Diatomaceous Earth Drying Eggs, Set of 4 – Fridge Deodorizer | soil

Egg-shaped helpers that keep your fridge fresh

A set of four egg-shaped humidity regulators and deodorizers made of diatomaceous earth. Because they are shaped like eggs, they sit naturally in the egg tray of your refrigerator and never get in the way. They are almost odorless, so they will not add any scent of their own.

When they seem less effective, simply dry them in the sun and they work again, so you can use them over and over: eco-friendly and economical. With flat bottoms, they can also be placed anywhere else you want to absorb odors and moisture, such as shoe cupboards or closets. Charming enough to leave on display, they also make a lovely small gift.

They have passed Japanese food-hygiene testing, so even if particles of diatomaceous earth touch food, they are harmless.

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.
