The image of scantily clad nymphs swirling concoctions in large pots and preparing ingredients with mortars and pestles amid a sylvan setting takes you to a magical, make-believe world where beauty products contain the goodness and bounty of Mother Nature. That television campaign, created for the ayurvedic luxury brand Forest Essentials, reiterates the transformative power of ayurvedic formulations and ingredients.
