Our Story

In March 2001, our owner was first introduced to industrial  minerals and Diatomaceous Earth (DE).  Traditionally DE has been processed and calcined in high temperature kilns for filtration purposes and filler applications.

As we dug in and continued our research, we found that DE's uses went far beyond industrial applications and a high purity all natural DE could be used for many household uses. 

After acquainting ourselves with many of its applications, from health supplement to bedbug treatment, we realized that DE was a product that represented our values: health, utility, and the environment.

This became an opportunity to provide something to make people's lives easier, healthier, and better. We noticed that there was only a handful of companies that sold DE, selling it on a small scale, typically in plastic bags, without labels, and sometimes with poor results. We saw that many people were eager to try using an all natural DE, but struggled to find a positive buying experience or reliable source. This was a central part of what inspired DiatomaceousEarth.com.

We set ourselves apart by the quality of our products and environmental packaging. We have worked hard over the past few years to put together the largest online resource for learning about diatomaceous earth anywhere. Our goal is to create an intuitive online experience that changes the way people buy and experience a high purity all natural DE.
