Epoch® Glacial Marine Mud® (Canada)

Epoch Glacial Marine Mud is a mineral-rich face and body mask sourced from a high-purity glacial marine mud deposit in British Columbia, Canada — making it one of the few Nu Skin products that's actually Canadian-origin. The mud contains over 50 minerals and trace elements deposited during the last ice age, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and zinc. Applied as a mask and allowed to dry, it draws out impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells while depositing minerals into the skin surface. The mask dries to a visible pull-tightening effect, providing both a satisfying sensory experience and genuine deep-cleansing results.

What Makes Glacial Marine Mud Different

This isn't regular mud in a jar. The source deposit is a glacial marine sediment from British Columbia's coast — a geological formation where ancient glacial action ground rock into ultra-fine particles that then settled in mineral-rich ocean water over thousands of years. The result is a uniquely fine-grained, mineral-dense clay with adsorptive properties that draw impurities from pores without the harsh drying effect of kaolin or bentonite clay masks.

The Epoch line is Nu Skin's ethnobotanical range — products inspired by traditional indigenous practices, with a portion of proceeds supporting the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation. Glacial Marine Mud has been the line's bestselling product for over 20 years.

Key Ingredients

Glacial Marine Mud (50+ minerals): Ultra-fine glacial sediment with natural adsorptive properties that draw impurities from pores and deposit minerals into the skin surface.

Sea Botanicals: Marine plant extracts that support skin hydration and prevent the excessive drying that pure clay masks cause.

How to Use

Apply a thin, even layer to clean face (avoiding eyes and lips) or body areas. Leave for 15–20 minutes until the mask dries and tightens — you'll feel the pulling effect as it draws. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. Use 1–2 times per week. Follow with toner and moisturizer to rehydrate.

Canadian-sourced, Canadian-made — there's something satisfying about using a product literally dug from British Columbia's coastline on your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I buy Epoch Glacial Marine Mud in Canada?

Order from nubestskin.com — no membership needed. Ships from the official Nu Skin Canada warehouse. Standard shipping: CA$2.99, free over CA$79. Delivery: 3–5 business days.

Q: Can I use this on my body too?

Yes — it works on face, back, chest, and any area with congested pores or rough texture. Body application uses more product, so budget accordingly.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Glacial marine mud is gentler than kaolin or bentonite clay masks due to its ultra-fine particle size and balanced mineral composition. Most skin types tolerate it well. If you have very reactive skin, test on a small area first and limit to once weekly.

Q: How long does one tube last?

Approximately 8–12 uses for face-only application (1–2x weekly = 4–12 weeks). Body applications use significantly more per session.

Q: Why is this such a bestseller?

Three reasons: it genuinely works (visible pore-cleansing results), the drying/tightening sensation is satisfyingly noticeable, and the price point (CA$22.90) makes it accessible for trying.
