ImerCare 400D diatomaceous earth for deodorants and antiperspirants

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
