In the pursuit of clean, healthy skin, and personal care, many people are turning away from traditional cosmetic products in favor of natural alternatives. One increasingly popular ingredient in natural skincare is Diatomaceous Earth (DE). This mineral-rich powder, derived from fossilized remains of diatoms, is making its mark in the beauty industry, particularly in the range of skin care products offered by Earthworks Health.
Earthworks Health takes pride in offering chemical-free, eco-friendly products that deliver visible results without exposing users to harmful synthetic ingredients. Below, we explore how these products harness the power of Diatomaceous Earth (silicon dioxide) to reduce exposure to chemicals and promote healthier, radiant skin.
What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring soft rock that crumbles into a fine white powder, composed primarily of silica. Known for its absorbent properties and exfoliating properties, DE is commonly used in skincare to purify skin, absorb excess sebum, clear clogged pores, and gently exfoliate. Its silica content helps in collagen production, promoting firm skin, feeling healthy.
Unlike many conventional beauty products that contain synthetic chemicals, Diatomaceous Earth is hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and free of preservatives, parabens, and sulfates. This makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin or anyone looking to reduce their exposure to potentially harmful ingredients in their beauty routine. The food and drug administration deems food grade DE "gras", generally recognized as safe, for humans and animals.
Why Choose Diatomaceous Earth in Skin Care?
Natural Exfoliation
Diatomaceous Earth acts as a gentle exfoliant, effectively sloughing away dead skin cells without damaging or irritating the skin. It leaves skin smooth, clear, and radiant by removing impurities and unclogging pores.
Detoxifying Properties
With its ability to absorb oils and impurities, DE works wonders for detoxifying the skin. It draws out toxins, making it an excellent treatment for acne-prone skin or those looking to reduce excess oil and bacteria.
Rich in Silica
Silica is a crucial element in maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. It promotes collagen production, which is essential for keeping the skin firm and elastic. Regular use of DE-based skincare products can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and promote overall skin health. Silica supplementation has been linked to anecdotal reports of preventing wrinkles in people. Further testing is needed to determine if this is true.
Reducing Exposure to Chemicals
Switching to Diatomaceous Earth products helps minimize the chemicals you’re exposed to daily. Many conventional skincare products contain ingredients like parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives, which can irritate the skin and potentially lead to long-term health issues. Earthworks Health’s DE products are free of these chemicals, offering a safer and more natural approach to skincare.
Earthworks Health: Diatomaceous Earth Skin Care Products
Earthworks Health offers a variety of products that utilize the benefits of Diatomaceous Earth for healthy, glowing skin. Below are some of their standout offerings and their ingredients listed:
Diatomaceous Earth Soap
The Diatomaceous Earth Soap by Earthworks Health is an unscented, natural soap bar made with food-grade DE, goats milk, sodium cocoate (from coconut oil), sodium stearate, sorbitol, and activated charcoal. Each bar is meticulously crafted to cleanse, firm, and moisturize, providing a revitalizing skincare experience without the need for essential oils.
This eco-friendly bar soap fits easily into your soap dish and can be used on the face, neck, and body, and even as a shaving cream substitute. The goat’s milk helps restructure and moisturize the skin, while the activated charcoal draws out impurities for a natural, healthy glow. Free from harsh chemicals and detergents, it’s perfect for those with sensitive skin or anyone wanting to minimize their exposure to synthetic ingredients.
Diatomaceous Earth Shampoo & Body Bar
The Diatomaceous Earth Shampoo & Body Bar harnesses the absorbent and strengthening properties of DE and pink Himalayan salt to gently cleanse both hair and skin. Ideal for those with short or fine hair, this eco-friendly shampoo bar adds texture and body while minimizing the use of harsh chemicals.

The addition of rosemary oil extract, lavender, palmarosa, petitgrain, juniper berry, and organic tea tree essential oils gives this bar a refreshing earth aroma.
