Blue Lagoon Skincare Derma Line

At Blue Lagoon, every decision is driven by quality, performance, and sustainability. This is how we best serve the health of our customers’ skin. Perhaps nowhere is this commitment more evident than in the development of our Derma skincare line, born of the healing treatments performed at the Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic. Here, discover how the formulas found their way into the skincare routines of people seeking therapeutic relief from chronic skin conditions.

Understanding psoriasis
Psoriasis is a genetic, autoimmune, inflammatory condition in which skin cells divide too quickly and do not shed quickly enough. These excess cells create inflamed, scaly plaques on the skin's surface—typically on the elbows, knees, scalp, and trunk. Sometimes these plaques will itch or crack and possibly even bleed. Psoriasis is considered to be a common and chronic condition, meaning that it's usually a lifelong disease and that flare-ups can come and go at any time.

What to do about it?
Once a dermatologist makes a diagnosis and determines how mild or severe your case is, there are different treatment options for reducing skin disease and symptoms. From skincare ingredients that support, soften, and nourish the skin barrier to UV light therapy which has an anti-inflammatory effect on psoriatic skin, the study of psoriasis treatments is a cornerstone of Blue Lagoon Skincare.

Blue Lagoon and psoriasis
At Blue Lagoon, we take psoriasis and sensitive skin very seriously—and have been studying it for over three decades. The story began in 1976 when an employee in the geothermal plant that formed the Blue Lagoon reported that bathing in the warm water and rubbing the white mud on his skin improved his condition. In 1986 the government of Iceland appointed a special counsel to research these claims. Analysis of the water revealed that it is exceptionally rich in minerals, particularly silica. After three clinical studies indicated that the water in the lagoon is remarkably effective at treating psoriasis, Iceland’s government formally approved Blue Lagoon’s natural psoriasis treatments.

The Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic
Since 1994 the Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic has offered visitors natural psoriasis treatments based on the healing properties of geothermal seawater. Early treatments focused on bathing in the lagoon’s warm, bioactive waters and the application of silica mud. Today, treatments are coupled with UV light therapy. The testimonials from visitors to the Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic speak for themselves: “Her back, arms, chest, scalp, and stomach are all clear. Her legs are much better and nearly clear. She is tanned and looking beautiful. She is so happy and thankful,” said one recent guest who visited from California with his partner. “Wonderfully healing,” said another guest.

Blue Lagoon Skincare to reduce skin disease and symptoms
The skincare used in treatments at the Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic is the foundation of Blue Lagoon Skincare. Used at the Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic since 1994 and with proven results, our dermatological line delivers deep comfort to dry, irritated, sensitive skin while preventing recurrences.

The Blue Lagoon Skincare Derma Line
Fragrance-free, dermatologically tested, and full of nourishing ingredients, the Blue Lagoon Derma formulas are designed for all types of sensitive skin. The light Mineral Moisturizing Cream delivers hydration to dry and sensitive skin; Mineral Intensive Cream seals in moisture with its balmy texture and replenishes very dry and sensitive skin; Silica Purifying Shampoo gently soothes and balances dry, irritated, and sensitive scalps; and Mineral Bath Salts help soothe and balance dry, irritated, and sensitive skin.

Who is the Derma line for?
Most skin types will benefit from the Derma line, although dryer and more sensitive skin will especially enjoy the comforting formulas. “I have extremely dry skin, and this works great. I introduced this product to my whole family, and they love it,” says one user, praising the moisturizing effectiveness. But offering more than hydration, the Derma line also plays an essential role in the skincare routines of many men, women, and children with heightened skin sensitivity. Heightened skin sensitivity is more common than you may think. According to dermatologists, 60 percent of men and women report having red, dry, itchy, or easily irritated skin. “I have highly reactive, red, bumpy irritated skin. This is my miracle product. Even my husband noticed how great it works on his and was surprised at how easily it absorbed and protects his skin,” says one loyal user of the Mineral Moisturizing Cream.
