Forever Aloe Moisturizing Lotion is one of those products that gets passed along by word of mouth rather than advertised loudly. It is item 063 in the Forever Living range, it comes in a 118 ml bottle, and it is built for a fairly simple job: putting moisture back into skin and helping it stay there. This guide covers what the product actually is, how it differs from the similarly named Aloe Body Lotion, and what Canadian shoppers should check before they order.

What Forever Aloe Moisturizing Lotion Actually Is
Item 063 is a rich cosmetic moisturizer designed for face, hands and body. That three-area flexibility is the whole point of the format. It is not a serum, not a treatment cream and not a body butter. It sits in the middle ground: thick enough to feel like it is doing something, small enough to keep on a desk, in a bag or on a bathroom shelf.
The formula is built around aloe, with apricot kernel oil, jojoba and vitamin E rounding it out. Forever’s own product messaging describes Aloe Moisturizing Lotion as a formula for replenishing lost moisture and restoring soft, supple skin. That is cosmetic language about how skin feels and looks, which is the right way to think about it. It is a moisturizer, not a medicine, and no one should expect it to do a dermatologist’s job.
What makes it useful is the way a humectant pairs with oils. Aloe behaves as a humectant, meaning it helps the outer layers of skin hold onto water. The oils in the formula then sit on top and slow that water from escaping again. That combination is why a humectant-plus-oil moisturizer feels different from a thin gel or a heavy occlusive balm. It locks moisture in rather than simply coating the surface.
Moisturizing Lotion vs Aloe Body Lotion (Item 647)
This is where a lot of people get confused, so it is worth being blunt. Forever Aloe Moisturizing Lotion (item 063) and Forever Aloe Body Lotion (item 647) are two different products. I have already written about the body lotion separately. They are not the same formula in different packaging, and buying one when you wanted the other is a common and avoidable mistake.
The easiest way to remember it: 063 is the thicker, richer one in the smaller bottle, built for targeted use on face, hands and any spot that needs a bit more. 647 is the lighter body lotion, built for larger surface area. If your plan is to slather something on your whole body after a shower, the body lotion is the natural pick. If you want one bottle that can handle your face in the morning, your hands after washing dishes and your elbows in February, item 063 is the one.

The Ingredients and What Each One Does
None of these ingredients are exotic, and that is part of the appeal. Here is a plain-language read on the main players.
- Aloe is the base. It is a humectant, so it helps skin hold water in the upper layers rather than letting it evaporate away. This is the moisture-attracting half of the formula.
- Apricot kernel oil is a light, easily spread oil that gives the lotion its slip and helps seal in what the aloe has drawn up.
- Jojoba is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and it helps the formula feel less greasy on the skin while still contributing a protective layer.
- Vitamin E is a familiar cosmetic antioxidant, included to help the formula stay stable and to support the overall feel of the product.
Ingredient lists can change from time to time and from market to market, so the label on the bottle in front of you is always the final word. If you have known sensitivities, read the full ingredient list on the official product page before you buy rather than relying on a blog post, including this one.
How to Work It Into a Daily Routine
The 118 ml size shapes how most people use it. It is small enough to live on a bedside table or in a work bag, which means it gets reached for often. Here are the three ways it earns its place.
- Face. After cleansing, while skin is still slightly damp, press a small amount over the cheeks, forehead and jaw. Applying to damp skin is a simple trick that gives the humectant something to work with. Use it morning, evening, or both.
- Hands. After washing, and especially in a Canadian winter when indoor heating and cold outdoor air team up on the backs of your hands and cuticles.
- Body touch-ups. Elbows, knees, heels, shins, anywhere that feels tight. This is not a replacement for a full-body lotion on a large area, but it is excellent for the spots that always seem to dry out first.
If you have sensitive skin, patch test on a small area of your inner arm and give it a day before using it more widely. That is standard advice for any new cosmetic, and it costs you nothing.
Buying Aloe Moisturizing Lotion in Canada
Forever Living products are sold through the official online shop, and independent business owners like me point people there rather than holding stock ourselves. That means the purchasing step happens on Forever’s site, not on this page.
Prices change. Rather than quoting a number that may be out of date by the time you read this, confirm the live price in the shop before you check out. The same goes for shipping options and delivery estimates for your province. Those details live on the checkout page and they are the only version you should trust. If you see a price quoted in an old blog post, a screenshot or a marketplace listing, treat it as a rough historical note and verify it yourself.
One more Canadian note: buy from the official store so you know exactly what you are getting. A third-party listing may not clearly state the item number, and the whole point of this guide is that item numbers matter here.
What to Check Before You Order
- Confirm the item number is 063, not 647.
- Confirm the size reads 118 ml.
- Read the ingredient list if you have known sensitivities.
- Check the live price and shipping cost at checkout in Canadian dollars.
- Review the official store’s return and support policy in case something arrives damaged.
- Decide which format suits you. If you plan to moisturize your whole body daily, order the body lotion too, because 118 ml will not last long that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is aloe actually moisturizing, or is that a myth?
Aloe works as a humectant, which means it helps skin hold onto water rather than supplying oil itself. On its own that effect is temporary. In a formula that pairs aloe with oils such as apricot kernel and jojoba, the oils slow water loss while the aloe attracts it. That combination is what makes an aloe moisturizer feel effective.
Can I use Forever Aloe Moisturizing Lotion on my face?
Yes. Item 063 is designed for face, hands and body, and the 118 ml bottle suits facial use well because you only need a small amount. Apply it to slightly damp skin after cleansing. If your skin is reactive, patch test on your inner arm first and wait a day before applying it to your face.
What is the difference between item 063 and item 647?
They are separate products with separate jobs. Item 063, Aloe Moisturizing Lotion, is the thicker, richer option in a 118 ml bottle, suited to face, hands and targeted dry patches. Item 647, Aloe Body Lotion, is the lighter formula intended for full-body use over larger areas. Check the item number before ordering.
Do I have to buy through a Forever Business Owner?
No. You can order directly from the official Forever Living online shop. An independent business owner can answer questions and point you to the right product, and may earn a commission if you buy through their link, but your order and payment are handled by the official store either way.
How long will a 118 ml bottle last?
That depends entirely on how you use it. Kept to the face and hands, a bottle stretches a long way because the formula is concentrated. Used as a daily full-body moisturizer, it will go quickly, and most people in that situation are better served by adding the larger Aloe Body Lotion to their order.
