Golden Moor was founded in 1987 by Marc Saint-Onge (of Ottawa) in his home, using a a washing machine to mix ingredients. After searching 63 bogs, Marc discovered a bog in Casselman, for which he established a 25-year contract for extraction rights. Golden Moore mud is extracted from a bog in Casselman Canada, and retains a high quality due to high levels of humic acids. Humic acids aid in preventing arthritic and rheumatic pain and give the body a sense of well-being. Many Moor properties are present across Europe and Asia, however pollution has rendered them unuseable, resulting in the importing of foreign Moor, in order to supply the demand.
