Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is a versatile natural mineral powder made from the fossilised remains of microscopic algae called diatoms. Rich in silica and trace minerals, it's prized for its detoxifying, cleansing, and purifying properties - both inside and out. This ultra-fine powder is Human Codex food-grade certified, making it safe for ingestion as part of a wellness routine or for a wide range of household applications.

Whether you're looking to support your gut microbiome, maintain a chemical-free home, or try a natural solution for your pets and plants, diatomaceous earth is a powerful multitasker. Use it in smoothies or water, sprinkle it on carpets for pet pest control, or blend into homemade cleaning and beauty products - simple, sustainable, and effective.

Directions

  • For Internal Use (adults only): Start with ½ teaspoon mixed into a large glass of juice, milk, smoothie or water once daily. Gradually increase to 1-2 teaspoon per day if well tolerated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. This has no taste, but certain people's palate may give it 'flavour' so best taken with flavoured drink.
  • As a Natural Detox: Take for up to 10 days, then pause for a week. Repeat if desired. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting internal use.
  • For the Home: Sprinkle in cracks, corners, windowsills, or cupboards to naturally deter pests. Leave for a few days and then vacuum up.
  • For Plants and Garden: Dust lightly on leaves and around the base of plants to protect against crawling insects. Reapply after rain.
  • As a Natural Deodoriser: Sprinkle in bins, shoes, or the fridge to absorb odours.
  • For DIY Beauty: Mix a small amount into homemade toothpaste or face masks for gentle exfoliation. Avoid inhaling the powder.

Allergy Info & Warnings

When using diatomaceous earth for human consumption, its important to remember it can be dehydrating/increase general thirst and ensure sufficient water/liquid intake. Always consult your GP before starting any kind of supplement.

Alternatively, if using DE around the home and garden for pest control make sure the space is well ventilated and you wear a mask when handling the product to prevent any significant inhalation. Its best to opt for areas that aren't frequented much (cracks in walls, corners, windowsills, etc) to ensure the DE is left relatively undisturbed by those in the household.

Diatomaceous earth is non-toxic and generally safe around pets, but it should not be applied directly to their skin or bedding, as it may cause dryness or irritation. Avoid allowing pets to inhale or ingest large amounts, as this can irritate the respiratory or digestive system. DE can also absorb moisture, so ensure pets stay well-hydrated when using it in shared environments.

Vegetarian, Vegan.

Packed in a factory that also handles nuts, soya, sesame, eggs, milk, mustard, celery, wheat and gluten.
