Common applications


Personal hygiene and cosmetics

Micronized clinoptilolite can be used as an absorbent in personal hygiene products and has potential applications in various cosmetic products. It is not harmful to the environment after disposal. It is used as a natural absorbent of moisture and unpleasant odors in products such as:

  • Personal hygiene
  • Cosmetics
  • 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:

  • Absorb sweat
  • Neutralize unpleasant odors
  • Improve hygiene in direct contact with the skin or inside footwear

It is also used as a support in the treatment of athlete’s foot, thanks to its ability to keep the environment dry.
