Blue Lagoon conducts research in cooperation with researchers in Iceland and abroad, and has always fostered a successful collaboration with the university community in the field of research and development. From the beginning, the company has conducted research on natural resources and boosted knowledge for the benefit of society. Examples of research include research into the healing power of geothermal seawater on psoriasis, the bioactivity of ingredients contained in geothermal seawater and research into the ecosystem of the lagoon.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3LbJd9kvfXM”][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/arsskyrsla2021.bluelagoon.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/red2-scaled.jpg” bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” enable_3d=”true” video_color_mask=”#000000″ video_opacity=”0″ min_height=”800″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ top_shape_color=”#ffffff” bottom_shape_color=”#ffffff” el_class=”PageSection-Mynd-Mobile” first_page=”false” last_page=”false” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#ffffff” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][mk_fancy_title size=”28″ font_family=”Lato” font_type=”google” align=”center”]Over 30 years of scientific and theoretical research[\/mk_fancy_title][mk_divider style=”thick_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”60″ border_color=”#333333″ margin_top=”5″ margin_bottom=”5″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1655898118874{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Over 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles and more than a dozen theoretical studies (master\u2019s and doctoral projects) have been published on the subject of the Blue Lagoon\u2019s geothermal seawater.<\/p>\n

From the very outset, scientific research has played a key role in the success of Blue Lagoon and is a prerequisite for all new developments in the company\u2019s skincare products. This is why the company is collaborating with a diverse team of scientists.<\/p>\n
