🌲 The forest on your body – a gift from nature 🎁

There's something quite special about getting  The forest on the body. Just the thought makes me happy. The scents of juniper, pine and eucalyptus rise in the shower and fill the room with pure, fresh nature.

I just have to try to describe the scent that fills the pans and houses when we boil juniper, and that eventually reaches the bottles that are sent to people all over the country and that makes it so wildly popular. When the juniper boils, the scent fills the whole house with an aroma that is difficult to describe perfectly – but easy to love deeply – deeply like the one I inhale when I take the lid off the pan.

It's as if fresh mountain air, green needles, blue juniper berries and sun-warmed resin meet in the same breath . You feel the crisp, clear and invigorating scent – like a cool breath from the mountains, or like a sip of ice-cold water on a long hike.

At the same time, the juniper scent is earthy and woody , with a hint of spicy warmth that makes it both calming and invigorating at the same time. It gives you the feeling of standing in the middle of mossy tree stumps and fresh wind – it makes you breathe deeper, stand steadier and a smile is guaranteed to come out – and the deep good sigh.

This is the scent of a living forest. Of fresh air, wood and power. And that is exactly the scent that is hidden in every bottle of Forest on the Body.

From forest to soap – true craftsmanship with roots and history

The juniper bushes grow just a few hundred meters from our yard. We go there on foot – or on skis when the snow is deep – and cut off the lovely branches, which are then simmered for a long time in simmering water. After boiling, the juniper tea continues to brew overnight, filling the house with a wildly delicious scent. This is how it becomes the powerful juniper låg that forms the heart and base of Skogen på kroppen , our popular forest soap.

When I lift the lid of the pan and the fresh scent rises, I feel blissful. It smells like breathing in life itself – it's almost like I feel part of the forest and of endless history – and I know that we are keeping an old tradition alive.

Filling the basket with juniper 💚

📜 A little story from the farm

Great-grandfather Brynjulv used juniper for brewing beer here on the farm – as many did in the past (and now where traditions live on in full swing). The juniper gave both flavor, strength and purification to the brew.

For generations, juniper has been used here at our place – first for brewing beer, then for hair washing and skin care, and now I'm sending my son Emil on a beer brewing course – so the circle is complete! 💚

Imagine that the same plant that great-grandfather used in the brewing kettle in the kitchen is now used in the shower to cleanse, heal and nourish. The circle of nature – completely real and completely Vossabia.

✨ 5-in-1 – a little wonder from the forest

What many people don't know is that Skogen på korb is a wild and fragrant 5-in-1 soap! You can use it as:

🌲 Body soap - fresh, cleansing and balancing - and softening

💧 Intimate soap – perfect pH and naturally mild

💆 Shampoo – gives shine, strength and a healthy scalp. Vary with Shampoo with wild herbs

🌿 Conditioner effect – softens without weighing down the hair

🌸 Facial soap – cleanses, removes makeup and dirt, is good for acne, and maintains the skin's natural moisture

It cleanses thoroughly – but leaves the skin soft, balanced and with its natural moisture preserved.
Unlike most soaps that dry out, this one gives the skin a fresh glow, moisturizes the skin, and gives the skin and body a cooling sensation.

💚 Juniper – the forest’s pharmacy

Juniper is a true multi-artist! The shrub has been used for over 3,000 years in folk medicine and for beauty – from ancient Egypt to Norwegian stoves and stoves.
Here is some of what one does for you:

🌿 Cleanses and balances the skin – perfect for impure skin and acne

✨ Prevents clogged pores – and reduces excess sebum – perfect for acne-prone skin

💧 Preserves the skin's natural moisture - without drying it out

🌲 Antibacterial and antiseptic – cleanses without irritating

💆Against dandruff and scalp irritation – gives a fresh and shiny shine

💚 Stimulates circulation and the mind – you feel lighter, happier and more uplifted

It's like getting a small piece of natural medicine in every drop of soap.

Ein a scent that lifts and does enormous good

The scent of juniper, pine, eucalyptus and a hint of fresh citrus provides both calm and energy at the same time. And this crazy delicious fragrance combination is one of the main reasons why customers are crazy about Skogen on the body!

The soap is bright orange – the color of the juniper berries, which turn orange after a long boil – and the aroma is stimulating. A sensory experience you rarely experience in the shower.

The juniper scent is truly something all its own – clear, fresh and uplifting like a mountain breeze , but at the same time warm, woody and safe . You feel that it has the pure green in it, but also the lively, resinous, reminiscent of wood and warmth.

It's a scent that awakens the body, but also soothes and lifts the mind. It seems like I'm going too far here, but standing in the shower with Skogen on your body is an experience in itself – a little forest bath at home in the shower.

🌲 Take the forest with you in your everyday life

For me, Vossabia is about living with nature, not just from it. When I stand and harvest junipers in the snow when winter is coming soon, I feel very clearly how incredibly generous nature is – and how nice it is to be part of this circle.

So take a deep breath the next time you shower – and feel:
You really have the forest on your body 💚
