Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring soft mineral formed from the fossilized remains of microscopic aquatic algae called diatoms, with deposits that have accumulated over millions of years around the world. Historically, it has been used in filtration, polishing, and a variety of industrial and household applications because of its unique mineral composition and fine texture. Today, food-grade diatomaceous earth is incorporated into select all-natural personal care products, toothpastes, soaps, and cosmetic formulations, where it is valued as a gentle mineral-based polishing and absorbent ingredient.
