Blue Lagoon Skin Science Unveils BL+ Lip Renewal Mask with Clinically Proven Hydration Boost

other · 2026-08-19

On August 20, Blue Lagoon Skin Science will introduce its BL+ Lip Renewal Mask, with Vogue Shopping readers receiving early access on August 19. This new addition to the skincare line is inspired by Iceland's geothermal waters, first identified in the 1970s by physician Grímur Sæmundsen, which led to the establishment of a psoriasis clinic in 1992 and the launch of skincare products in 1995 by Ása Brynjólfsdóttir. The lip mask incorporates the patented BL+ Complex, featuring Blue Lagoon microalgae, minerals, silica, bakuchiol, and ceramides. Clinical studies indicated a 56% boost in lip hydration and a 13.8% decrease in wrinkle depth. Additionally, it comes with a dual-ended metal applicator, and dermatologist Alexis Stephens emphasized the role of ceramides in restoring the skin's outer layer.
