✨ Description

Our Diatomaceous Earth (DE) under the Lumino label is sourced from one of the purest freshwater deposits in the United States, consisting of over 85% amorphous silica — the form of silica naturally found in plants and safe for both internal and external use.
Unlike darker or clay-heavy DE, this fine white powder is unheated, untreated, and chemical-free, ensuring its purity and effectiveness for people and animals alike.

Composed of fossilized remains of ancient diatoms, it works as a natural cleanser, mineral source, and pest control aid, prized for its gentle yet powerful ability to absorb and eliminate toxins, parasites, and odors.

✅ Food Grade (Human & Animal Safe)
✅ Unheated (Amorphous, not crystalline)
✅ Mined, milled, and bagged in the USA

Amorphous silica is soft and safe for ingestion — unlike crystalline silica, which forms when DE is heat-treated and can irritate lungs or skin.

• Keep out of eyes.
• Not for use on wet fur or surfaces.
• Ensure animals always have access to clean water when using DE internally.
