Zeolites
The volcanic stone that warms and enhances your skin
A fascinating volcanic origin
The word "zeolite" comes from the Greek zéō ("to boil") and líthos ("stone"). In 1756, mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt observed that this mineral released water vapor under the effect of heat. He thus named it " boiling stone ." A poetic name that perfectly illustrates the singularity of this active mineral.
Gentle warmth for the skin
Zeolites are naturally microporous volcanic minerals . When they come into contact with water—on your fingers or skin—they absorb the liquid through an absorption and ion exchange mechanism. This process triggers a mild exothermic reaction , generating gentle heat that helps open pores .
This entirely natural phenomenon provides the skin with ideal preparation for deep cleansing, without any aggression.
A mineral architecture that purifies
Their crystalline honeycomb structure gives them another remarkable power: that of trapping impurities, heavy metals, excess sebum and toxins, while releasing beneficial minerals.
As proof of their effectiveness, approximately 500,000 tons of clinoptilolite—a type of zeolite—were used after the Chernobyl disaster to capture certain radioactive contaminants in water and the environment. This exceptional absorption capacity is now being used for skin care.
Benefits for the skin
- Deep detoxification : captures pollutants and impurities responsible for dull complexion.
- Sebum regulation : absorption of excess fat, soothing of inflammation, skin rebalancing.
- Antioxidant protection : neutralization of oxidative stress and activation of natural defenses.
- Skin repair : support for healing mechanisms and improvement of skin comfort.
