Honey Girl Organics is well known for being passionate about the power of natural ingredients. One ingredient that our customers have asked after is Diatomaceous Earth. As one of our star ingredients, it deserves its moment in the spotlight, just like all the others!
Let’s dive into what makes Diatomaceous Earth so amazing, and why it is a must-have in your skincare routine!
What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring powdery substance that is made from fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. This soft, siliceous sedimentary rock provides silica, calcium, and magnesium minerals.
This versatile ingredient is prized in skincare and utilized for pest control, household cleaners, and pet care!
Why Do We Use Diatomaceous Earth In HGO?
Honey Girl Organics is committed to harnessing the power of Mother Earth to create effective yet gentle skincare products. Diatomaceous Earth is something we use in our formulas for many reasons, from supporting the health of the skin to promoting collagen production. There are a number of reasons why we have this natural wonder in some of our formulations:
#1 Gentle Exfoliation
The naturally occurring fine particles in Diatomaceous Earth make it an excellent exfoliator. It gently, and naturally scrubs away dead skin cells, revealing brighter and healthier skin with continued use.
This type of physical exfoliation is great for sensitive skin, as it is not a chemical and will be a more gentle exfoliation without the risk of any irritation. ✨
#2 Mineral Rich
Diatomaceous Earth is loaded with essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper. These are all amazing for the health of your skin, as they support the natural healing process when utilized in skincare. 🌟
#3 Absorbs Oils
This highly absorbent powder is an excellent excess oil absorber for oily or acne-prone skin. It helps reduce shine and may even prevent future breakouts. A double win! 💧
#4 Collagen Support
Inside of Diatomaceous Earth lies Silica, which is essential for maintaining the health of your skin! Silica is noted to support collagen production, which helps to keep skin’s elasticity and firmness as you age. 💎
