Diatomaceous Earth Aroma Stone Tray | soil

A tray-shaped aroma stone for your favorite scent

Diatomaceous earth is porous, full of invisible tiny holes, so it holds fragrance beautifully. Add a few drops of essential oil or a spritz of perfume to this tray-shaped aroma stone and enjoy a gentle scent in your room. Its tray shape also makes it a pretty place to rest small accessories, such as soil’s fragrance earrings.

Choose from Mix, White, Orange and Green, colored with natural pigments.

About soil

soil was born from a collaboration between Isurugi, a plastering company in Kanazawa with more than 200 years of history, and the Tokyo design firm ASHCONCEPT. It turns diatomaceous earth, a classic Japanese wall material, into absorbent homewares. Diatomaceous earth is a natural material made from the fossilized shells of tiny plankton; it is full of microscopic pores, so it absorbs moisture quickly, releases it again and “breathes”. Each piece is made by hand by skilled plasterers, so there may be tiny individual differences, which do not affect quality.

Specifications

• Size: 100 × 120 × 20 mm (3.9 × 4.7 × 0.8 in)
• Material: diatomaceous earth from Akita with natural pigments
• Made in Japan

Care

• Oil or spray will darken the color temporarily; it returns to normal over time.
• Add just enough oil to moisten the spot. If you add more, check that it has been absorbed before adding again.
• Adding oil repeatedly to the same spot may create an oily film that is absorbed less easily.
• Diatomaceous earth can break. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impact.
• A small amount of fine powder may come off; this is natural for the material and not a defect.
• Colors may change slightly with use; this does not affect performance.
