OUR INGREDIENTS STORY
QUALITY INGREDIENTS, THOUGHTFUL FORMULATIONS
At Forneta, we carefully select premium ingredients from trusted suppliers to create products that truly work. Our formulations combine the best natural botanicals with effective modern actives to address your unique skin concerns.
INGREDIENT PHILOSOPHY
We believe in transparency and quality. Each ingredient in our products is chosen for its specific benefits and how it works in harmony with other components. We source our ingredients from reputable suppliers who meet our standards for quality and consistency.
OUR STAR BOTANICALS
AFRICAN OILS
Our formulations feature powerful botanical oils like baobab, marula, and kalahari melon. These nutrient-dense oils deliver essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help nourish and protect the skin while improving texture and elasticity.
ROOIBOS
This South African herb offers excellent soothing properties that make it perfect for sensitive skin formulations. Rich in antioxidants, rooibos helps calm irritation while supporting the skin's natural defenses.
YANGU & MONGONGO
These lesser-known botanical treasures bring unique benefits to our products. Yangu oil is naturally protective and ideal for sensitive skin, while mongongo oil delivers deep nourishment and antioxidant protection.
SHEA & COCOA BUTTERS
Our butters are rich in natural fatty acids that help strengthen the skin barrier. We use these ingredients as the foundation for many of our body products, providing lasting moisture and protection.
EFFECTIVE ACTIVES
We enhance our natural formulations with targeted active ingredients:
NIACINAMIDE
This versatile ingredient helps brighten skin tone, minimize the appearance of pores, and strengthen the skin barrier—complementing the nourishing properties of our botanical oils.
FRUIT ENZYMES & ACIDS
From brightening kojic acid to gentle exfoliators like lactic and glycolic acids, these ingredients help improve skin texture and tone without harsh scrubbing.
BAKUCHIOL
A gentle plant-derived alternative to traditional retinol, bakuchiol helps promote cellular renewal while being suitable for sensitive skin types.
CERAMIDES
These lipid molecules help restore and maintain the skin's protective barrier, working with our natural oils to keep skin hydrated and resilient.
Our promise is simple: thoughtfully formulated products that address your skin concerns safely and effectively. Every Forneta product is designed to help you achieve your healthiest skin—because your skin is safe here.
