What make our product line so unique are the extracts of original Icelandic herbs which are blended in the product to give it a more powerful effect.
The Icelandic people have used herbs for many centuries for healing purposes and every Icelander has his own
experience, each in his or her own way.
Quite some time has been and still is invested in research on our Icelandic herbs. It has become clear that these herbs are smaller & stronger, compared with herbs abroad. The growing process of the herbs is shorter en therefore they are stronger, more powerful and purer than similar herbs abroad.
Herbs and their healing ability is one of the greater mysteries in our universe. There is no better way of maintaining a
healthy skin… to keep the pureness of our skin and keep away any undesirable skin problems… but to blend clean, wild
and powerful herbs into the products that are developed by Purity Herbs.
Every herb has its own specific quality or strength to heal, cure and improve the condition of the skin. The special blend
of many different and unlike herbs in every Purity Herbs product makes them all unique. The herbs are searched and
harvested by hand on the exact point of their growth and in the right condition, far away from pollution and build areas to get the most power out of the herb.
Only the parts of the herbal plants which are going to be used for production purposes are cut off and the rest of the
herbal plants get the opportunity to continue to grow in peace. After the extract has been used, the refuse is returned
to nature. So it can be said, the herbs are just borrow from the nature.
* Only our Bath Oils and Soft Lips Balms are not 100% natural.
