Body Care
When it comes to skincare, most of us tend to put greater emphasis on the face than on the rest of our body. However, keeping your skin looking radiant from head-to-toe, can go a long way to help you look healthy and feel more confident. The Vata Dosha regulates the levels of moisture in the body. If you do not keep your Vata balanced, you might notice dry, flaky skin, and brittle hair and nails.

At Forest Essentials, we believe in adapting traditional formulations and methods of manufacturing with the purest, seasonal, and natural ingredients to create our quintessential bath and body care products in order to help you restore your Vata. This is because nature’s creations, unlike chemicals, are full of living, vibratory energy that constitutes life. Bath and body care were extravagant rituals in ancient India that we aspire to revisit with our line of Ayurvedic body care products. This includes deeply hydrating body lotions and body wash, handmade silk soaps, exfoliating body polishers for soft skin, and cold-pressed, Ayurvedic body massage oils.
Ayurvedic Bath and Body Care Bestsellers
- Handmade Silk Soaps: Cured for at least 12 weeks for the finest quality, these unique handmade silk soaps have a 100% natural, pure silk infusion. The texture of these soaps give the skin a glow. These ancient formulations are infused with a variety of fragrances, each with their own benefits, for you to choose from, such as nourishing Panchamrit, clarifying Lakshadi, illuminating Soundarya and Hydrating Silk Soap- Gulab Jal.
- Bath and Shower Oil: These hydrating blends of light, water soluble bath shower oils combined with pure extracts of flowers and herbs, are perfect to create a sensual, luxurious and therapeutic bath ritual. They do not only tone and detoxify the skin, but also uplift your senses with the fragrance of their constituent flower and also drench the skin in a sheer veil of shimmer.
- Cold-Pressed Ayurvedic Body Massage Oils: We use the traditional form of cold-pressing by hand to extract the oil of fresh fruits and seeds. This body massage oil is obtained by the first press of the ingredient, without external application of heat so that potent nutrients in the oil remain intact. This massage oil is then blended with steam distilled, floral essential oils, to make it fragrant as well as healing and toning.
- Body Mists: A collection of fragrant body mists, each prepared with steam distilled essential oils of flowers, that leave the skin scented for hours. Infused with the exotic fragrances of traditional Indian flowers and spices, these are intensely cooling, moisturizing and refreshing.
- Virgin Cold Pressed Oils: Known to possess therapeutic properties, these are highly absorbent and hence serve as great “carriers” of other herbs. Essential oils, which typically cannot be used raw, can be blended with these oils. We recommend trying each of our three virgin base cold pressed oils that have been used for centuries in Indian households and are classics in their own right: Virgin Coconut Oil, Virgin Almond and Black Sesame Oil. These are enriched with Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6 and E as well as several essential fatty acids, to nourish the skin and give it a fine, silken texture. The oils act as a physical barrier to environmental pollutants while they seal in skin moisture and promote its regeneration.
