TARAMAR - Skincare for the Spotlight

Icelandic handcrafted skincare endorsed by actors of the National Theater.

TARAMAR introduces a revolutionary new concept to the skincare market - a brand that bridges the two worlds of cosmetics, the the Green Organic world of pure and safe skincare and the technical world of active and functionally effective skincare.

TARAMAR products are made from carefully selected natural and organically certified ingredients from the Icelandic nature, which are then infused together with cutting-edge NoTox® technology. This patented technology boycotts all harmful chemicals, including the conventional preservatives that are strongly suspected to have harmful effects on body systems and organs.


TARAMAR unlocks food science for the benefit of our skin.

TARAMAR was created by Dr. Gudrun Marteinsdottir (Runa), professor of marine biology at University of Iceland and her husband, Dr. Kris Kristbergsson, professor of Food Sciences at same University. Runa says that “since 1979, we have conducted research on marine ecosystems and food sciences with a focus on edible super food from marine sources”.  We have published more than 200 peer reviewed scientific papers on our research and since 2012, we have transferred part of this research into the development of the TARAMAR skincare. Our aim has been to created solutions that are 100% toxic free and contain no harmful, irritating, or endocrine disrupting chemicals.  To do this we had to invent a new technology NoTox® (patented by us), that enables us to boycott all conventional preservatives, as these are the chemicals that create havoc inside our bodies. In fact, the resulting TARAMAR line is truly a food for the skin, nourishing it from its deepest cells and changing skincare forever.

Uncovering Iceland’s Hidden Treasures

Using innovative technologies and slow cosmetic processes, Runa and Kris developed unique skin-actives from the Icelandic nature. Runa said that “during this extensively long preparation period (> 12 years), we learned that all parts of the process line, from seeding, harvesting, extracting, formulating, and packaging are vitally important and by carefully designing each step to maintain the natural frequencies of the powerful plants and seaweed, we were able to create skincare that is different from everything else on the market.  As we were developing skincare for our own use, we did not cut any corners when it came to achieving maximum quality and functionality. Some of the processes became quite meticulous and time consuming, as we found that gently teasing out the natural actives over a very long time (even 6 months), returned skin-active compounds of unbelievable potency.

Power Up with Natural Vibrations

When you pick up a TARAMAR product, you may both smell and feel the vibrations of the natural skin-actives. You may not realize what exactly you are feeling, but you will detect that this is something different and if you have been introduced to slow food, you may detect the same feeling of a deep and nurturing sensation within the creams.

Taking Iceland by storm!

It has been thrilling to witness the impact that TARAMAR has had on the Icelandic market in the last 5 years, says Runa. Before, there were no available solutions that provided both absolute purity and real anti-aging skin-reforming effects. The entrance of TARAMAR to the market has created new opportunities in skincare for people who are globally conscious and like to put safety and their wellbeing first. The company has created a range of natural skincare products that are free from synthetic chemicals, preservatives, and artificial fragrances. These products provide an effective solution for people who want to take care of their skin without exposing themselves to potentially harmful substances. With TARAMAR's entrance into the market, people now have access to natural anti-aging skincare solutions that they can trust to be safe and effective.

When you travel to Iceland you can purchase the TARAMAR products at the Duty Free store at KEF airport. Also, you can order online from www.taramar.com

No more harmful chemicals – only pure bioactives that touch your skin.

It is quite challenging to achieve a TRUE purity in skincare.  Not many people know that the production of skincare is a dirty business. More often than not, the facilities are not food grade and need to be fumigated for insects every day.

Setting up TARAMAR in Iceland, we are lucky in many ways. First of all, we have access to some of the purest water in the world. Also, there are few insects in Iceland and none are found inside our houses. Therefore, we do not need to fumigate or worry about infestation.

As we, professors of marine and food sciences, did not have an experience with production of skincare, we set out to design our own method, the NoTox technology. Being free from any pre-programmed ides of how skincare should be made, we set up our processes as we would in making food. For this reason, the TARAMAR handcrafted process line is food grade aligned to a very high sanitization standard. As a result, facility differs from what you see in the industry. It is indeed fit for a food production and is sparkling clean. No toxic or harmful chemicals are allowed anywhere in the process; not even strong soaps or anything that can create harmful effects for either us, the humans or our precious nature. Indeed, technically, the run-off from our factory can be digested.

All these efforts are reflected in the quality of TARAMAR and today a significant part of the Icelandic population has switched from chemically rich skincare to fresh and pure TARAMAR. What’s more, advanced skincare users such as our famous actors of the Icelandic National Theater as well as other celebrities prefer to use TARAMAR to safeguard their skin and minimize the negative effects of heavy makeup needed on stage.

True Nature, Advanced Science, Powerful Results

Many of the TARAMAR products have been tested by an independent laboratory and confirmed to provide unique results, reflected in healthier, firmer, smoother, and more even skin with boosted collagen support and long-lasting moisture.

TARAMAR does also conduct its own skin evaluation involving hundreds of Icelandic users.  The results as astonishing and even beyond expectation. Testing with state-of-the-art instruments has allowed us to detect how soon and how fast the skin-actives generate significant and visual changes to the skin.

The outcome shows that in only few days, the skin undergoes highly significant changes with up to 40-70% decrease in pores and uneven texture. People suffering from red skin issues, such as rosacea have also experienced relieve with significant decline of red skin in the first month and a gradual improvement over the following months. In some cases, red skin had nearly disappeared (decreased by 89%) after 90 days.  

A one of a kind – Pure Skincare Club for globally conscious people

TARAMAR has only recently introduced its Pure Skincare Club on the international market. In Iceland, the Club has revolutionized the way people view skincare.
