Forest Bathe ritual:
Apply 4- 6 drops to palm of hands and smooth over face and neck with patting motion. Cup hands over nose and mouth to deeply inhale the forest aroma. Add an additional drop to targeted trouble areas and massage in.

Nordic Adaptogen Complex:
A powerful blend of natural, high potency antioxidants and anti inflammatories to help combat the effects of stress on the skin.

Special boosters:
Specially designed to immediately boost hydration, brighten, smooth and calm skin.

Forest scent blend
Natural essential oils, designed to transport you to the heart of the salubrious Nordic forest; calms and rebalances.

Cloudberry extract:
Ideal for sensitive, inflamed or acne-prone skin, this golden berry grows naturally in the northern climes of Scandinavia. Our wild golden berries are handpicked in Finnish Lapland and are extremely rich in natural antioxidants. Whilst sour to taste, these natural skin calmers have been shown to soothe even the most compromised skins. They are rich in beta-carotene, anthocyanins & vitamin E.

Siberian Ginseng:
Known for its anti-fatigue properties, this adaptogen is packed with antioxidants and rich in nutrients that support and offer environmental protection. This plant grows naturally across Scandinavia, Russia and Northern Asia.

Rhodiola Rosea:
This anti-ageing adaptogen is known for its ability to support skin repair, boost firmness and improve the look of lines and wrinkles. Known to grow mainly in Arctic areas – and also known as ‘arctic rose’ – it is naturally high in antioxidants and flavonoids.

Seabuckthorn oil:
The rich, bright orange oil from the buckthorn plant has been proven to help heal and reduce scarring from acne and improve discolouration caused by environmental damage. Rich in omega acids 3,6,7 and 9, and natural vitamins A,E and C (at the concentration of 10 times that of an orange) it nourishes and supports skin repair.

Birch sap:
You won’t find water as the base of our Nordic Adaptogen Serum. Instead, we’ve boosted our formula with the natural sap from the revitalising Birch Tree. Rich in myriad trace minerals and antioxidants, it is also wonderfully soothing and hydrating.

Spruce knot extract:
This powerful extract brims with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits and is harvested from the Northern European (Christmas) tree. Spruce knot possesses many stellar skin benefits including gentle, anti-bacterial properties that make it a great ally in the treatment and prevention of acne, alongside natural sebum-balancing benefits.

Ferulic Acid:
This natural organic compound is abundant in the phenolic phytochemical found in plant cell walls. A natural skin booster, it can help improve skin’s appearance by reducing the look of lines, wrinkles and discolouration. It is also a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage, promotes firmness, and also helps to stabilise vitamin C, thereby making it far more effective.

Lactic Acid: this gentlest, naturally exfoliating alpha-hydroxy-acid is ideal for sensitive skin, because it is able to renew the skin’s texture without irritation, leaving skin smooth, clear and even. Improving tone, texture and hydration, it also supports optimal collagen production.

Daniel Collins is the Founder and Director at Forest Spa Finland, a super-natural, sustainable, holistic skin-wellness brand powered by Nordic Forest plant extracts, to both counteract and protect against the effects of stress on the skin.
Having spent 30 years in leadership roles within the global beauty industry, working across leading brands and international markets from Asia, Europe to the Middle East and Africa, Daniel felt repeatedly disenchanted by the disconnect between inner wellness and outer beauty; and after some time spent working with a Nordic health brand, he embarked on his personal mission to create products that could bridge that gap.
Daniel spent three years researching the world’s most remarkable resilience-supporting adaptogens, and his search returned him, rather poetically, to his husband’s homeland: a place where he and his family and friends already spent time resting and replenishing every year to counteract the negative effects of their high-stress lifestyles – Finland.
Forest Spa Finland have launched their foundational skin wellness duo, an ingestible supplement paired with a topical skin serum with hero ingredients which are naturally high in proven antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-stress and anti-ageing compounds – providing skin with a replenishing dose of natural immunity that benefits you, inside and out.
