New Zealand Glacial Clay
New Zealand Glacial Clay
Discover the pure power of our New Zealand Glacial Clay, sourced from a pristine deposit in the South Island, formed over three million years ago. Created by volcanic ash from the Banks Peninsula settling into a freshwater glacial lake at the foothills of the Southern Alps, this rare Nontronite healing clay is perfect for Kiwi crafters seeking natural skincare solutions.
-
A mineral-rich green Nontronite clay, part of the smectite group, with a purity of 91% due to its remote, unaltered source.
-
Milled to 45 microns, 100% natural, and free from chemical processing.
-
Features a high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of 82Meq/100g, surpassing other clays like Montmorillonite and Kaolin.
This exceptional clay, found in only a handful of locations worldwide, is rich in organic and inorganic elements, making it a potent detoxifier that absorbs excess oils and promotes a healthy complexion. Formed from a vast deposit averaging 60 meters deep—far thicker than typical 1-3 meter global deposits—it remains uncontaminated by sand, ensuring consistent purity. With a naturally high negative charge, it binds to toxins and chemicals on the skin, removing impurities, acne-causing bacteria, and excess sebum while delivering rejuvenating minerals deep into the dermis. Packed with antioxidants, it combats free radical damage from pollution, UV exposure, and aging, while its exfoliating action removes dead skin cells for a smoother, even tone. The clay’s minerals accelerate blemish healing, firm skin by boosting circulation, reduce puffiness, and enhance elasticity, making it ideal for acne, rosacea, and signs of aging. Used in face masks with natural NZ plant extracts and essential oils, it purifies and balances skin, while baths with the clay detoxify the body, improve oxygen levels, and aid recovery.
For face masks, mix 1-2 teaspoons with water or a carrier oil to form a paste, apply to skin, and rinse after 10-15 minutes. For baths, add 1-2 cups to warm water and soak for 20-30 minutes. In DIY formulations, blend at 5-20% to enhance detoxifying and healing properties. Test small batches to perfect your recipe.
For external use only. Store in a cool, dry place. A patch test is recommended, especially for sensitive skin, as individual responses may vary.
