500 grams of pure dried powdered New Zealand Glacial green clay. Harvested in South Westland NZ from the Franz Josef Glacier region.

New Zealand Green Glacial Clay (Nontronite) is a rare, mineral-rich, freshwater clay from the South Island, formed from volcanic ash in glacial lakes, prized in skincare for its detoxifying power, high hydration retention, and anti-aging properties (iron, silica for collagen). It's known as "Mother Nature's Powdered Gold," offering superior purification with a high detox rating (CEC) without drying skin, making it excellent for masks to firm skin and boost moisture. Key Characteristics & Benefits: Origin: South Island, New Zealand, from ancient volcanic ash in glacial lakes. Mineral Makeup: A rare Nontronite (smectite group) clay, rich in iron, silica, magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals. High Detoxification: Has a very high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), making it highly effective at drawing out impurities. Hydrating & Anti-Aging: Uniquely hydrating, it helps skin retain moisture and provides minerals (silica, iron) essential for collagen production, improving firmness. Purity: Sourced from a remote, pristine deposit, ensuring it's natural, organic, and free from chemicals. How it's Used: Typically mixed with water to form a creamy paste for face masks. Applied to clean skin, left for 10-15 minutes (rinsed while slightly tacky) for maximum benefit. Why it's Special: Its mineral profile is unique compared to other green clays. It cleanses deeply but also nourishes, unlike many clays that can overly dry skin.
