What‘s Sponge Spicule?
Enzymatic-based refining process without chemical solvents.
All processes comply with ISO 9001.

Sponge spicules (INCI Name: Hydrolyzed Sponge) sound like a high-tech lab creation, but they’re actually naturally found in freshwater sponges. These tiny, needle-like structures are the sponge’s “skeleton,” helping it anchor and support itself on the seafloor.
Why Spicule Is a Game Changer
3000% ↑
Delivery of Hyaluronic Acid
100000% ↑
Delivery of siRNA
300,000+ Dal
Delivery of Exosomes
Sponge spicules excel at boosting active ingredient penetration. Experimental data demonstrates that spicule-mediated active ingredient delivery significantly outperforms alternative technologies.
- +3000% hyaluronic acid delivery vs roller microneedles
- siRNA absorption 1000× higher than passive absorption
- Supports exosome payloads up to 300,000 Da

How Spicules work
Four core mechanisms of sponge spicules.
1. Accelerate Skin Metabolism
2. Enhance Epidermal Permeation
3. Activate Skin Self-Repair
4. Non-Invasive Cellular Regeneration
