Zeolite
What Zeolite is & what it does
A porous mineral that absorbs oil and impurities and helps detoxify and mattify skin. It also lends a soft texture.
What does Zeolite do in skincare?
Zeolite is a porous mineral used as an absorbent and texture agent. In skincare and sunscreen formulas it can help absorb oil and moisture, contribute to a matte finish, and act as a bulking or anticaking agent.
Is Zeolite safe?
Zeolite is a naturally occurring aluminosilicate mineral that is widely used in cosmetics and generally considered safe for topical use. It works physically as an absorbent rather than chemically, so it is typically well tolerated on skin.
Is Zeolite natural or synthetic?
Zeolite can be either. Some zeolites are mined natural minerals, while others are manufactured synthetically to achieve consistent structure and purity, so the source depends on the specific grade a brand uses.
