Forever Living
Forever Living is the world's largest grower of Aloe Vera, and the world's largest bee keepers. They have been around for twenty-five years out of Scottsdale, AZ. They manufacture natural-based products from Aloe Vera and the bee hive.
Forever Living was formed in late 1978 by Karl Jensen and Rex Maughn to market Aloe Vera based products (nutritionals and cosmetics/skin care). In 1981, Forever Living acquired Aloe Vera of America and that gave them a huge boost.
Forever Living has a small loyal following here in the U.S. and is doing quite well internationally. The products have expanded into other types of nutritionals ,as well as water and air filtration products.
Forever Living seems very reputable and is really the pioneer of Quality Aloe Products. Mr. Maughn holds a significant position on the National Aloe Science council, and they own their fields, processing equipmen, and hold patents of stabilization that make their products unique.
Forever Living's prices are competitive in the MLM industry, but a little high compared to conventional retail. As mentioned above, they do have a unique patented stabilization process that makes a big difference in the potency of the Aloe content, which is a distinguishing factor. This has been supported by independent results published in the past by the National Aloe Science Council, an Aloe industry group set up for standardization in the industry. I also believe Forever Living has a line of aloe products that are used with animals, and a pharmaceutical grade.
The minimum purchases are comparable to any other MLM, but appear to be promoted as starter kits which have a product mix.
Forever Living's major growth days were in the 1980's, which is when the Aloe Vera craze was in full force.
This twenty-five year old company has 4 million distributors in 44 countries. Their main products include Health& Nutrition, daily care, skincare, cosmetics and Animal care products. Their specific products are "Forever Essentials", and "Artic Sea Super Omega 3."
