Fossil Shell Flour is a naturally occurring mineral ingredient derived from food-grade freshwater diatomaceous earth, processed into a fine, production-ready powder suitable for commercial manufacturing applications.

Commonly referred to as Diatomaceous Earth (DE), Fossil Shell Flour is formed from fossilised freshwater diatoms and is valued for its naturally occurring amorphous silica content and trace mineral profile. It is widely used across mineral wellness, digestive support, and functional nutrition categories due to its strong compatibility with both capsule and powder formulation systems. This ingredient is commonly incorporated into mineral-based wellness products, silica-focused formulations, digestive wellness blends, detox-style product ranges, and clean-label nutritional systems. Its versatility supports both standalone mineral products and multi-ingredient formulation development.

Available for use in capsule filling, powder blending, tubs, and private label manufacturing projects, Fossil Shell Flour forms part of our standard ingredient range for ongoing commercial production.

Ingredient Functionality

Fossil Shell Flour is a naturally occurring mineral ingredient valued for its high silica content and broad formulation compatibility. Processed into a fine manufacturing-grade powder, it is commonly used in mineral wellness products, silica-focused formulations, digestive blends, and functional nutrition applications.

Its consistent particle size and stable mineral profile make it suitable for scalable production across both capsule and powder manufacturing systems, supporting integration into simple formulations or more complex multi-ingredient systems.

Fossil Shell Flour is supplied in a format suitable for direct use in:

  • Capsule manufacturing (vegan and gelatin)
  • Single-ingredient mineral capsule products
