Spongilla Spicules
INCI Name: Hydrolyzed Sponge
Sterilized, size-separated silica structures derived from the skeleton of freshwater sponges. These micro-spicules create temporary absorption pathways in the skin, then are naturally shed during the skin’s renewal process. They are not absorbed into the skin. Rather than acting as a conventional “active ingredient,” they function as a biological response-triggering tool.
