Top quality organic
products made from unique selected Icelandic herbs Villimey
Villimey is an Icelandic organic herbal company based in the Westfjords, one of the most remote parts of Europe, where both nature and ocean are extremely pure. Its products are handpicked and then hand-made from start to finish using top quality production processes.
All the products are 100 percent organic, containing specially selected Icelandic herbs. These are the healthiest herbs that are gathered in peak condition. Because of the climate, the herbs grow slowly, which makes them more effective.
Villimey has received an International Organic Certification. Independent Icelandic research shows, for example, that Villimey’s production of herbal salves and ointments meets the strictest requirements for hygiene and quality practices. Some Icelandic doctors, including plastic surgeons and other hospital staff such as at Burn Units, recommend the products. Villimey's products range from ointments for baby rash to sore joints and itchy feet as well as products that beautify skin and heal wounds.
No product is put on the market unless it has been tested and used for from four to five years.
Villimey ships all over the world. The company's products will probably be sold in Taiwan and Russia in the near future.
