On the heels of our introduction of this revolutionary ingredient, we’re doing further exploration of the benefits of Kisolite® BMP Biogenic Mineral Powder with Kevin D. Sathre, Coast Southwest Senior Vice President, Sales; Lawrence Lund, Founder / President at Kisameet Glacial Clay Inc., and Lisa M. Jones, Coast Southwest Regional Vice President, General Manager.
Those benefits are substantial, it turns out, at nearly every level—from formulation to sales.
To start, what’s the story of Kisolite® BMP?
Kevin: Kisolite® BMP is an all-natural, odor-free, mineral-rich glacial clay powder that was originally discovered by the Heiltsuk people in British Columbia, specifically near Kisameet Bay.
They found that this clay-like mineral had healing properties and used it as a remedy for various ailments. We’re now using Kisolite® BMP as a multi-application ingredient for skin wellness and personal care products.
Lawrence: That’s right. The Kisameet Bay Clay Deposit is a one-of-a-kind mineral resource with a distinct microbiome unlike any other known to exist.
What are the unique benefits of Kisolite® BMP?
Kevin: Kisolite® BMP is processed without the use of harmful chemicals and tested animal- and cruelty-free. Anecdotal and preclinical reports have confirmed this natural mineral’s benefit to skin health. It’s also proven to increase concentrations of Elastin, Collagen, and Hyaluronic Acid in human skin cells, which explains its historical use and benefits in improving skin cell viability and health.
All that being said, Kisolite® BMP is the perfect addition to products focused on skin wellness. Lotions, lip balms, facial masks, salves, and shampoos are all examples of the many applications Kisolite® BMP can elevate.
Lisa: Additionally, for formulators, it’s important to note that Kisolite® BMP is an accessible ingredient that can appeal to consumers seeking detoxifying, deep cleansing, and purifying properties from their products.
What’s special about the sustainable harvesting of Kisolite® BMP?
Lawrence: The Kisameet Bay Clay Deposit was first formed an estimated 14,000 years ago and discovered two-to-three millennia later by the Kisameet Bay’s early inhabitants. The story continues through modern academic and commercial research, which have confirmed that the Kisameet Bay Clay Deposit is one of the most extensively explored and researched clay deposits known.
It is rare to have such a large, consistent natural resource or “inventory” in situ. For companies wishing to innovate and build sustainable brands and products, Kisolite® BMP can meet those demands. The supply and availability is sufficient for generations of use.
