Are You Familiar With Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules?

Hydrolyzed sponge spicules, also known as sponge spicules, sponge microneedles, diatom spicules, sponge collagen, and algae peeling, are natural protein compounds extracted from sponges. They possess various physiological activities and are derived from the hydrolysis of natural sponges. Due to the unique growth environment of these sponges, hydrolyzed sponges gradually develop specialized structures called sponge spicules. These are small, yet highly rigid, siliceous spicules composed of scleroprotein and heteronuclear scleroprotein. These sponge-like spicules are hollow in the middle and at both ends, with holes along the spicules. They penetrate the skin like straws, forming countless channels. While replenishing collagen, they also stimulate collagen regeneration, increase metabolism, and enhance the absorption of subsequent skincare products, reducing melanin and brightening the skin tone to combat aging.

​​​​​​​Mechanism of Action of Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules

Currently, Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules are primarily used in skincare products to enhance penetration. Furthermore, their medical applications are even more significant.

Main Methods of Transdermal Absorption

Physical Permeation Enhancement: Increases drug penetration efficiency by opening or weakening the skin barrier through external forces. These include thermal (laser radiofrequency), electrical (electroporation, iontophoresis), and mechanical (microneedle) methods.

Chemical Permeation Enhancement: Formulated through techniques (encapsulation, microemulsion); (penetration enhancers)—primarily by affecting intercellular lipids and their fluidity, promoting transdermal absorption of active ingredients.

Physical + Chemical: Sponge spikes require external force (massage techniques/electric massage tools) and are chemically extracted from natural sponges.

Mechanism of Action

Through massage (manual or electric), a minimally invasive process creates numerous microchannels on the skin's surface. A total of 850 ± 125 microchannels with a depth of 48.61 ± 3.5 microns can be formed per square millimeter of skin surface. These microchannels persist for over 72 hours, continuously opening the skin channels and allowing for wide-area application. They are used to physically enhance skin penetration and effectively promote transdermal absorption of a range of active ingredients and macromolecules.

Steps of Action

① The bone spicules penetrate deep into the epidermis and stratum corneum, opening skin channels and penetrating deep into the skin's depths;

② They penetrate deep into hair follicles, absorbing and removing oil that clogs pores;

③ They activate the skin's microcirculation mechanism, stimulating skin cell activation;

④ They accelerate skin metabolism and naturally shed aged keratin.

Main Benefits of Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules

The spicules supporting the sponge are tiny, terminated in micrometer-sized spikes that pierce the skin, creating tiny channels and promoting the absorption of topical ingredients.

Promotes Skin Metabolism

The hydrolyzed sponge's unique structure penetrates the skin's surface, penetrating deep into the stratum corneum and epidermis. This process not only stimulates skin microcirculation but also accelerates the natural exfoliation of dead skin cells. This improves dull, dry skin, gradually brightening and radiant the complexion. Even better, the hydrolyzed sponge stimulates skin metabolism, helping to eliminate toxins and waste, maintaining healthy skin.

Improve Acne Problems

The hydrolyzed sponge's unique structure penetrates deep into the skin's depths, stimulating microcirculation and effectively improving acne. Acne is often caused by factors such as an excessively thick stratum corneum and clogged pores, and the hydrolyzed sponge is effective in addressing these issues. By promoting skin metabolism and detoxifying, the hydrolyzed sponge helps restore skin health and gradually resolve acne.

Rejuvenates, Whitens, and Lightens Spots

The hydrolyzed sponge effectively penetrates the stratum corneum, accelerating the shedding of dead skin cells while stimulating the regeneration of healthy cells. This effectively opens the skin's absorption channels, allowing nutrients to quickly penetrate the fascia layer, stimulating cell division and regeneration for 72 hours. This improves acne scars, acne marks, enlarged pores, and dullness. It also reduces closed comedones, dryness, roughness, and fine lines, improving skin elasticity and firmness. Combined with various regenerative factors, it also promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the dermis, further improving skin texture.

Moisturizing and Repairing

Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules are rich in polysaccharides, collagen, and amino acids. They not only absorb and lock in moisture, forming a moisturizing barrier to effectively prevent moisture loss, but also keep skin hydrated and firm, improving dryness and roughness, even after using skincare products containing hydrolyzed sponges. They also help repair damaged skin tissue, promote cell regeneration and healing, and accelerate the wound healing process. Their antioxidant properties reduce free radical damage, further repairing skin damage and restoring skin health.

Antioxidant and Anti-Aging

The polysaccharides rich in hydrolyzed sponges stimulate collagen synthesis, helping to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and make skin firmer and more youthful. Furthermore, hydrolyzed sponges can balance skin oil production, reducing skin problems caused by excess oil and delaying aging.

Differences Between Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules and Traditional Microneedling​​​​​​​

While both Hydrolyzed Sponge Spicules and traditional microneedling aim to stimulate skin regeneration by creating microinjuries, there are significant differences in their mechanisms, experience, and effectiveness. Traditional microneedling typically uses solid needles made of metal or silicone, ranging in length from 0.5 to 2.5 mm, capable of penetrating directly into the epidermis and dermis. This invasive procedure is often accompanied by significant pain, redness, and swelling, and a 3-7 day recovery period. It must be performed by a qualified professional under a sterile environment to avoid infection.

In comparison, Sponge Spicules offer significant advantages: First, its microneedles are made of soluble biomaterial and naturally dissolve within a few hours after application, leaving no residue. Second, the treatment depth is limited to the stratum corneum and part of the epidermis, causing virtually no bleeding or significant pain. Most importantly, Sponge Spicules are simple to use and can be safely used at home with proper guidance. According to a comparative study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2023, continuous use of sponge microneedles for 8 weeks is equivalent to one professional traditional microneedle treatment in improving fine lines, skin texture and mild pigmentation, while the incidence of side effects is nearly 80% lower.
