Diatomaceous earth | household and cosmetics

Diatomaceous earth, nothing less than a new star (yes, yes, a star) in the world of clays. Get ready to use it EVERYWHERE.

It is a key ingredient in our books Remue-ménage: produits ménagers maison and À fleur de pots: cosmétiques maison simples. We love it because:

• It stands out for its powerful deodorizing and absorbent properties

• It is a fine clay: it is suitable for cleaning delicate surfaces (stainless steel, ceramic glass)

• In cosmetic care, it is suitable for all skin types and nicely replaces baking soda in homemade deodorants (hello, you with the sensitive underarms!)
  

We use it...

• As a great fabric deodorizer and for fabric care
  

• In homemade cosmetics as a mask, cleansing clay bar, exfoliant, deodorant, etc!

• In the garden

When we talk about versatility... well, this is it. To learn everything about the thousand and one uses of diatomaceous earth, click here!

Hungry for information?

... huh?

Diatomaceous earth is extracted from diatomite, a siliceous sedimentary rock of organic and fossil origin. It is therefore... a powder of fossilized phytoplankton skeletons. To be natural, it's natural!

Two types: food-grade or calcined

Diatomaceous earth is available on the market in 2 versions: food-grade, or calcined. 

The "food-grade" version is simply ground diatomite. This version is safe and it is the one we sell.

The "calcined" version is the same product, but burned at 1000˚C. This version is non-food grade and toxic. It is therefore NOT the one we sell ;)

Specifications

Transfer to an airtight jar upon receipt and store in a cool, dry place.

Our diatomaceous earth is certified as food-grade by our supplier, but it is not packaged as such in our facilities. It does not pose a danger to the inhabitants of your home.
