Forest honey · Assam tea
Two ingredients sustained by the same forest.
01 — Overview
FRESHERAL uses two key ingredients from Huay Hin Lad Nai: forest honey and Assam tea. They share a place of origin and one essential condition: a forest canopy that has never been opened.
02 — Key ingredient
This forest honey comes from nests the bees choose to build themselves, rather than hive boxes, in woodland cared for by the community.
The community sets the collection cycle. The amount gathered varies from year to year, so we never promise a quantity in advance.

03 — Key ingredient
At Huay Hin Lad Nai, Assam tea grows beneath large trees, rather than in open plots cleared of forest. The tea plants belong within the forest’s structure, taking their place alongside the trees instead of replacing them.
Shade means a slower harvest cycle than in open plots. That carries a cost for production, but it is also what keeps the forest canopy in place.

04 — Inside Super Seed
A healthy forest holds many kinds of plants. Super Seed brings together several cold-pressed seed oils, alongside vitamin C in a form that remains stable in oil.
No mineral oil or silicone. Where most formulas use these, ours makes room for seed oils.

05 — Why these two
Ingredients grown in open plots offer predictable, controllable yields. Those that depend on the forest bring less certainty, but their economic value is tied directly to the forest’s continued existence.
In this system, protecting the forest does not depend on good intentions. Income already depends on keeping it standing.
The fourth rule of this same system.
