ImerCare® 400D
Exceptional absorbency with odour control
- High absorbency
- Body odour control
- Nude skin sensation
ImerCare 400D diatomaceous earth is the most water- and oil-absorbent product available on the market today, making it a highly effective absorption agent in deodorants and antiperspirants, and used in applications including skincare, make-up and personal hygiene.
This exceptional absorbency power is due to the exceedingly high surface area of the mineral particles, a result of the unique morphology of our deposits from which this specific diatomaceous earth product is mined.
In tests, micro-porous ImerCare 400D diatomaceous earth:
- Demonstrates high perspiration absorbency for body odour control
- Controls body odour
- Dries quickly leaving a nude skin sensation
- Gives a pleasant soft touch feel
All our cosmetic products are natural, high-quality, chemically inert and offer good skin tolerance. They are not treated with chemicals during processing. These attributes enable them to be used in cosmetic products that comply with cosmetic directive regulation (EC) n° 1223/2009.
ImerCare 400 D is also Cosmos approved. Certificates of origin and additional documentation are available upon request.
