Now I'm in our juniper forest several times a week, and then I think about good memories, enjoy the wonderful scents, prick my hands a little, and fill my basket at any time of the year with enormously health-giving juniper! Right now I'm wading in deep snow and shaking out the juniper under snow crystals and snow and bringing back with me some unripe raw materials for, among other things, fantastic 🧼 The forest on the body .
The juniper has a really big place in my heart 🌿💚 And it has probably had that in the hearts of many people all over the world for thousands of years! It's raw! And they had naturally learned that in ancient Egypt and Tibet, among other places. Its medicinal properties have been valued and used for thousands of years. That we use juniper, which grows right on the hills here, right where the hiking trail starts, goes without saying. Undiscovered raw material full of medicinal and health-giving power! It's perfect 🤩
👉 Juniper has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, among other things, which make the shrub very beneficial for the skin. Antioxidants such as a-Pinene, b-Pinene and Sabine, for example, can act as natural healers and detoxifiers for the skin ✨
👉 Other features of the Christmas tree:
🌿 Cleanses and tones the skin
🌿 Antibacterial and antiseptic properties, which are perfect in a body soap
🌿 Balances sebum production in the skin by reducing excess oil production, which reduces pore blockage and thus prevents acne
🌿 Juniper is also great for preventing dandruff and giving shiny hair, so do like us and try Skogen on both your body and HAIR 🧖♀️
For the Forest on the Body, we boil the juniper for over 1 hour, so it becomes a powerful juniper lager, almost as if we were brewing beer the old-fashioned way. 😌 The scent that spreads during boiling, and which becomes especially clear if you dip your head into the pan after straining, onto the juniper bushes that remain there… oh my, it's like becoming one with the juniper! 😄 Hahaha, I get happy and weak in the knees, and maybe it's not strange. Juniper was used as a sedative in the past 🥱, and it probably affects us now too with a good aroma that goes straight into the system. Right in the braid, that is!
By the way, boiled juniper turns completely orange! So that's why the Forest on the body is bright orange! 🧡 Quite stylish, I think.

We don't just use juniper in the forest on our bodies, but the fantastic juniper essential oil is an important part of other good products such as Shampoo with wild herbs, Body balm, and Forest deodorant. So here you can actually get a complete juniper series! 💚
If you have a little extra time in the run-up to Christmas, the creative can also take up some old Christmas traditions 🎄 Decorating with juniper for Christmas has been done for many generations. Wreaths were hung up to protect against evil, and chopped juniper was strewn on freshly swept floors, and juniper branches were hung on the outhouse for fragrance and decoration. Making a juniper wreath can be a bit of a pain in the ass, but decorate it with bows, Christmas baubles, pine cones and a little lichen for example. It will visualize the very Christmas dream, with the most delicious aroma as a bonus 🌿💫
That's what we do when 🧼 we wash our body, wash our body, wash our body 🧼… with juniper 🌿!
I promise, you will love it! 😉
