The idea for Alaska Glacial Essential Skincare started on a life changing rafting trip down the Copper River in the year 2000. We stopped for lunch in a canyon near the mouth of the Copper River to spy on brown bears fishing for salmon on the opposite side of the river. After lunch, we took a dip in the glistening pools leftover by summer’s high water. Immediately our feet sank into luxurious buttery mud that had settled out of the turbid water and they proceed to cover their faces and bodies with the silky mud, pretending to be a guests at the most wild spa in the world, surrounded by bear tracks, carpets of fireweed and the calls of eagles soaring overhead. The divine sensation of the glacial mud and ensuing soft skin started my journey to discover the power of the plants and minerals to heal and detoxify skin.

Our Story

Our home is an island on the mainland surrounded by rugged coastal mountains and glaciers of the the Chugach, the wildy braided Copper River Delta, protected waters of the Prince William Sound and the expansive Gulf of Alaska.
