After many years of development with trained Ayurvedic physicians, a range of natural skin care and hair care products was evolved. The view that Ayurveda advocates, is that a holistic approach is necessary for beauty care. There is no ‘quick fix’ method for eternal youth. Only naturally distilled pure essential oils, pure cold pressed, organically grown vegetable oils and plant extracts should be used in skin applications. Plants, unlike chemicals or any of their parts or extracts is full of that vibratory energy that constitutes life. By plants we mean all forms of vegetation including trees, flowers, fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices. These living substances contain all the purifying, nutritive and balancing properties required to be the perfect anti aging food for the skin. Forest Essentials uses this philosophy to produce our line of treatments for hair care and skin care. We use age-old Ayurvedic formulations from scholars who practice an austere code and devotion to their incredible font of knowledge. They supply us with many of our herb ingredients, oil formulas, and Vedic treatments. This is then interspersed with the understanding of a modern biochemist’s point of view to create, with our team, products that have their basis in India’s oldest science but presented in an easy-to-use manner. Typically, an Ayurvedic treatment would be highly beneficial, but not pleasantly scented and messy to use. By keeping its benefits intact, yet making it possible for the discerning woman of today, to integrate this well-being into her everyday life, is the special focus of Forest Essentials. THE START Since 2000, Forest Essentials has changed the course of beauty, Building on the cultural foundations of the past and utilizing the evolving research and technology of the present, Forest Essentials creates the future traditions of beauty. Forest Essentials believes that every product must be as enjoyable as it is effective. Innovative formulas advance the performance of familiar and exotic ingredients. Sensuous textures and scents make for a unique gratifying multi-sensory experience. Forest Essentials first foray was to manufacture hand made soaps, made from oils, which were processed using the cold pressed method, which left the rich nutrients in the oil intact. This age old process was virtually not being used in the present day, so “kolhu’s or old fashioned grinders had to be procured where oil is extracted by hand. To this were added steam distilled pure essential oils for fragrance, herbal infusions, and organic whole fruits and vegetables. These soaps were made by hand, using traditional Indian recipes. These sold faster than they could be produced, showing there was an integral need fine quality handmade products. This actually was the start of Forest Essentials. THE USP Forest Essentials products are not made in factories in industrial areas, but in the Himalayas, in villages in Uttaranchal, using local labor. Our own spring water has therapeutic and regenerative qualities and has been certified by laboratories in France as being rich in mineral deposits, which makes for its unique properties. This water is used in all Forest Essentials products. THE NAME The name Forest Essentials comes from the fact that all the ingredients are sourced from plants, trees and herbs naturally grown in the Forest Essentials forests.
