Sponge Microneedles, also known as sponge spicules, are naturally derived microscopic structures obtained from marine sponges. Their unique needle-like structure makes them an innovative ingredient for advanced exfoliating, resurfacing, and skin-renewal formulations.

Unlike traditional topical exfoliants, sponge spicules provide a physical micro-exfoliating action when gently massaged onto the skin. This temporary stimulation of the skin’s surface can help improve the distribution and contact of other cosmetic ingredients while promoting a smoother, refreshed appearance.

Sponge Microneedles are especially well suited for facial treatments, resurfacing serums, masks, professional-style skincare, scalp treatments, and formulations designed for congested or uneven-looking skin.

Benefits & Formulation Uses

• Provides physical micro-exfoliation
• Helps promote smoother, more refined-looking skin
• Supports the appearance of renewed skin
• Helps improve the application and contact of cosmetic actives
• Useful in formulations for uneven texture and visible pores
• Suitable for clarifying and resurfacing formulations
• Creates a distinctive tingling or prickling sensation during and after application
• Can be incorporated into facial, body, and scalp formulations

Formulation Instructions

Add Sponge Microneedles during the final stage of formulation.

Do not homogenize after the spicules have been added, as high-shear processing may damage their delicate structure.

Avoid excessive heat during incorporation. Stir gently but thoroughly to distribute the spicules evenly throughout the finished formulation.

For formulas containing glycerin or glycols, the powder may first be dispersed into glycerin, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, or another compatible medium before being incorporated into the finished product.

Recommended Usage

Suggested Use Level: 0.1%–1.5%

The intensity of the prickling or tingling sensation generally increases as the concentration of sponge spicules increases. Formulators should begin at the lower end of the recommended range when developing new products.

Storage

Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and humidity.

Recommended Storage Temperature: 50°–77°F (10°–25°C)

Shelf Life: Up to 3 years from the date of manufacture when properly stored.

Important Formulation Note

For cosmetic formulation use only. Because sponge spicules create a physical exfoliating and stimulating effect, finished formulations should be appropriately tested for their intended use and concentration. Avoid use on broken, damaged, or highly irritated skin and avoid direct contact with the eyes.
