be added to drinks and supplements. Forever’s world-renowned drinking gels combine our home-grown, inner-leaf aloe vera, plus other beneficial ingredients such as chondroitin and MSM, to create a product that cares for you, both inside and out. There are many cheap alternative aloe vera health drinks on the market which often contain fillers and artificial colourings instead of the 100% natural aloe gel pulp used in our drinks. For quality you can trust, choose Forever.
Love your skin
Because of its moisturising, succulent properties, aloe vera gel makes a fantastic skincare ingredient. Our team of researchers and experts have designed a range of skincare products that include a careful blend of aloe vera and other specially selected ingredients. We cater to all skin types, including sensitive skin, and our range includes almost every personal care product you can think of; from shampoos, conditioners, face scrubs and moisturisers, to soap, shower gel and even toothpaste.
