The Science-Driven Skincare Brand Bluelene Takes a Giant Leap Forward with a Groundbreaking Discovery
Methylene Blue, a Century-Old Medicine, Offers a Multifunctional UV Blocking Agent with Broad-Spectrum UV Irradiation Protection
A Novel Solution for Sunscreen Development, Bluelene’s Bluevado SunFix Combines FDA-Approved Filters with Methylene Blue for Exceptional Efficacy
A New Era in Skin Health and Aging, Mblue Labs’ Research Challenges Traditional Sunscreen Formulations
Methylene Blue, a well-established medicine, has been found to possess a multitude of benefits in the realm of skincare, including broad-spectrum UV protection against UVA and UVB rays, ROS neutralization, and DNA damage repair, while being safe for coral reefs. This groundbreaking discovery has led to the development of Bluelene’s innovative sunscreen, Bluevado SunFix, which combines FDA-approved physical filters, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, with an optimized dosage of Methylene Blue.
The researchers at Mblue Labs discovered the multifunctional properties of Methylene Blue through a research project supported by a small business STTR grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2020. The goal was to develop a safer, more effective alternative to conventional chemical UV filters like Oxybenzone, which are found in over 70% of sunscreens and pose significant risks to human health and the environment.
- Methylene Blue offers broad-spectrum UV protection against UVA and UVB rays.
- It neutralizes ROS (Free Radicals) and repairs UV irradiation-induced DNA damages.
- Methylene Blue is safe for coral reefs and marine ecosystems.
The research paper, “Ultraviolet radiation protection potentials of Methylene Blue for human skin and coral reef health,” was published in Nature’s Scientific Reports and provides further evidence of the benefits of Methylene Blue in skincare. “This patent validates our commitment to redefining sun care with smart, effective, and planet-safe science,” says Dr. Kan Cao, Professor at the University of Maryland and Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Mblue Labs. “Our formula goes beyond surface protection to address the molecular triggers of skin health and aging.”

| Bluevado SunFix | Combines FDA-approved physical filters, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, with an optimized dosage of Methylene Blue for exceptional efficacy. |
| Bluelene Moisturizer | Delivers anti-aging benefits with the same cosmetic elegance as Bluevado SunFix. |
“Our vision for Bluevado SunFix was deeply rooted in our concern for coral reefs and the skin health of our customers. We are proud to have delivered superb broad-spectrum UVB/UVA protection and post-sun repair, as well as the full anti-aging benefits of our Bluelene Moisturizer, with the same cosmetic elegance,” says Jasmin EL Kordi, CEO Mblue Labs.
Mblue Labs is now actively pursuing regulatory pathways to get Methylene Blue included in the FDA sunscreen monograph, enabling broader access to its skin- and planet-friendly benefits. Highlights of Mblue Labs’ Research:
- Methylene Blue offers a novel solution for sunscreen development, combining broad-spectrum UV protection with anti-aging benefits.
- The research demonstrates Methylene Blue as the new retinol challenger for anti-aging treatments.
