Blue Lagoon Skin Science is Iceland’s signature skincare brand, drawing on decades of scientific research to transform the mineral-rich geothermal seawater of the iconic Blue Lagoon into a clean, sustainable line of clinically backed products.
Blue Lagoon Skin Science offers a range of products rooted in the unique healing elements of the Blue Lagoon spa in Iceland. The geothermal lagoon water consists of salt and fresh water rich in silica, algae, and minerals, giving it unique skincare benefits.
Blue Lagoon Skin Science products are crafted to hydrate, protect, and rejuvenate the skin, embodying a commitment to clean and sustainable beauty. A visit to the Blue Lagoon lets you experience the water’s benefits firsthand, and with the Blue Lagoon Skin Science line, you can bring that experience home.
Blue Lagoon Skin Science is also part of the curated lineup at Guide to Iceland’s VIP Club.
History of Blue Lagoon Skin Science
The Blue Lagoon's healing properties were discovered in the early 1980s when locals bathed in its warm, mineral-rich waters. As interest grew, people sought it for relaxation and psoriasis treatment.
In 1987, scientists began analyzing the lagoon’s geothermal water, finding it rich in silica and beneficial for skin health. Research confirms that it's algae and silica that help combat skin aging and strengthen the skin barrier.
In 1995, the Blue Lagoon Skincare line was created to make these benefits more easily accessible, and in March 2026, the name evolved to Blue Lagoon Skin Science to highlight the scientific research that has built the brand.
