Diatomaceous Earth is a natural porous mineral powder used in household, garden, and utility-style applications where a dry powder is needed. This utility grade version is intended for home and garden use rather than consumption. It can also be used in DIY scrubs and polishes where a mineral exfoliant texture is wanted. It is a raw mineral powder, not a finished pest-control or skincare product.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Diatomaceous Earth because it is a practical multipurpose mineral for people who prefer ingredient-led utility products rather than highly processed alternatives. It is especially useful where a dry, porous powder is needed around the home or in simple scrub-style projects.

Our Diatomaceous earth is available in two different grades: Utility Grade (can be used around the home or garden) and Food Safe (safe for consumption).

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.
