#RainforestValue products from Forestwise are wild harvested, with respect for nature. We build on the natural diversity of the rainforest in Borneo and the versatility of its inhabitants to create rainforest ingredients for the personal care and food industries.
The rainforest contains many products that can be harvested from the wild: gathered from their natural habitat without causing the rainforest any harm. These products contain many powerful natural ingredients that find valuable uses in the cosmetics and food industries.
