Marilyns Health Diatomaceous Earth 450g

Diatomaceous earth (also called fossil shell flour) is a naturally occurring mineral powder made from the fossilised shells of microscopic freshwater algae called diatoms. These ancient shells are composed primarily of amorphous silica. When mined and milled into a fine powder, the result is a versatile, chemical-free product with a wide range of home, garden, and pet care uses.
Marilyn’s Diatomaceous Earth Shell Powder is a single-ingredient, food-grade quality product with no fillers, preservatives, or additives.
Common uses
