The FORRESTINE PROCESS
At Forrestine, every formula begins with respect for plants and the people who grow them. Many of our botanicals are organically grown on our own land, while others are sourced from small organic farms that share our commitment to sustainability. Each botanical is chosen for both its quality and its integrity, with full attention to where it comes from and how it is grown.
Our serums are crafted through cold infusion, a slow and patient method that draws out the plant’s full spectrum of nutrients while preserving their natural potency. This process protects delicate compounds such as antioxidants, polyphenols, and vitamins, ensuring they remain intact and bioavailable. By working in harmony with time, cold infusion creates a base that is rich, stable, and alive with the complexity of whole plants.
Clays, minerals, and oils are sourced with the same care. Each is selected for purity and effectiveness, and every partnership is built on ethical practices that honor both the environment and the communities that cultivate them.
Once ingredients are ready, each product is made by hand in our studio. We create in small batches, which allows us to maintain the highest level of freshness and activity. Every jar and bottle reflects the vitality of plants prepared at their peak.
This way of working is slower, but it ensures skincare that feels alive, connected, and true to its source. An expression of care for both skin and earth.
