The products contain 100% all natural zeolite blends. Natural volcanic zeolite is a mineral consisting of silica and alumina. There are large deposits of volcanic zeolite minerals found in the western United States. Natural zeolites have a unique interconnecting lattice structure. This lattice structure is arranged to form a honeycomb framework of consistent diameter interconnecting channels and pores. Negatively charged alumina and neutrally charged silica tetrahedra building blocks are stacked to produce the open three dimensional honeycomb framework. Zeolites attract positively charged moisture, odors and gas molecues and trap them in its crystaline structure. Natural zeolites are formed from the altered volcanic ash. Zeolites have the ability to adsorb and desorb water, odor and gas molecules without any chemical or physical change in the zeolite itself. The material can encompass and control many times its weight in odors or moisture. Zeolites are safe, inert, stable, non-toxic and non-corrosive.

The process by which zeolites attract and trap moisture, odors and gases is called adsorption. Absorption (with a B) is a mechanical process - for example, a dry sponge responding to water by expanding and holding the water. Adsorption (with a D) is the electrical process (ionic) of opposite electrical ions attracted to and clinging to each other.
