ALEXCIOUS

Non-stick coaster with excellent water absorbency

Created entirely from an all-natural material that absorbs condensation very efficiently, but will not ‘stick’ to your glass when you pick it up!

A remarkable, all-natural product made from tiny fossilized water plants, Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a highly absorbent, quick-drying material that has extremely effective deodorizing properties. Available in four, 100% natural colors from both Akita and Ishikawa prefecture, Japan, DE is harvested and molded with nothing added.

Diatomaceous Earth:

Millions of years ago in the Earth’s oceans, microscopic single-celled plants called Diatoms took minerals from the water and created protective shells for themselves. When they died, they drifted to the ocean floor to eventually become vast deposits. Now part of dry land, these deposits known as Diatomaceous Earth are harvested, milled, and ground into a talc-like powder, before being molded to create soil products.

Certification mark

Since the quality of Diatomaceous Earth products made in Japan is generally better to compare to coarse products manufactured outside of Japan, a Japanese association relates to Diatomaceous Earth products has instituted a logo certification mark at 24th of Jan. 2018, to guarantee water absorption capacity as well as the content of Diatomaceous Earth.

This certification mark is only for qualified products from Japan. And all "soil" products sold in ALEXCIOUS are certified. No asbestos is mixed in.
