Diatomaceous earth
INCI megnevezése: Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous Earth, often referred to as DE, is a naturally occurring, porous sedimentary rock composed of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of microscopic algae. Its chemical formula is primarily SiO2 (silicon dioxide), with traces of other minerals. In cosmetics, Diatomaceous Earth is used for its gentle exfoliating properties and absorbent qualities. It appears as a fine, soft, chalky powder and serves as an effective yet non-abrasive exfoliant, aiding in the removal of dead skin cells, impurities, and excess oil.
Additionally, Diatomaceous Earth can be found in products like facial masks and scrubs, contributing to smoother and revitalized skin.
