OUR EXPERTISE Discover Ayurveda

The secrets to flawless skin and ageless beauty have been known to Indian physicians for over six thousand years, preserved in one of the world’s oldest systems of health care and healing, known as ‘Ayurveda’ or ‘Knowledge of Life’. Ayurveda works on four levels – body, breath, mind and spirit – it is only when all these are in perfect harmony that you radiate not only outer but also inner beauty.

OUR PHILOSOPHYIf You Cannot Eat It, Do Not Use It On Your Skin

This is the Ayurvedic & Forest Essentials's standard for pure, fresh and natural. We believe that beauty products made of living substances such as plants or their extracts are balanced by nature and contain the vibratory energy that constitutes life. These contain all the purifying, nutritive and balancing properties necessary to nurture the skin for eternal beauty and are the perfect foods for the skin.

Taking this philosophy forward, our formulations only use pure, fresh, natural and seasonal ingredients, which we source from across India, as mentioned in the Ayurvedic tenets. Discover the repertoire of ingredients that make our products a class apart.

CSR has been the cornerstone of success from the time of Forest Essentials’ inception. It has been inherent in the DNA of the company to give back to nature what we take from it, which is also the very premise of Ayurveda.

OUR COMMITMENT Promise of Sustainable Practices
