💡 Tip: When is the best time to use it?

Dogs often immediately lick freshly treated areas.

Therefore, we recommend applying the powder after a walk or in the evening before bedtime . Your dog will usually be more relaxed then and will be more likely to leave the area alone, allowing the powder to work better.

You can also prevent the area from being licked again by providing a short distraction (e.g. a chew bone, treat) or light protection (e.g. a bandage, dog shirt, or cotton cloth) .

Applications for cats

Cats have very sensitive skin – and a particularly sensitive nose. Our Zeolite Skin Powder with organic lavender oil was deliberately developed without artificial fragrances, so that it is well tolerated even by sensitive cats. It is purely natural, gentle to use, and has a soothing effect on various skin issues.

✅ Typical areas of application for cats:

• After tick bites or insect bites
• Minor scratches and scrapes from playing or fighting
• Licking certain areas (e.g. belly, paws, back)
• Skin irritations due to food intolerances
• Moist or reddened areas between the toes
• Irritation in the chin area (e.g. from contact points from the food bowl)
  

Special tips for cat owners:

😽 Less is more:

Cats are very sensitive to smells. Use the powder sparingly , especially the first time. The subtle lavender scent is usually well-received—but test it carefully.

🛏️ The right time:

It's best to apply the powder when your cat is tired or relaxed —for example, after eating or while cuddling. This allows you to treat the area in peace.

👅 If your cat licks:

Licking small amounts is harmless. However, observe the area after application . If necessary, you can temporarily prevent licking with distractions (e.g., games, treats) or a thin fabric (e.g., cotton fabric).

🐱 Mites in cats – and how skin powder can help

🕷️ What are mites anyway?

Mites are microscopic parasites that nest in the skin or ears of cats. Common mite species in cats include:

• Ear mites (Otodectes cynotis)
  
• Mange mites (Notoedres cati – very contagious!)
  
• Hair follicle mites (Demodex – rare, usually in cases of weakened immune systems)
  

How can skin powder help?

The skin powder does not replace mite treatment , but it can be used in conjunction with:

to soothe irritated or reddened skin

to keep weeping or itchy areas dry

to support the healing process when the skin is injured by scratching

To bind odors that can arise from weeping skin

make the environment more unpleasant for mites (lavender scent can bother them)

🕷️ How can zeolite help against mites?

Zeolite is a natural mineral with a very high surface area and ion-exchange-capable, crystalline structure . This results in several possible effects related to mite infestation:

✅ 1. Drying effect on mites and their larvae

Zeolite can bind moisture – even directly on the skin. This drying effect can significantly worsen the mite environment on the skin, as many mite species (e.g., ear mites, mange mites) require a warm, moist environment to reproduce.

🧪 In vitro studies have shown that microscopic particles such as zeolite and diatomaceous earth attack the protective covering (cuticle) of parasites such as mites , causing them to dry out. This is a well-known principle, especially in the environment (e.g., in blankets, baskets, and stables).

✅ 2. Moisture binding on the skin = less skin irritation

When the skin is wet or sore, mites feel particularly comfortable there. Zeolite keeps the affected areas dry , which also breaks the itch cycle : less scratching = fewer micro-injuries = fewer entry points for parasites.

✅ 3. Binding of pollutants = supporting skin regeneration

Zeolite binds ammonia, histamine, and other substances that play a role in inflammatory reactions. This facilitates skin regeneration , which also contributes to the skin's natural defense function —an important factor in mite infestation.

❗ Important for classification:

🔬 There are currently no clinical studies that prove that zeolite alone reliably kills mites in animals .

But: The effect as accompanying care , for environmental deterioration , itching relief and moisture control is logically understandable and is also appreciated in practice by pet owners .

How to use the powder correctly:

• Part the fur carefully so that the affected area of ​​skin is clearly visible.
  
• Apply powder directly from the powder container or spread it with a soft brush/in small doses by hand.
  
• Apply a thin layer – it should lightly cover the area, but not plaster it over.
  
• Don't massage it in , just leave it on. The zeolite takes effect through contact with the skin.

Apply 1–2 times daily

Our skin powder can be used on dogs, cats, horses, and small animals . It is particularly well tolerated – even by sensitive skin.

Yes! The powder is excellent for helping with hot spots, sweet itch, chafing, oozing skin, and insect bites . It dries the affected area, absorbs odors, and soothes the skin.

Lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) was used as a medicinal plant from early times. Patricians and noble Roman city dwellers added lavender herb to their bathwater. The name Lavandula is believed to derive from the Latin lavare (to wash) or levare (to relieve, to ward off). Hildegard von Bingen also recommended lavender oil. The main substances in lavender oil listed in the literature are linalyl acetate, camphor, cineole, and linalool. Lavender smells pleasant to humans, and its fragrance is clearly perceptible. It has a calming effect on the nerves and repels insects.

No. The product contains only high-quality clinoptilolite zeolite and genuine organic lavender oil . It is free of synthetic additives, perfumes, and preservatives .

Our zeolite skin powder has a shelf life of at least 2 years , and if stored in a cool, dry place and always resealed, it can last even longer.

This is harmless in small amounts. The zeolite it contains is also used internally. Nevertheless, we recommend applying the powder in such a way that it adheres well to the skin and is not immediately licked off. That's where it's supposed to work.

Yes, of course. Simply sprinkle it on the grazes and apply it like you would with animals.

AND here are additional examples of human use:

• As foot powder in summer - between the toes (many use it for fungal infections)
• Powder your shoes - removes the smell
  Natural deodorant - sprinkle on the back of your hand and gently apply to your armpit (absorbs odors)

What is clinoptilolite zeolite?

Yes, there is.

Wound treatment and healing is one of the best-researched applications for zeolite:

• Laboratory studies show that clinoptilolite zeolite can absorb wound exudate and bind bacteria and toxins. In vitro experiments, for example, have shown that zeolite can adsorb not only microorganisms but also bacterial toxins and odor-producing molecules. Animal studies on rodents have shown that clinoptilolite-containing preparations can promote wound healing . For example, in a rat model of burn wounds, zeolite-containing hydrogel layers accelerated healing compared to untreated controls (faster re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, etc.).
  
• Initial clinical studies indicate that zeolite is safe and well-tolerated in wound treatment. In a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled phase I study on 12 healthy volunteers with artificially created skin wounds, topically purified clinoptilolite tuff (a nearly pure clinoptilolite zeolite in powder form) was compared with standard therapy (NaCl irrigation + dressing).
  
  Results: Zeolite treatment proved to be safe and well-tolerated , with no significant differences in wound healing time or quality compared to standard treatment. However, some histological differences were found: Significantly more macrophages and fewer myofibroblastic cells were detectable in zeolite-treated wounds. Tiny zeolite particles were occasionally detected in the newly formed dermal tissue, without interfering with healing or causing clinical symptoms.
  
  The authors conclude that purified clinoptilolite could be a cost-effective, safe wound therapeutic that supports the healing process. A previous observational study of 33 patients with chronic or infected wounds (mixed acute and chronic) also reported positive trends: The use of clinoptilolite wound powder over several weeks demonstrated a reduction in microbial load and improved wound healing compared to baseline findings. Due to the small sample size, statistical significance was limited, but an antimicrobial effect of the zeolite powder was suspected. Overall, the zeolite powder was well tolerated in this study, with no relevant side effects; a favorable local tolerability profile and few side effects were noted.
