About

Fortae was born from the heart — a tribute to where we come from and a celebration of where we’re going. At its core, Fortae honors the legacy of ancestral traditions while embracing the radiance of what’s yet to come. Rooted in clean, earth-conscious care, each product is intentionally crafted to nourish the skin, uplift the spirit, and connect us to something greater.

The name Fortae holds deep meaning: it’s spelled TAE in honor of my three greatest inspirations — my children, Thorin, Ady, and Ella. Their initials shine at the heart of the brand, surrounded by sun rays that represent the light and joy they’ve brought into my life. Every bottle is a reflection of that love — a reminder to find, follow, and embrace your own fortae: your purpose, your glow.

At Fortae, we believe in bringing more sunshine to the world — through powerful plant ingredients, soulful storytelling, and giving back to underserved communities, especially Indigenous youth. When you use Fortae, you’re not just nourishing your skin — you’re honoring the earth, your roots, and the radiant force within you.

Letter from Susan:

Hi there,

Every bottle is an offering — a blend of powerful botanicals, ancestral beauty, and heartfelt intention. My hope is that Fortae helps you feel deeply seen, held, and lit from within.

Thank you for being here. I’m so glad our paths crossed.

Cheers,
