Diatomaceous Earth

DESCRIPTION- Our diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring sand that is taken from the dry or submerged lake and sea base sediments. It is made up of minute skeletons of algae called diatoms that have been fossilised over millions of years. They are employed as abrasives, absorbents, anti-caking and bulking agents, non-surfactant dispersants, and opacifying agents in cosmetics and personal care products. They can also be used topically as a face mask or scrub.
