"The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spring turned hotel and spa that draws over one million visitors every year. Now, the company is developing skin care using the lagoon’s bioactive compounds. Shop TODAY’s Adrianna Brach goes behind the scenes to see how the brand is turning geothermal seawater into skin care."

"I was always a bit of a face mask-skeptic until I tried this luxurious one. The first ingredient is silica pulled from the geothermal waters of Iceland’s Blue Lagoon. (The second ingredient? Seawater.) The first time I used it, I was in the midst of a hormonal breakout. Not only did it calm my redness almost immediately, but my skin also felt notably soft for most of the following week."

"This Blue Lagoon formula has all the makings of a spectacular daily cleanser. Gentle and airy, it lathers into a featherweight foam that sweeps away impurities; its antioxidant-rich composition aids in skin feeling fresh once you wash it away."

"If your skin feels especially dry and flaky, try slathering on Blue Lagoon’s Skincare Mineral Mask, a 2024 Allure Best of Beauty Award winner. Its blend of jojoba oil, glycerin, aloe vera, and thermal water sourced from Iceland delivers an intense surge of hydration while soothing sensitive skin, leaving you with your bounciest, softest complexion yet."

"The rollerball feels cool as it glides over your skin, dispensing the perfect amount of serum that absorbs immediately to help reduce puffiness and refresh the delicate skin under your eyes. The serum itself is hydrating and soothing, making it ideal for fighting any signs of fatigue after a workout. It's like having a mini, effective spa treatment right in your gym bag."

"Give your skin a boost with this firming mask, which uses a mix of micro algae, silica, and seawater sourced from Iceland's Blue Lagoon. The formula stimulates, preserves, and protects skin's collagen level while deeply cleansing and nourishing. One use and you're hooked."

"This moisturizer’s formula is light as water and just as hydrating. The secret ingredients include Icelandic microalgae, hyaluronic acid, aloe, and niacinamide. Our tester said that the cream was fast-absorbing and left a soft, nearly matte finish on her oily skin."

"For those struggling with rosacea while caring for mature skin, Blue Lagoon’s BL+ line offers a lightweight cream that does the trick to address multiple concerns at once.”

"This eye cream excels in under eye skin nourishment, protection, and smoothing fine lines. Iceland gets cold, and if there’s a brand you can trust to develop an ultra-hydrating, protective eye cream, it’s Blue Lagoon."

"Designed specifically for the eye area, Blue Lagoon’s BL+ Complex uses an advanced system to deliver collagen-boosting microalgae and silica deep into the skin. Also made with ceramides, bakuchiol, and niacinamide, the cream has a rich, melting texture that makes it a treat to apply."

"When it comes to moisturizer, call me 'Goldilocks'—I'm looking for one that's jusssst right. Here it is: Hydrating enough to keep my complexion supple yet lightweight, so my skin never feels suffocated. Its power comes from bioactive compounds sourced from Iceland's famed Blue Lagoon—a destination renowned for its skin-healing properties."

“I’ve been using this brand for years, and my combination skin finds this product very hydrating. The texture melts into my skin, leaving my complexion radiant by the morning. I experienced no signs of irritation, dryness, or peeling. If you’re looking for something that's not irritating, the mineral-rich formula delivers.”

"The official skincare line from the Blue Lagoon in Iceland is a past GH Sustainability Innovation Award winner. In addition to formulating the serum with the famously healing Blue Lagoon seawater, it contains three types of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate, licorice root, and vitamin C to brighten and minimize dark circles, caffeine to depuff, and their signature BL+ Complex to stimulate collagen."

"If the last decade in beauty was defined by acids and actives, the next might belong to biointelligence. Algae, with its blend of performance, provenance and clinical proof, may be where that begins. For Blue Lagoon, the difference is in the science behind it — and that it is unique to the Blue Lagoon."

"Makeup artist Melissa Hernadez prepped Madison’s skin with the Blue Lagoon Mineral Mask for "deep hydration and smoothness," followed by BL+ Serum to plump and illuminate. And to lock in the moisture and ensure the glow lasted all night, she used BL+ Cream, then refreshed the under-eye area with BL+ Eye Serum. Last, she pressed Algae Bioactive Concentrate Face Oil into the skin for the red-carpet glow that was seen on the phones and television screens of many."
