Abstract:
Zeolites, microporous aluminosilicates with tuneable physicochemical properties, have garnered increasing attention in dermatology due to their antimicrobial, detoxifying, and drug delivery capabilities. This review evaluates the structural characteristics, therapeutic mechanisms, and clinical applications of zeolites-including clinoptilolite, ZSM-5, ZIF-8, and silver/zinc-functionalized forms-across skin infections, wound healing, acne management, and cosmetic dermatology. Zeolites demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal efficacy, enhanced antioxidant activity, and biocompatible drug delivery in various dermatological models. Formulations such as silver-sulfadiazine-zeolite composites, Zn-clinoptilolite for acne, and zeolite-integrated microneedles offer innovative avenues for targeted therapy. Zeolite-based systems represent a promising shift toward multifunctional, localized dermatologic treatments. However, further research into long-term safety, formulation optimization, and clinical validation is essential to transition these materials into mainstream therapeutic use.
