This year the Canadian Cosmetic Cluster focused on Canadian Glacial Clay (INCI: Canadian Collodial Clay). The Cluster featured Canadian Glacial Clay Company, Kilbourne Clay. Kilbourne Glacial Clay is one of the worlds most purest and mineral rich montmorillonite glacial clays. It is calcium based with an extensive portfolio of macro, micro and trace minerals that are all bio-available for the body to use. Clay is harvested in British Columbia. Used topically Kilbourne Glacial Clay nourishes and cleanses the skin, delaying the skins ageing process, gently removing wrinkles, softening skin, and brightening. Blemishes, black heads, and dark color deposits clear up over time, and the skin becomes rejuvenated, feeling fresh and revitalized.

At the 72nd SCC Technology Showcase the Canadian Cosmetic Cluster did a live demo, making a Powder Cleanser with the Glacial Clay. Formulations for the Powder Cleanser and a Clay Mask are available below.  Formulations done in partnership with Frontier Cosmetics Canada.
