Harnessing the power of nature and science, BL+ COMPLEX targets skin aging, optimizing skin health over time. Skin becomes stronger, firmer, more radiant.
BL+ COMPLEX
Stimulates collagen synthesis
Healthy collagen is the cornerstone of radiant, youthful skin. With age, the natural production of collagen in the skin diminishes. BL+ COMPLEX boosts the natural synthesis process.
Stimulates Collagen Synthesis
As we age, our bodies synthesize less collagen. This weakens the dermis, which in turn degrades the skin’s outer layer—the epidermis—causing fine lines and wrinkles.
The skin’s dermis layer is predominantly composed of collagen and elastic fibers, which are connective tissues synthesized by dermal fibroblasts. A healthy dermis ensures the skin’s elasticity, firmness, and strength.
Collagen genes COL1A1 and COL1A2 provide instructions for producing collagen. BL+ COMPLEX stimulates collagen synthesis by boosting COL1A1 and COL1A2 mRNA expression. This restores collagen fibers in the dermis, reducing fine lines and wrinkles in the epidermis and reinvigorating the skin’s elasticity, firmness, and strength.
BL+ COMPLEX BOOSTS THE mRNA EXPRESSION OF GENES THAT PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRODUCING COLLAGEN.
THE RESULT IS FIRMER, MORE COLLAGEN-DENSE SKIN.
BL+ COMPLEX
Prevents collagen breakdown
With exposure to UV radiation, existing collagen breaks down. BL+ COMPLEX prevents UV-induced collagen breakdown, preserving collagen health.
Prevents Collagen Breakdown
Skin aging is a natural process caused by both internal and external forces. The primary external force is UV radiation, which accelerates skin aging through the generation of free radicals that cause oxidative stress and activate collagen-breaking enzymes.
When skin becomes degraded through exposure to UV radiation, it is said to be photoaged. UV radiation causes the depletion of type I and type III collagen fibers, with the skin losing its elasticity and firmness as lines and wrinkles form.
At the molecular level, UV radiation triggers an increase of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) enzyme expression in dermal fibroblasts. The MMP-1 enzyme catalyzes the breakdown of type I and type III collagen fibers.
BL+ COMPLEX PREVENTS THE FORMATION OF MMP-1 AN ENZYME THAT BREAKS DOWN COLLAGEN FIBERS.
THE RESULT IS FIRMER, MORE COLLAGEN-DENSE SKIN.
BL+ COMPLEX
Strengthens the skin barrier
The skin barrier is vital for healthy skin. It prevents moisture loss and defends against environmental aggressors. As we age, the skin barrier weakens. BL+ COMPLEX stimulates the growth of proteins that govern its strength and structure.
Strengthens the Skin Barrier
A healthy skin barrier is vital for healthy skin. It is our body’s first line of defense against extrinsic aggressors, such as UV radiation, pollution, allergens, and bacteria. It also prevents moisture loss.
The skin barrier is composed of stratified layers of keratinocytes, the predominant cell type of the epidermis. Keratinocyte differentiation is the process by which these epidermal cells grow into layers, reaching from the depths of the epidermis to the skin’s surface. Robust keratinocyte differentiation—driven by proteins including involucrin, filaggrin, and transglutimase-1—is directly correlated to a strong skin barrier.
BL+ COMPLEX increases the transcription of the genes that encode for these proteins, amplifying keratinocyte differentiation and improving the strength and function of the skin barrier.
BL+ COMPLEX INCREASES THE SYNTHESIS OF PROTEIN, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO A HEALTHY SKIN BARRIER.
THE RESULT IS A STRONGER, HEALTHIER SKIN BARRIER.

The Skin Barrier
For more than 30 years, the BL+ scientists have studied skin ailments associated with a disrupted skin barrier, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, to name two conditions, thereby confirming how vital a strong, intact skin barrier is for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. When the skin barrier functions properly, it prevents moisture loss, maintains hydration levels in the epidermis, and defends against environmental aggressors, such as UV radiation, free radicals, and pollution.

By combining the restorative forces of Blue Lagoon’s patented Microalgae and Silica with an advanced delivery system designed to go deep into the skin, BL+ COMPLEX is a hydrating, firming, and protective powerhouse that optimizes skin health on a cellular level.
Biomimicry Technology.
BL+ COMPLEX is structured in a way that emulates the composition of the cell membrane, allowing it to reach the deepest layers of the epidermis. The skin, in effect, recognizes BL+ COMPLEX as one of its own, giving it the ability to strengthen its cellular structure from within.
Culmination of Three Decades of Scientific Study.
Led by director of R&D Ása Brynjólfsdóttir, Blue Lagoon’s international network of scientists have continuously probed and documented the composition and efficacy of geothermal seawater. Over the years, they have published a wealth of peer-reviewed articles and conducted clinical studies confirming the remarkable powers of the water and its signature bioactive constituents: microalgae and silica.
Based on in vitro and in vivo landmark studies conducted by Professor Jean Krutmann and published in Experimental Dermatology*, Blue Lagoon Microalgae and Silica have received patents governing their use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. These patents affirm the profound efficacy of our uniquely potent bioactive ingredients.
