Skincare for MenCrafted with High Performance Ayurvedic Ingredients
The Gentlemen’s Code
From ancient sculptures of Indian men with intricately shaped beards, to the modern-day gentlemen whose priority is to step out looking suave, all point to grooming as central to Indian culture, since time immemorial. With increasing expectations on men to present themselves with crisp style and confidence, gone are the days when grooming was restricted to a quick shave, slapping on some aftershave and heading out of the door. Our Gentlemen’s grooming products are formulated keeping this in mind.
From dry, parched skin to oily, blemished skin the revitalizing and healing properties of fresh Sandalwood paste, Citrus extracts, Aloe Vera juice, Turmeric and tender Coconut water infused in the Forest Essentials Gentlemen’s Collection products make for an effective daily grooming ritual with a visible difference on your skin from the first use. Commence your grooming ritual with the best of Ayurveda and experience perfectly slick, spick and span skin.
The Ayurvedic text of Charak Samhita considers the act of shaving- Kshaurkarma, as a significant part of the Din Charya or daily routine. It describes shaving as an art, one during which you must spend enough time and care. We at Forest Essentials believe a hurried shave leads to dryness, irritation and rough skin; which surely would come in the way of your modern age aspirations to look effortlessly suave. Take time out for yourself and allow us to build the perfect ritual that your skin will love.

Discover the Art of Shaving
Ancient sculptures of Indian men as clean-shaven or with intricately shaped beards, to archaeological excavations of well-designed copper and bronze razors, all point to grooming as central to Indian culture, since time immemorial.
In a culture highly influenced by the purification and cleanliness ideals of Brahmanism this comes as no surprise. Additionally, owing to its mostly tropical geography, India’s climate tends to be hot, humid and dusty throughout the year, which explains further the obsession with cleaning and grooming.
