The search for radiant, healthy skin is an ongoing journey. Over time, people have rediscovered the timeless value of clay masks, a skincare staple that not only purifies but also supports collagen production.
The Essence of Collagen
Collagen is the building block of our skin, providing structure, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, our body’s natural collagen production declines, leading to enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. To help slow this process, many turn to clay masks, a simple yet powerful ritual that revitalizes and strengthens the complexion.
The Clay Mask Phenomenon
Used for centuries for their purifying and healing powers, clay masks have always been revered in beauty rituals. Legend has it that even Cleopatra used a blend of clay and honey to preserve her youthful glow.
Rich in minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and calcium, clay draws out impurities, unclogs pores, and absorbs excess oil. Beyond cleansing, these minerals help support collagen synthesis, giving skin a firmer, smoother, and more radiant look.
The Collagen Connection

What is Glacial Oceanic Clay?
Found along British Columbia’s pristine northern coastline, Glacial Oceanic Clay has been forming for over 2.5 million years through the meeting of glaciers and ocean deposits.

Since 1988, Ironwood Clay has been the only company authorized by the B.C. government to harvest Glacial Oceanic Clay. The process follows strict environmental and First Nations community guidelines, ensuring this rare Canadian resource is managed with respect and sustainability.
