CINTAMANI
CINTAMANI outdoor clothing is tested in Iceland’s extreme environment,
withstanding all that mother nature can dish out. Because of its high quality,
CINTAMANI has been used on many expeditions, including climbs up Mt.
Everest (8850m) in 2002 and 1997, treks to both the North Pole and the South
Pole, across Greenland´s Ice Cap and over Iceland´s treacherous winter terrain.
CINTAMANI has also sponsored climbs to the summits of Denali, Aconcagua,
Vinson, Elbrus and Kilimanjaro.
Whether an extreme athlete ascending the world´s highest mountains or
someone who just enjoys a leisurely Sunday stroll, you will be comfortable,
warm and dry wearing CINTAMANI outdoor clothing.
Where does CINTAMANI take its name? The mountain people of the
Himalayas traditionally believe that a jewel or stone exists that can fulfill one´s
wishes. In the ancient language of Sanskrit this jewel is called CINTAMANI.
Iceland is exempt from the recently implemented law abolishing tax- and duty-free
sales to travellers within the European Union (EU). Iceland is not a member of the
EU and therefore not affected by the change. In other words, Leifur Eiríksson
Terminal is easy on the wallet!
With stores open for all incoming and outgoing flights, the terminal provides
travellers with a plethora of buying opportunities. All merchandise available at the
terminal is both tax- and duty-free, and prices are extremely competitive. The
decision to end intra-EU duty-free sales is increasing the already flourishing tax- and
duty-free trade at the Leifur Eiríksson Terminal, located at Keflavík International
Airport, while at the same time equalising taxes among EU member states.
Icelandair does not fly between any destinations within the EU. Thus, Icelandair
passengers can shop duty-free at all European destinations, as well as in Iceland,
when arriving and departing.

ICEHERBS
Icelanders have used Iceland Moss (Cetraria islandica ) through the ages. It was
used as food as well as medicine and was believed to be wholesome and nutri-
tious and to cure respiratory complains and digestive and stomack disorder.
Iceland Moss is a lichen, a symbiose between fungi and algae. The active com-
ponents are polysaccharides and lichen acids.
Scientific research (in vitro) indicates that these compounds in Iceland Moss
can prevent growth of bacteria and viruses, and stimulate the immune system.
ICEHERBS is a company that produces health products from Iceland Moss.
The products, Soprano lozenges, Schnapps, Mixture and Capsules contain
Iceland Moss that has been collected in the unspoiled wilderness of Iceland.
Outlets: Icelandic Market, Keflavík airport, Tourist shops, Pharmacies and
Supermarkets.
