The Benefits of Glacial Clay in Skincare

glacial clay in skincare

Canadian glacial clay found in specific regions of Canada is gaining increasing recognition as an effective skincare product that has significant anti-aging properties and is full of over 60 natural minerals that make it an important skincare wellness ingredient.

After the last ice age about 14,000 years ago, glaciers began to melt leaving depressions that contained various types of sediment or “drift” collected during the migration of the glacial water and ice.

Over time, these glacial lakes began to dry out, leaving behind large deposits of clay made up of sediments, glacial water, and many other components. Some of the largest deposits have been found in British Columbia.

Analysis of this clay by research scientists revealed that a incredible wealth of rich earth elements, marine actives, micronutrients, and vitamins. Also, the clay is made up of particles that are as fine as the mist in a fog bank, making them minute enough to penetrate the inner layers of the skin and draw out toxins.

Glacial Clay’s Benefit For Your Skin

With aging comes poor circulation, internal inflammation, and dehydration. Exposure to harsh environmental pollutants can lead to a build-up of toxins which eventually show in the skin.

According the research of BC glacial clay by Dr. Ernst A. Hauser, a professor of colloid chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the clay’s high absorption makes it ideal for drawing out impurities and toxins from the skin.

Here at Nayelle Probiotic Skincare we develop, study and research unique active ingredients from various parts of the world.

We became aware of glacial clay many years ago and began researching its properties and experimenting with it for use in cosmetic preparations.

We now use pure oceanic glacial clay in many of cosmetic formulations. We have received positive feedback from users claiming it helps heal acne, reduce blemishes, and improve skin tone, firmness, and overall skin appearance.

Glacial Clay - natural, organic and mineral rich

Aside from its many cosmetic benefits, unlike other types of clay, glacial clay, after application, leaves the skin feeling silky and hydrated rather than tight and dry.

Ingredients that go beyond just topical care such as our own Canadian glacial clay are nature’s gift for optimal skin health.
