Functions
Absorbent
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Nourishes & Protects
Traditional Use
Zeolites are microporous minerals whose use in skincare is primarily modern, developed in the 20th century for their oil-absorption and detoxifying properties. Zeolites have been used industrially since the 1950s and were later incorporated into cosmetics for acne treatment and skin purification.
