The shape of sponge spicules is directly related to the species of marine algae. 001 is approximately 250um in length and 13um in diameter, with rounded ends. 010 is approximately 330um in length and 11um in diameter, with pointed ends. The effect of 010 is better than that of 001. Both have a purity of 99% and there are no other significant differences.

The mechanism of hydrolyzed sponge for physical rejuvenation is fundamentally different fromacid-based products (like fruit acids) that cause skin peeling through chemical exfoliation!
Hydrolyzed sponge works by opening millions of micro-channels in the skin, which accelerates thegrowth of basal layer cells. New skin is generated first, and within 3-4 days, the aged surfacekeratinocytes gradually shed.
Therefore, hydrolyzed sponge represents a healthy physical rejuvenation process characterized byregeneration first, followed by exfoliation.

The composition of hydrolyzed sponge is silica, a natural raw material with stable chemical andphysical properties. It is resistant to hot/cold processes and acidic/alkaline formulations.
The density of hydrolyzed sponge is slightly higher than water, so the formulation needs appropriateviscosity.
As the primary function of the spicules is to act as an absorption medium, high-speed homogenizationis recommended to be avoided.

The unique “hollow” structure of hydrolyzed sponge enables effective ingredient loading and capillaryaction within its micron-sized pores, significantly enhancing the absorption rate of active componentsin skincare products.

No,hydrolyzed sponge cannot be absorbed or dissolved by the body. It functions as a safe physicalpenetration enhancer and is naturally eliminated through the skin’s exfoliation process or foreign bodyreaction within 3 days.
