Like her grandmother and mother, Ásta, founder of Oil of Iceland, consumed a spoonful of cod liver oil every day from early childhood onwards. Cod liver oil is one of the best sources of omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and is a way of life for Icelanders. It has been used in Iceland for ages to improve health and prevent various health problems.

Icelanders, blessed with pure nature and clean waters are firm believers in the power of eating fish and taking cod liver oil to improve their well being.

Ásta was born with extreme eczema and allergies. So severe that doctors told her she would always have to take medicine and subscribed steroid creams and various medicines to her to keep the symptoms down. Asta knew that the omega-3 oil helped because whenever she did not take it her skin would worsen. Later in life she began experimenting with natural marine products to heal her own skin. Ásta also made lifestyle changes to keep her skin healthy focusing on good nutrition, sleep, exercise and breathing techniques.

The results were incredible and not only is Asta entirely free of eczema and allergy but she uses no medicines to this day and her skin has never been healthier and looked better.

Ásta believes in a holistic way of skincare, treating the body inside out and therefore developed a skincare regimen that consists of a pure skin serum to be applied twice daily and Oil of Iceland capsules for daily intake.

With every purchase of Oil of Iceland you can also sign up for Ásta’s tips for how you can improve your lifestyle to improve your skin health.

Her aim is to share her products and advice built on her own experiment to help others improve their skin health.
