Essentially Natural Diatomaceous Earth - Food Safe is a premium grade, amorphous diatomaceous earth powder valued for its high silica content and fine texture. It is offered as a food safe grade for personal use and is also widely used in DIY personal care such as toothpastes and exfoliating scrubs. The powder is tasteless and does not dissolve in water, which is normal for this material. It is packaged in resealable food-grade paper pouches for practical storage.

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

This product is certified: Vegan, Food Safe, and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Relief for My Dog’s Itchy Skin 🐾

I mainly use this for my dog, and it’s been amazing. He used to struggle a lot with itching and biting himself, but since using this, I’ve seen a big improvement. It’s really helped soothe his skin and keep him more comfortable. Definitely a great product!

I love it!!

A friend recommended this. I bought it for joint inflammation that I have due a tick bite late last year. Stiffness has vastly improved and decreased joint pain. I'm only using it 2 weeks and I already feel a difference. My bones feel stronger and I am hopeful.

Amazingly versatile

This works better than Broadline etc. Cats are much happier. Plus I'm using this in my garden to protect the veggies. Also keeps ants out of my house. And also drinking a teaspoon once a week. Tastes like sand but I honestly feel healthier and lighter. This stuff is amazing!

So gentle it doesn't even have a taste

The first time I purchased the clay it stood for months. Only because I was focused on the oils and butters.
But then my focus finally shifted.
Brilliant quality.
So many uses . I use it in a dry mix as toothpaste. If people stop to ask you about your teeth then you know it works.

Question

Started this morning with half a teaspoon. Feeling little constipated..anybody know if it is fresh or seawater DE.

Hello Gerath! The DE is of fresh-water source. I'd recommend a period of lowering your DE intake and increasing fibre & fluid intake - I hope that you come right soon!

R
Rod (Durban, ZA)

I am using it as a natural alternative for tick protection (sprinkled over his coat) on our dog who has a disturbing nervous reaction to the commercial products and even to rose-geranium. It is not a prevent all but should provide some protection. Product looks good and being "food grade" is reassuring that there won't be harmful effects if ingested.

Gladys V.L. (Pretoria, ZA)

I use the product to detox. It works perfectly. Highly recommend to keep our digestive systems healthy.

Happy with purchase

I've been taking this diatomaceous earth for almost 4 weeks. As far as the product goes, it seems to be high quality, and very easy to drink mixed with water. I've placed two orders, and on both occasions delivery happened in record time. My first order I placed at 1am in the morning and it was delivered just after lunch. Top class service.
