Sponge Spicule – Natural Microneedle Technology

The power of natural micro-needles for high-performance skincare!
Sponge Spicules (INCI: Hydrolyzed Sponge) are derived from sustainably cultivated freshwater sponges. They penetrate the stratum corneum and create fine micro‑channels that support the penetration of topical ingredients. As they are naturally shed within 2–3 days through regular desquamation, they provide gentle skin stimulation. The result is an improved delivery profile and a smoother, revitalized complexion.
