Forest Essentials: Derived From Indian Ayurvedic Guidelines.

Set up in 2000 by Mrs Mira Kulkarni (a former candle maker), Forest Essentials makes effective products that have been derived from Indian Ayurvedic guidelines.

In the year 2000, there wasn’t a market for freshly prepared recipes with pure ingredients – that used Ayurvedic guidelines. The space was dominated by mass-produced products, which were too strongly-scented. Although they were effective, they weren’t very pleasant to use. Mira wanted to change this.

“The substandard ingredients and adulterated oils were used to keep the prices low. I believed that people would pay for the purest ingredients and the highest quality products if they were available, which was the basis of Ayurveda. For many years, I worked with Vaids and modern Biochemists to curate products that used herbs, hand pressed oils, medicinal roots, precious flowers, and their infusions – prepared according to ancient formulations,” said Mira.

The products include ingredients that have been sourced from locally-grown plants, trees, and herbs – from local farmers that use environmentally-sound farming practices.
