What is Diatomaceous Earth?
"Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is an extremely versatile natural product that is derived from pure fresh water sources. It is a sedimentary rock that is made up of underwater single cell animal remains known as diatoms. DE powder is in turn produced by processing these rocks. Enriched with minerals, Diatomaceous Earth offers numerous benefits and has many uses.
Our freshwater DE is taken from the ancient freshwater lakes of Mount Garnet, Far North Queensland. We process the Diatomaceous Earth directly from the mine, enabling us to ship diatomaceous earth in Australia and internationally."(Source: https://www.diatomaceousearthonline.com.au/)
