  • Feminine hygiene

Skin care (traditional use)

In some countries, such as Cuba, miners observed that zeolite helped improve the healing of minor cuts and skin abrasions.

There are also publications suggesting potential applications for skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema, although there are no conclusive clinical studies to definitively confirm this.

Foot care and odor control

Another common application of micronized zeolite is foot care. Thanks to its high absorption capacity, zeolite helps to:
