Epoch® Glacial Marine Mud® (NZ)

Epoch Glacial Marine Mud is a deep-cleansing face and body mask sourced from pristine Alaskan estuaries, containing over 30 trace minerals (zinc, magnesium, calcium) in a uniquely fine-textured clay that draws out impurities without leaving skin tight or flaky. At NZ$52, it's one of Nu Skin's most iconic products — used for decades as a purifying mask, pore-clearing treatment, and even a body detox application. The natural sea botanicals prevent the drying effect that most clay masks cause.

What Makes Glacial Marine Mud Different

Most clay masks strip moisture while drawing out impurities. Glacial Marine Mud's unique mineral composition (30+ trace minerals from glacial deposits) purifies without dehydrating — the sea botanicals in the formula maintain skin moisture while the minerals absorb excess oil and pull debris from pores. The texture is remarkably fine and silky, unlike the gritty or harsh feel of many clay masks. For Kiwis with congested pores from daily SPF application, humidity, or outdoor debris, this mask provides the deep clean that surface cleansing misses.

Key Ingredients

Glacial marine mud (30+ minerals): Zinc, magnesium, calcium, and trace minerals for deep purification. Sea botanicals: Maintain moisture during the purifying process. Fine-particle clay: Gentle enough for facial use, effective enough for body application.

How to Use

Apply a thick, even layer to clean face and/or body areas. Leave for 15-20 minutes until dry. Rinse with warm water. Use 1-2 times per week. Popular as a full-body treatment — apply before a shower and rinse for all-over skin purification.
