Our Iceland headquarters isn’t just the birthplace of BL+. Iceland is home to one of the planet’s most magnificent natural wonders, the Blue Lagoon. The lagoon inspired a cornerstone of the BL+ philosophy: a commitment to protecting our natural world. That is why every decision we make must work synergistically with nature, with science, with the environment. We pour our conservationist ethos into every bottle. That is a world without waste.
Repurpose Carbon Emissions
One of the key components in BL+ COMPLEX is the microalgae cultivated at the Blue Lagoon R&D Center. A natural geothermal gas (CO2) that comes up with the geothermal seawater from 2,000 meters below the surface, and would otherwise escape into the environment, is used to feed the photosynthetic microalgae. This pioneering solution, a carbon-capture method, is a part of the company’s efforts to eliminate its carbon footprint.
By using only local geothermal resources, the whole process uses no fossil fuels. Included in the price of our products are carbon offsets, which compensates for the carbon footprint of our distribution and home delivery services.
Transparency Always
BL+ uses only ingredients that meet the highest environmental-protection criteria and are COSMOS approved. That means everything in our bottles has been harvested responsibly, without damaging our natural resources, and produced in the safest, most environmentally friendly methods possible.
Suitable for vegans and never tested on animals.
100% free from GMOs, toxins, artificial colors, fragrances, essential oils, parabens, drying alcohols, silicones, and petrochemicals.
We use only ingredients sourced with integrity and transparency.
Responsible Packaging
Our neighbor on every side is the Atlantic Ocean, and filling up our ocean with plastic is not an option. Our products use only COSMOS-approved packaging. Our bottles are durable and reusable, and they employ light-resistant UV glass to extend the shelf life of the formulas.
Our primary and secondary packaging is 100% recyclable.
We only use FSC-certified paper.
BL+ products are 92% plastic-free as we work toward 100%.
The BL+ Difference
The key ingredient in our skincare is BL+ COMPLEX, a blend of sustainably sourced bioactives combining Blue Lagoon Microalgae and Silica unique to the Blue Lagoon.
The BL+ Difference
Every key ingredient in our products has a clinically proven benefit—and we never test on animals. In our experience, the healing potential of the Blue Lagoon’s unique ecosystem is still being discovered, and thus we devote 10% of sales to research and sustainable exploration of our unique resource: the bioactive Blue Lagoon water.
As we work toward 100% plastic-free packaging, we are committed to making the life of our products completely circular. That means informing our customers about how to recycle our products.
Commitment to Recycling
Every BL+ package encourages the consumer to recycle. Whether it’s the FSC-certified paper in our outer package or the glass vials of our serums, all BL+ products are designed to be easily recycled by the consumer. When recycled properly, the glass is crushed and melted before being sculpted into new bottles or jars. Further, we work with Pure North Recycling in Iceland to recycle all plastic generated at our R&D Center using renewable geothermal energy.

Iceland is a global leader in clean energy, and that same spirit of innovation reverberates through the Blue Lagoon R&D Center, where BL+ leverages the Geothermal Ecocycle and passionately pursues a circular economy and a society without waste.
Iceland R&D
As one of the few countries in the world generating all its electricity without the use of fossil fuels, Iceland is built on sustainability, innovation, and technology. This progressive mentality extends to the culture of Iceland and the quality of life there. Known as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly countries in the world, Iceland is revered for its impeccable record on gender equality.
Minimal Skincare
BL+ uses clean, powerful bioactive ingredients to create formulas for a minimal skincare routine with maximum results.
Minimal Skincare
We believe that effective skincare means less skincare. And fewer products means fewer packages, fewer bottles, fewer pieces of garbage in a landfill or recycling plant, and fewer carbon emissions.
Social Responsibility
We respect the earth by offsetting carbon emissions and pursuing a world without waste. We respect our community through our commitment to equality and social justice.
Social Responsibility
One of the pillars of BL+ is respect for our world and our community. BL+ by Blue Lagoon Iceland supports a variety of philanthropic causes in the areas of youth sports, the arts, health, and wellness in local communities on the Reykjanes Peninsula as well as throughout Iceland. We believe sustainability is about more than our impact on the environment—it is about our impact on each other.

WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The single best way to reduce our impact on the environment is to consume less. That means less plastic, yes, but also less packaging, less consumption, less everything. We believe in science-based, clinically proven formulas so effective that you need just a few carefully selected high-quality products to fulfill your skincare needs.
