Glacial Oceanic Clay: How Does It Compare?
Clay-based skincare is ‘taking off’ as consumers tap into the power of natural Earth ingredients, but not all clay is equal. Understanding why some clays are better than others and which types are suitable for you is important. NENA Glacial Skincare uses pure Canadian Glacial Oceanic Clay, the world’s rarest and most unique clay. By looking at the ingredients of most clay-based skincare products (the most popular being the Clay Mask), we often these types of clay: Kaolin, Bentonite, and French Clay. How do they stack up?
- Gentle yet powerful: NENA Clay is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive and dry skins as it draws impurities out of the skin, while simultaneously pulling moisture to the surface from within the skin, while gently exfoliating. It leaves the skin clear, clean and soft, and, most importantly, hydrated.
- Rich Mineral Deposits: The convergence of glaciers and Northern Pacific Ocean waters over millennia has created a rich deposit of pristine clay, rich with more than 60 minerals and rare earth elements. And its thanks to these minerals that Glacial Oceanic Clay has an exceptionally high cation-exchange capacity, meaning it is a mighty magnet for toxins and impurities!
- Pure and Pristine: Glacial Oceanic Clay is sourced nowhere else in the world aside from the Northern Pacific Coast of Canada, in a remote geographical location that is hard to access and uncontaminated by population or by industry. It can be harvested only at specific times of the year, in specific atmospheric conditions making the Canadian clay coveted for its rarity.
