Ingredients

The harder to source, the more potent the plant

Every ingredient in a Frøya jar is there to do a job. No water, no fillers — which is why a small amount goes a long way.

Why arctic plants

Dark, cold wintersArctic winters reach −40 °C and the plants go up to three months without sunlight. To survive that, they have to be resilient.
A short, intense summerIn the far North the sun does not set, so the plant pushes all of its nutrition into leaf and bloom at once.
Wild competitionGrowing wild means fighting off other plants and insects in a diverse environment. That fight is what makes them strong.

Levels of ingredients

Most brands formulate from levels 1 to 3. We only use 4, 5 and 6.

Level 1 — chemicalsArtificial ingredients linked to a range of side effects: parabens, paraffin, phthalates, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate and heavy metals.
Level 2 — industrially madeSeed oils produced with heat and chemicals. What comes out carries compounds you do not want going into your skin.
Level 3 — GMOGenetically modified ingredients carry less nutritional value and are less recognisable to the body.
Level 4 — naturalGrown in diverse, chemical-free environments, free from pesticides and industrial processing, so they keep more of their bioactive compounds.
Level 5 — organicCertified organic: no pesticides, no synthetic fertilisers, no GMOs, grown to strict international standards and traceable from soil to jar.
Level 6 — arcticThe holy grail. Plants that survive arctic winters and ripen in a short, intense window are more potent than anything else on the planet. Our jars are full of them.
