Discover Our Legacy: Unveiling the Timeless Beauty of Glacial Marine Clay
Natural clays have stood the test of time, serving as a cornerstone in beauty rituals spanning various cultures and eras—from the grandeur of ancient Egypt and the sophistication of the Aztec Empire to the opulence of modern-day spa treatments. These clays have consistently been revered for their unparalleled skin-enhancing properties, and Glacial Marine Clay is no exception.
For generations, the First Nations have turned to Glacial Marine Clay as a natural remedy for various skin conditions—soothing acne, rashes, redness, eczema, burns, sunburns, inflammation, scars, and even wounds.
Passed down through the wisdom of their elders, the secret of magical healing clay was shared with us, inspiring our mission to make its benefits accessible to all.
Honoring their traditions, we harvest our Glacial Marine Clay by hand, without machinery, ensuring a gentle, sustainable approach that respects the land. Our commitment is to preserve this precious resource for future generations while sharing its healing power with the world.

Our Four Pillars Of Quality and Sustainability
A Unique Harvesting Process
We have the distinct honor of being the sole company in North America that embraces a machinery-free approach to harvesting glacial clay. Our environmentally sustainable practices are a testament to our dedication to preserving the beauty and integrity of nature. We meticulously hand-harvest our clay at low tide, followed by a natural solar drying process in our greenhouses. The clay is then transformed into an ultra-fine powder, boasting an average size of below 20 microns, ready to infuse your cosmetic products with the purest touch of nature.
Environmental Stewardship
Our mineral claims are strategically located at the base of pristine mountainous icefields, which grace us with a generous deposit of 3-4 inches of new clay silt annually. We practice responsible harvesting, rotating between our claims, to ensure a rejuvenation period of 5 years for each area.
By focusing our harvesting on the top 12-18 inches of the surface, we tap into the region richest in beneficial microbiomes and minerals, ensuring that your products are infused with the finest clay. This practice also allows each harvested area to be naturally replenished with 15-20 inches of new clay, ensuring sustainability and purity for future generations.
Giving Back to the Community
Our introduction to the potent healing properties of glacial clay was graciously shared by the Homalco First Nation people, the original stewards of the land where our clay resources flourish. We honor this relationship with a long-term agreement, ensuring respectful access and sustainable harvesting of their cherished clay resources.
In our journey, we remain committed to giving back to the community, with a portion of our proceeds dedicated to supporting local initiatives such as the fish hatchery, Grizzly Bear tours, and nurturing next-generation cultural development among the Homalco people. Our bond with the Homalco is a cherished aspect of our identity, strengthening with each passing day.
Our Commitment to Excellence
At GBOC, our unwavering commitment is to deliver one of the purest and naturally enriched glacial clays available in today’s market. Our journey goes beyond mere transactions; we are devoted to forging meaningful relationships built on a foundation of integrity and ethical business practices. Your trust in our product is a sacred bond that we strive to uphold with every ounce of clay we provide.
