Zeolite Topical

🌿 Zeolite Paste (for bites, burns, and skin detox masks)

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons fine zeolite powder (Grade 1 or micronised)

  • Filtered or distilled water (or rose water / aloe juice if preferred)

  • Optional: a few drops of tea tree, lavender, or calendula essential oil

Method:

  1. Place the zeolite powder in a small glass or ceramic bowl (avoid metal — zeolite can bind metals).

  2. Slowly add water a few drops at a time, stirring with a wooden or plastic spoon until you get a smooth, thick paste.

  3. Adjust texture — add more water for a creamier consistency or more zeolite for a firmer one.

  4. Store in a small glass jar with a lid; it will last about a week refrigerated.

Use:
Apply directly to skin for bites, stings, rashes, minor burns, or as a mask.
Let it dry, then rinse off gently.

🌼 Zeolite Cream (for daily use or sensitive skin)

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons zeolite powder

  • 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel (or a light base cream)

  • 1 teaspoon jojoba oil or sweet almond oil

  • A few drops of vitamin E oil (optional preservative)

  • 2–3 drops lavender essential oil (optional fragrance)

Method:

  1. Mix aloe vera gel (or cream base) and oil together until smooth.

  2. Slowly add zeolite powder while stirring constantly until fully blended.

  3. Add optional vitamin E and essential oil.

  4. Store in a sterilised glass jar, preferably refrigerated for freshness.

Use:
Apply thinly to clean skin for burns, acne, inflammation, or general soothing.

⚠️ Notes & Precautions:

  • Always use cosmetic or food-grade zeolite (clinoptilolite type).

  • Avoid metal containers or spoons — zeolite binds heavy metals.

  • Perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin.

  • Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes.

  • If using long-term or on open wounds, consult a qualified practitioner.

Sunburn
Use zeolite cream to ease sunburn. It soothes the burned area, takes away the pain, draws out the heat, takes away the redness and prevents blistering. The zeolite helps to remove dead skin cells then helps to repair and rejuvenate the cells damaged by the sun.

Minor Burns
Burns can be treated in the same way as sunburn. Apply zeolite cream to the area, repeat if necessary.

Rashes
Zeolite cream does not soothe all rashes, it definitely soothes allergic reactions to cats but not all types of eczema or dermatitis so try a small area first. Apply to affected areas to soothe, calm and relieve itching. Repeat when necessary.

Bites and Stings
Zeolite paste stops the pain of severe bites like wasps and bull ants almost instantly. It also takes the itch out of mosquito and sandfly bites very quickly. Any other insect bites should also be helped by zeolite. Luckily we haven’t been able to test it yet on bee stings, spider bites and snake bites. Zeolite cream also works quickly on bites and stings but use zeolite paste for severe cases.

In tropical areas every insect bite has the potential to become a tropical ulcer. If you live in these areas, dab zeolite paste onto bites and the surrounding areas straight away to stop the itch and then leave it on individual bites until they have completely healed to prevent infection. When the dried paste falls off completely, reapply it. Alternatively, cover the paste with a band-aid to keep it in place and moist or use zeolite cream instead.

Wasp Stings
If you’ve been attacked by a swarm of wasps, cover the whole area with zeolite paste instead of covering individual bites as it’s difficult to pinpoint each sting over a large area. Relief is rapid. As the zeolite dries you will notice that the individual bites show up as wet spots because the zeolite takes longer to dry over these areas. If a second application is needed, just dab the paste onto each bite.

Tick Bites
Tick bites are a lot less painful when zeolite paste is applied as soon as the tick has been pulled out. The zeolite draws out the tick’s poison and helps to prevent infection. Reapply the paste until the pain goes, then use zeolite cream until the bite disappears.

Ant Bites
Apply a thick dob of zeolite paste to the bite and surrounding area.

Bumps and Sprains
Generously apply thick zeolite paste to the injury. When the paste dries, rinse it off and repeat if necessary. If the injury is swollen, say for example a sprained ankle or knee, cover the paste with a bandage to keep it moist longer.

Smelly Feet
Drink one glass of zeolite water every day for 2 or 3 days and the problem will go. If it reoccurs, drink zeolite water for a longer period. Also sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Grade 1 zeolite powder into smelly shoes, leave overnight then shake powder out. Soak smelly socks overnight in a strong solution of zeolite water then wash.

Chilblains
Before going to bed, apply Zeolite Cream to the chilblains. Repeat in the morning if the condition is severe. If chilblains are treated as soon as they occur the improvement is very quick.

Irritated or Inflamed Gums
Rinse mouth frequently with zeolite water until condition improves.

Toothache
Rinse mouth with zeolite water at the first sign of toothache, repeat frequently. For severe pain, cover the affected tooth with a thick dob of zeolite paste.

Leg Ulcer
The ulcer itself is not treated but the area immediately around the edge of the ulcer. The ulcer will start to shrink after a few days then continue treatments until the ulcer disappears.

To treat: Apply a fairly thick layer of zeolite paste onto the area around the edge of the ulcer, not on the ulcer itself. Remove zeolite when it is dry by sponging off with a clean wet cloth. Repeat frequently or at least twice per day.

Bed Sores
An elderly patient had bed sores which would not heal. The bed sores were successfully treated by sprinkling ultrafine zeolite onto them. I don’t know how frequently the zeolite powder was applied.
