Benefits of Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, soft sedimentary rock. It can be easily crumbled and is usually 80-90% silica, which is the major constituent of sand. It is mined extensively for use as a filtration aid, but is also used as a mild abrasive in cleaning products. Including toothpastes, an insecticide and a stabilising component of explosives.
An additional usage of diatomaceous earth is for deodorising unpleasant smells. The porous structure means that it absorbs bad odours. This gives rise to its use in deodorants, as a natural, chemical-free way of eliminating body odour. As described here, deodorants minimise odour, without reducing sweat production, meaning they do not contain aluminium. Many women make the choice to avoid aluminium-containing products. However, using a deodorant that contains natural ingredients and no chemicals is one way of doing that.
Advantages of using Diatomaceous earth
The advantage to using diatomaceous earth is that it is close to pH neutral, so it very unlikely to irritate sensitive skin. Women who have undergone chemotherapy are particularly prone to dry, painful skin. Therefore, should look for cosmetic products that will not only provide soothing relief, but also avoid aggravating the condition further. The Ozalys Smoothing Care Deodorant Cream contains moisturising ingredients as well as diatomaceous earth. This will soothe skin that is already inflamed, without contributing further to the problem.
