Glacial Bay Organic Clay
Glacial Bay Organic Clay is a raw material ingredient supplier of Glacial Marine Clay powder (Sea-silt) to the cosmetic, health & beauty industry. This company practices environmentally sustainable methods to hand harvest & solar dry while processing this clay. The clay deposits come from an active glacier located in a pristine area on the west coast of Canada. Glacial run off deposits these precious minerals into a pristine Estuary, energizing the clay particles with a strong negative charge that helps bind toxins.
This unique clay is both nourishing and detoxifying when applied to the skin. Unlike any other Clay, the Oceanic nutrients combine with over 50 essential trace minerals to create this magical, healing clay that has an average particle size of 20 microns. This powerful combination of minerals, negative charge & oceanic nutrients produce skin product formulations that are highly effective, extremely stable with no odor and low heavy metal counts.
Glacial Bay Organic Clay created Glacé Spa Clay to provide clay to the Spa industry.
Partnership with Homalco First Nations
Glacial Bay was introduced to this powerful healing clay by the Homalco First Nation people on whose traditional territory the clay resources are located and whose historical relationships with the land continues to this day. They continue to foster and strengthen our relationship with the Homalco people with part of their proceeds going to support their local fish hatchery, Grizzly Bear tours and next generation cultural development.

Creation of Life - Mythology
Mythology from around the world puts a spotlight on clay as a source of life. From the Greeks myths of Promothese carving the first man out of clay to the Hindi myth of Parvati, who created her son, Ganesh from clay and then turned the clay into flesh and blood.
Humanity has used clays for millennia. The Egyptians used clay religiously including the infamous Cleopatra who dug it up from the banks of the Nile and used dead sea mud to achieve her famed complexion. The Romans were using clay in mudbaths, to soothe skin and internally as medicine. Even the great Aristotle advocated for clay to be eaten for its healing properties.

This dried powder requires you to mix the powder with water or into existing products. This allows you to use the powder clay fresh for each treatment, every time. You can customize your clay experience and use it for the skin, hair, body and nails.
Several factors combine to give our clay its unique qualities. First is the source of the clay, from ancient volcanic mountain ranges that produced a lot of Montmorillonites and Illites clay. This clay is known for their high absorbency and stronger cation exchange capacities for absorbing active ingredients and binding to them to produce a more stable clay mask.
Secondly, there is an active glacier and Icefields that feed this ground up clay down long river systems and through electrolysis, our clay particles become negatively charged. This strong negative charge binds with the active ingredients of the formula to produce stable products also binds positively charged toxins such as bacteria when applied to the skin
Third, and just as important is that our clay has a very small particle size, which translates to larger surface areas to absorb active ingredients.
