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 clay composed of more than 60 rare earth elements and marine-rich ions that is the only clay of its kind in the world.

Glacial Oceanic Clay has served the First Nations people well for hundreds of years. They continue to use this clay for medicinal purposes and applying topically to help heal cuts and wounds. Our over 30 years of experience and research have proven that this Glacial Clay is one of the best cosmetic clays on the market, and that it is suitable for every skin type to help heal, restore and rejuvenate the skin.

Glacial Oceanic Clay rests beneath a blanket of rich humus and is constantly refreshed by the ocean. It is accessible for harvest with very strict governmental, environmental and community guidelines. This precious material is collected with every precaution taken to ensure that the pristine site is preserved forever. Ironwood Clay prides itself on harvesting this natural clay with minimal ecological footprint.
