Sourcing Glacial Oceanic Clay

 

More than 2.5 million years ago, glacier and ocean deposits started forming along the Northern Pacific Coast of Canada, and they continue to do so to this day. The convergence of mountains and ocean waters create a nutritive silt composed of more than 60 minerals and rare earth elements that are continuously enriched by the flow of the sea and sand together.


Ironwood Clay prides itself on being the only company able to offer this mineral-rich clay in its purest and truest form - the only clay of its kind in the world.


Glacial Oceanic Clay rests beneath a blanket of humus and is constantly refreshed by the ocean. It is only accessible for harvest at certain times of the year and with very strict governmental, environmental and community guidelines.


This precious material is collected with strict adherence to Canadian environmental regulations and with every precaution taken to ensure that the pristine nature of this rare site is preserved forever. Ironwood Clay is proud to harvest this natural clay with minimal ecological footprint.
