Found in a remote inlet of northwestern Canada, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in this uninhabited wilderness, it is from this naturally guarded area that the treasured green/grey glacial marine clay is found in rare deposits. With more than 40 minerals, micronutrients and trace minerals this glacial clay is composed of particles as fine as mist. The particle size of the clay is less than 0.15 of a micron, meaning that it is absorbed into the skin to deliver its nutrients directly into the dermis. Glacial marine clay has a pH factor of 6.5 to 7.3, close to neutral, which is desirable for skin and hair applications. Glacial Marine Clay is an excellent therapeutic and cosmetic clay and is frequently used in facial and body masks, poultices and salves. Caution: Patch test is recommended while using Clays to see if it suits your skin. Some Clays are rich in iron oxide and may be absorbed by the pores and result in staining of the skin. Use coconut oil massage to remove the stain. It may stain cloth/fabric as well.

• Allow clay, mud or oatmeal to dry completely for 20 to 30 minutes, preferably while you are lying down. Dont scrub away at your face to remove the mask, instead use a wet cloth to remove the cleanser. Wash off with a wash cloth that you have soaked in warm water, place over your face and allow the mask to absorb the water. Rinse well with warm water, while scrubbing gently with a wash cloth, then spray your favourite hydrosol or toner over cleansed area, and as a final skin treat - massage your face, throat, decollete or body with a good oil (jojoba, argan, marula) and then apply your favorite moisturizer
