The Móa story

This 100% natural, miracle green balm recipe was passed down to Thury Gudmundsdóttir by her grandmother, famous in Iceland for her herbalist expertise. As a child, Thury would watch her grandmother (whose skin was soft and supple well into her nineties) as she boiled up the herbs in an enormous saucepan and eventually she was taught the secret age-old recipe. Móa gets its name after the wise woman, who understands the power of the moors, or in Icelandic, móans.

 The remarkable healing properties of this simple green balm have been witnessed for generations, however the balm’s full potential had not been realised until Thury used the balm to treat her eldest son’s third degree burns.   His severe burns covered about 40% of his body and although doctors predicted he would be physically handicapped for the rest of his life and would never be able to move normally due to the tightness of his skin, Thury never gave up.   She started to apply Móa religiously to the affected areas and, little by little, her son made a remarkable recovery that astounded doctors and dermatologists alike…a miracle formula was born.

Why Icelandic herbs are so special!

Iceland ’s bitterly cold climate creates slow-growing "super-herbs" which must adapt, in order to survive and in doing so, they develop exceptionally potent essential oils. In addition, the pure unpolluted air, thermal waters and mineral-rich volcanic soils boost these plants further still. All herbs used in Móa come from sustainable sources and are certified organic. Thury uses the skills acquired from her grandmother to pick herbs at their prime and most potent Yarrow - renowned for its nourishing and healing properties, is the key organically pure active ingredient in Móa balm. For centuries, this herb has been used to treat wounds, burns and infections.  Combined with tea tree oil, nature's powerful antiseptic, yarrow creates an unrivalled healing synergy with endless therapeutic properties. Finally, Icelandic water, beeswax, coconut, sweet almond and soya bean oils help to soften, nourish and protect the skin.
