WHAT IS DE - Diatomaceous Earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae that is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock thats easily crumbled into powder form. The powder has an abrasive feel, similar to pumice powder & is very light due to its high porosity.
