Your Bag is Empty
Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare brings together glacial minerals, glacier water, Alaskan botanicals, and functional skincare ingredients. We select ingredients for their role in each formula—from cleansing and exfoliation to hydration and moisture retention. Our botanical ingredients include berries, plants, and mushrooms inspired by Alaska’s arctic and subarctic landscapes.
Botanical
Extraction
We use extraction methods suited to each botanical to incorporate selected plant compounds into our skincare formulas. Depending on the ingredient, preparation may include drying, freezing, maceration, and water- or oil-based extraction. These processes help us bring Alaska’s berries, plants, and mushrooms into formats that can be used in our finished products.
Ingredients
Working Together
We combine botanical extracts, glacial minerals, and functional skincare ingredients to create formulas with a clear purpose. Each ingredient is selected for its role in the finished product, whether that is cleansing, hydration, moisture retention, texture, or preservation. Our approach considers the whole formula, including how its ingredients work together and how it feels on your skin.
Product
Testing
Our tested formulations undergo microbial, stability, skin irritation, and allergy testing as part of our product development process. These tests help us evaluate product quality, stability, and skin compatibility. Individual sensitivities can still occur. Review each product’s ingredient list and directions before use, especially if you have known allergies or sensitive skin.
