Natural Spongilla Lacustris Extract Powder 5:1 10:1 20:1 Ratio Extract Hydrolyzed Spongilla Powder Cosmetic Grade
HYDROLYZED SPONGILLA
POWDER (99% ULTRA-WHITE)
Hydrolyzed Spongilla Powder, also known as "Bio-Microneedles," is a high-purity natural silica spicule extracted from premium freshwater sponges (Spongilla Lacustris). Unlike chemical peels, this physical resurfacing agent utilizes micron-sized needle-like crystals to mechanically penetrate the stratum corneum, creating millions of micro-channels to facilitate the delivery of active ingredients. This process triggers the skin’s natural regenerative response, accelerating the metabolic cycle from 28 days to approximately 7 days. Our 99% ultra-white grade is free from organic residues, ensuring maximum stability and minimal irritation for high-end clinical skincare formulations.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
EVIDENCE & CERTIFICATES
1. Microscopic Integrity Verification
High-magnification SEM imaging confirms the sharp, needle-like structure of our silica spicules, ensuring effective mechanical penetration without organic sponge contamination.
2. Comprehensive COA Analysis
Batch-specific testing for spicule length distribution, ash content, and heavy metals ensures a consistent and safe clinical peeling experience.
3. Microbial Purity Standard
Medically-grade purification and high-temperature calcination result in a total plate count of < 100 cfu/g, far exceeding standard cosmetic requirements.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
99% Ultra-Pure White Grade
Our advanced purification removes 100% of organic sponge impurities. This results in a pure white powder that will not discolor finished creams or serums, and minimizes the risk of allergic reactions common in lower-grade "grey" extracts.
Optimal Spicule Integrity
Unlike lower-quality extracts where needles are broken during grinding, our process preserves the sharp, crystalline structure of the spicules. This ensures effective penetration into the dermis to activate cellular renewal.
Mechanical Delivery System
Acts as a natural "micro-needle" delivery vehicle. It creates millions of temporary micro-channels in the epidermis, increasing the absorption rate of targeted actives (vitamins, peptides, growth factors) by up to 100-fold.
Accelerated Skin Metabolism
Effectively shortens the skin renewal cycle. It promotes the natural shedding of old keratinocytes and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin without the systemic side effects of chemical acids.
FUNCTIONAL ROLES
1. Keratinocyte Management
Mechanically exfoliates dead skin cells and clears clogged pores, promoting a cleaner skin surface.
2. Dermal Activation
Stimulates microcirculation and triggers the wound-healing response to boost collagen and elastin production.
3. Texture Refining
Effectively minimizes the appearance of large pores, fine lines, and superficial acne scarring through mechanical resurfacing.
4. Pigment Correction
Accelerates the shedding of melanin-pigmented cells, promoting a more even and brighter skin tone.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
1. Bio-Peeling Creams & Serums
The primary active ingredient in professional-grade "Spicule Peels" for clinic or spa use.
2. Anti-Aging Treatments
Combined with peptides and growth factors to enhance deep-layer skin tightening and renewal.
3. Acne Management Systems
Used in masks or spot treatments to clear sebum plugs and refine skin texture for acne-prone skin.
4. Scalp Care Formulations
Applied in high-end scalp serums to improve follicle penetration and stimulate microcirculation for hair growth support.
TECHNICAL FAQ
Q1: Why do users feel a "tingling" or "pricking" sensation after application?
A: This is the intended mechanical effect. The 50μm-300μm silica spicules have penetrated the stratum corneum. This sensation typically lasts 24-48 hours and is a sign that the micro-channels are open and the skin's regenerative process has been activated.
Q2: What is the difference between your 99% White Grade and the 70% Grey Grade?
A: The 70% Grey Grade contains significant organic sponge residue (proteins and fats), which has an odor and can cause allergies. Our 99% White Grade is medically purified to remove all organic matter, resulting in an odorless, safe raw material.
Q3: Is this product compatible with high-concentration acids like AHA or BHA?
A: We recommend caution. Because Spongilla Powder significantly increases skin permeability, combining it with high-strength acids may cause excessive irritation. It is best used with soothing or hydrating actives like Hyaluronic Acid or Peptides.
