Our Philosophy

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

That is the Ayurvedic & Forest Essentials 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 and for eternal beauty. They are the perfect foods for the skin.

OUR VALUESSocial Responsibility

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 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.

Three Faces of Beauty

When we determine someone's Prakriti or skin type, what we are actually doing is detecting which Dosha is most dominant in the person's constitution. First, the qualities of Absolute Beauty or poise, radiance, and vitality are the same in everyone; yet they express themselves through our different natures. One has the features of Vata; another, Pitta; and the third Kapha. They are simply different by design, and all perfect in their own right.
