Lysi Icelandic Tea with Lemon is a 240 ml multi-purpose cosmetic oil made in Iceland. Unlike traditional fish oils, this formula combines the deep nourishment of Omega-3 fatty acids (from cod liver) with the fresh, natural scent of tea tree and lemon. It is designed as an all-in-one treatment for dry skin, damaged hair, brittle nails, and rough cuticles. The oil absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it a staple in Scandinavian minimalist skincare routines.
Key benefit: No fishy smell. Just clean, herbal-citrus freshness.

Q: Does it smell like fish because of the cod liver oil?
A: No. Lysi uses a proprietary deodorization process that removes all fishy odors. What remains is only the essential oil blend of tea tree and lemon.
Q: Can I use it on my face?
A: Yes, but with caution. Apply 1 drop to dry areas (cheekbones, sides of nose) avoiding the eye contour. If you have acne-prone skin, patch test first – tea tree can be drying.
Q: How should I store it after opening?
A: Keep in a closed bottle inside a dark cupboard. Do not refrigerate (it will thicken). Use within 12 months of opening.
Q: Will it make my fine, oily-at-the-roots hair look greasy?
A: Only if applied to roots. Keep it 5 cm away from the scalp and apply only to lengths and ends. Lemon oil helps regulate sebum.
Q: Is it vegan?
A: No. The formula contains cod liver oil, so it is not vegan. However, it is cruelty-free (not tested on animals).
