Brand overview

Forshelli™ is a brand dedicated to those with sensitive and reactive skin. They focus on skin health and believe that when the skin is healthy it fixes many of its own problems. Great care was taken to only choose ingredients that have multiple skin benefits and the formulas were created with as few ingredients as possible. Forshelli™ produces its products sustainably by conserving energy in the production process. The brand also uses fully-recyclable cartons, mailing boxes, packing material and packing tape. Archana was a DIY formulator for many years before she received science-backed training as a natural skincare formulator from Formula Botanica. She says that the course material is created like a college-level course where you are encouraged to think, research and experiment instead of simply being fed answers and facts. Archana loved the material and gained enough knowledge from her Formula Botanica courses to help her develop her formulations into the perfect skincare range to launch her business with.
