The International Aloe Science Council Seal of Approval - a confirmation of excellence.

Founded in 1981, the International Aloe Science Council was formed to protect the Aloe Vera industry against unfair competition and unnecessary regulations. The Council was set up as an independent regulatory body, financed from the membership fees of Aloe producers who joined the Council.

In 1982, 25 member companies were part of the Council. A code of ethics was agreed, and an inspection and testing programme was devised. To maintain objectivity in testing, an independent laboratory was chosen to inspect and test Aloe Vera products for purity and strength. Companies whose products meet the high Standards are certified and allowed to display the International Aloe Science Seal of Approval. This critical testing programme began in 1985. Forever Living Products and Aloe Vera of America knew that the quality of their products were unexcelled so they requested testing on their raw Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Berry Nectar.

In early 1986, it was announced that Forever Living Products' Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Berry Nectar would be the first to meet (and exceed) the International Aloe Science Council's high Standards and authorisation was granted to display the Seal of Approval on the products. Our goal has always been to be first in the Aloe Vera industry and to lead the world with highest quality products. Despite the claims of newer Aloe companies that they were the first in  Europe to display the seal, the undisputed fact remains that FLP received the seal in 1986 and has been selling its products in Europe since 1988.

Since we are an international Company serving a diverse population, other awards followed. For example, if you are a label reader, you will notice the small 'K' on the base of our Aloe Vera Gel bottles. This symbol is a Kosher rating given to products that meet very rigid Standards of purity and quality for the Jewish community. In many circles, products with a Kosher rating are looked upon äs being of a higher quality. There are many religious groups that use the 'K' äs a guide to safe and quality products. This symbol is another assurance we have that Forever Living Products are the finest in the world.

Then another award came from The Islamic Society of California. They tested a number of our products and certified that they met all the requirements for product quality and acceptability to the Society. These Standards are also very high and reflect Forever Living's attention to cleanliness and purity in all stages of manufacture and packaging.

Forever Living Products (UK) Ltd is also proud to assert that neither its products nor their ingredients are tested on animals. We subscribe to the Standards set by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). For further information, visit PETA's website at http://www.peta-online.org
