There's a company doing one based on plasma treated sheep's wool that looks good (if a little pricey).

Their pitch is that unlike other sheep wool based insulation theirs doesn't have issues with insects moving in, I guess the high heat means it's not edible and absorb water any more.

EDIT: Isolena in Austria is the company.

They seem to be one of the only ones whose insulation is purely wool and doesn't have a bunch of recycled plastic in it as well.

Heritage House has an (opinionated) article:

Edit 2: It's Plasma treated not heat treated.
