Our Story

All Dreams Begin Somewhere
Founded in 1978 on little more than dreams and hard work, Forever Living is now a multi-billion dollar company, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, that manufactures and sells dozens of wellness and beauty products. People just like you distribute these life-enhancing products, providing you the opportunity to own your own business and secure your financial future with a proven plan. With over nine and a half million distributors in over 145 countries, Forever Living offers the once in a lifetime opportunity of living a healthier, wealthier life.

For years, Rex searched for a way to obtain these two things, but wasn’t satisfied with anything he found. So in 1978, he invited 43 people to attend the first Forever Living Products meeting in Tempe, Arizona, where he unveiled a customized plan that would provide him—and anyone else—with better health and financial freedom.

Rex proposed a very simple business idea to his closest family and friends. Offer consumable products to the public that are proven to promote lasting wellness and health—and do it in a personal way. Instead of dumping big bucks into traditional advertising, compensate anyone willing to share these products with their family and friends.

Simple Business. High Values.

The caliber of our products and the simplicity of our business plan means anyone can improve their quality of life. Some begin as customers in search of better health products, and they can’t help but share their great product experiences. Others see the business potential immediately and start a successful home-based business.

With millions of people just like you who have the same goals in life—better health and financial freedom—Forever Living Products is successful because it values what you value. It gives you the tools to take control and live the life you’ve always wanted. 

Vertical Integration

Set for Success
When Rex Maughan created Forever Living Products, he knew the success of the company depended heavily on two things—offering quality products at affordable prices and providing a reliable, profitable business opportunity to people like you. 

Since any business relies on a network of suppliers, manufacturers, and Distributors, one hiccup in this supply chain affects the final product. If a supplier raises their prices, Forever Living would either be forced to raise their prices or suffer considerable losses.

Rex knew it wasn’t in the best interest of Forever Living to rely on other third-party vendors to deliver the kind of quality he demanded. So, Forever Living secured its own aloe plantations, manufacturing and packaging plants, and storage facilities, eliminating the need for third-party vendors. 

Quality, Every Step of the Way 

This wise strategy enables Forever Living Products to control quality and cost every step of the way—starting with raw materials and ending with the finished products you enjoy. Forever Living is sheltered from skyrocketing prices and economic struggles. 

It’s completely self-reliant.   

Forever Living is a stable company with a proven track record of growth and profitability. There’s no other business opportunity like it. 

It’s successful. 

It’s solid.

It’s the only business opportunity that offers you integrity through and through, the only business that guards your success like its own.

Charity Work

From a young age, Rex learned the value of service and giving. As a young man, he spent two years in the South Pacific serving the people of the Samoan Islands. He fell in love with the people and their culture.
Rex has since founded numerous schools, as well as, the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum to honor the author who also fell in love with the Samoan Islands and made his home there. Rex has worked to preserve Stevenson’s plantation and personal effects. 

The Samoan people deeply honored Rex by awarding him the High Chief title of 'Tilafaiga' for his efforts to save the rainforests. 

Rex has donated generously to the Foundation for Burns and Trauma, which serves the residents of Arizona and surrounding states with the Smoke Alarm Installation Program, Camp Courage, and Forever Courage House. Forever Living Products was recognized for its charitable donations equaling one million dollars—the largest amount the Foundation has ever received. 

Forever Giving was founded in 2009 to provide a way for customers and Distributors to donate funds to global improvement. It partners with charitable organizations globally to fight against poverty, hunger, and the lack of medical services available for children. The foundation also supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters. 

Rex has a big heart and truly cares for people—especially his employees, Distributors, and community. Rex and his wife Ruth see this charity work as their greatest accomplishment.
