Getting Started
What is WHIPPEDEARTH®?
WHIPPEDEARTH is a fragrance-free, minimal-ingredient micro polish for breakout-prone skin. It uses diatomaceous earth with supporting minerals and humectants to help lift pore-blocking buildup while keeping skin comfortable.
Is it safe for teens?
Yes. WHIPPEDEARTH is designed for adults and teens. Start slowly and follow the directions below.
What skin types can use it?
Most normal, combination, and oily skin types. If your skin is sensitive, start slow and patch test first. Avoid use on broken or very irritated skin.
Is it fragrance free?
Yes. We don't use any fragrance in our formulations.
How to use WHIPPEDEARTH®
What is the correct way to use it?
We recommend the short-contact method:
- Spot treatment
1. Apply a small blob over the breakout and let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes (longer if you wish).
2. Rinse with warm water using your BUFF-PUFF™ wash pad.
3. Follow with a gentle, water-based cleanser.
How often: You can spot treat as often as you wish.
- Full-face treatment
1. Spread a thin, even layer over your face.
2. Let it dry thoroughly, then rinse with warm water using your BUFF-PUFF wash pad.
3. Follow with a gentle, water-based cleanser and your preferred moisturiser.
How often: Up to three times a week.
How much should I use?
Spot: a small blob to fully cover the area.
Full face: a thin layer. More product does not mean better results.
Can I use it with other actives?
Yes, with care. A few easy rules:
- Pair with niacinamide or azelaic acid on alternate nights if your skin is comfortable.
- If you use a strong exfoliant elsewhere, do not stack strong exfoliants in the same session.
- If you add retinoids or benzoyl peroxide in your routine, introduce them on different nights.
Where in my routine does it go?
Cleanse → WHIPPEDEARTH (short-contact step) → Rinse → Gentle cleanser → Moisturiser → Mineral sunscreen in the day.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Many people choose gentle, minimal routines at this time. Because needs vary, please check with your health professional.
Results, timeline, and troubleshooting
When will I see results?
Many people notice skin looks clearer within 2 to 4 weeks. Give your routine 8 to 12 weeks for a fair test.
Will I purge?
Short-contact, rinse-off steps are less likely to cause purging. If you notice small breakouts where you usually break out, this may settle in a few weeks. Burning, stinging, or new breakouts in unusual areas usually signal irritation. Reduce frequency or pause and moisturise.
What if my skin feels tight or looks flaky?
You might be over-exfoliating. Reduce to once weekly full-face, keep spot use as needed, and add a plain moisturiser for 3 to 7 days. Reintroduce slowly.
It is not doing much yet. What now?
Check the basics: consistency, contact time, and keeping other steps gentle. Consider pairing your routine with niacinamide or azelaic acid on alternate nights, and stay the course for 8 to 12 weeks.
Ingredients and formulation
What is inside WHIPPEDEARTH?
A focused blend centred on diatomaceous earth (ultra-fine mineral polish), with support from kaolin and bentonite clays for oil control, sugar-based humectants (such as Saccharide Isomerate and Biosaccharide Gum-1) for comfort, bamboo charcoal for impurity binding, and magnesium sulfate. See the full INCI on the WHIPPEDEARTH® product page.
Does it contain plastic microbeads?
No. The polish uses mineral micro-particles, not plastic beads.
Is it vegan or cruelty free?
We are cruelty free. For specific dietary preferences, check the full INCI and reach out to us if you have questions.
Does it have essential oils?
There are no essential oils in WHIPPEDEARTH®. Please refer to the full INCI if you avoid specific ingredients.
What about allergens?
Always review the ingredients and patch test if you are sensitive. If irritation occurs, discontinue and consult a professional.
Teen, sensitive, and special situations
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Many sensitive users do well with the short-contact method. Start with spot use, then try a thin, full-face layer once weekly, increasing as comfortable.
Can teens use it before sport?
Avoid using WHIPPEDEARTH® before exercise. During sport, perspiration, body heat, and helmet or mask friction can raise the risk of irritation and may carry product into the eyes. Apply it after training on clean, cool skin for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse and cleanse.
Can I use it on body breakouts?
Yes. Use the same short-contact method. Patch test first on a small area.
Can I use it near the eyes or on broken skin?
Avoid the eye area and do not apply to broken, sunburnt, or freshly shaved skin.
Orders and support
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, a 30-day results guarantee. If you are not happy, reach out and we will make it right. See details on our Returns page.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes we ship globally. You can check shipping rates on our Shipping page
How long will one tube last?
It depends on how you use it. Spot treatment lasts longer; full-face twice weekly uses more. As a rough guide, plan for several weeks to a few months of use.

Still deciding..?
How does WHIPPEDEARTH compare to gritty scrubs?
Gritty scrubs can feel harsh. WHIPPEDEARTH uses ultra-fine mineral polish plus clays and humectants for a smoother, short-contact approach.
Can I build a full routine around it?
Yes. Keep it simple: Cleanse → WHIPPEDEARTH (short-contact) → Rinse → Gentle cleanser → Moisturiser → Mineral sunscreen
