99% Hydrolyzed Sponge – white 201

Description

Cosmetic-grade sponge spicules are a natural ingredient extracted from freshwater sponges. Our freshwater sponges come from the Tibetan Plateau, known as the Roof of the World, where the superior natural environment creates COSMO’s industry-leading Spicule quality.The sponge spicules produced by COSMO range in length from 100 to 300 micrometers, allowing them to penetrate deeply into the stratum corneum and epidermis and activate the microcirculation of the epidermis and help deliver active ingredients deep into the skin.

Spongilla Powder Applications

Hydrolyzed Sponge Powder is well known for its outstanding efficacy in skincare. Extensive clinical evidence shows that the bone needle ingredient in Hydrolyzed Sponge Powder gently exfoliates dead skin cells, improves blood circulation and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin. Bone needles, when used as an osmotic stimulant in cosmetics, can significantly increase the absorption rate of active ingredients, thus, brightening the skin tone, eliminating inflammation, reducing hyperpigmentation, and treating acne occlusion.

Toxicological Data

Irritation Test

• Acute skin irritation test: No irritation
• Repeated skin irritation test: No irritation
• Acute eye irritation test: No irritation

Toxicity Test：Acute dermal toxicity test: LD50＞2500mg/kg, islightly toxic grade.

Skin Allergy Reaction Test: No skin allergy action

Skin Phototoxicity Test: No skin Phototoxicity

Skin Photoallergy Reaction Test: No skin Photoallergy reaction

Mammalian Cell Chromosome Aberration Test in Vitro: No mutagenicity observed

Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test: No mutagenicity observed.

Toxicokinetics Test:

• Absorption: Because its main chemical component, silicon element, is single and stable, spicule is almost not to be absorbed by the skin.
• Distribution: Mainly distributed in the epidermis.
• Metabolic: Due to its stable chemical structure, Spicule is not easily decomposed and transformed, and does not participate in human metabolism.
• Excretion: Staying on the epidermis for about 72 hours, it falls off as the dandruff falls off, and the shedding process accelerates with skin cleansing.
• Patch Test: Negative

Instructions for use

1. The more hydrolyzed sponges in the formula, the greater the tingling sensation on the skin.

2. The sponge microneedles should be stirred well after addition to the formula to ensure even dispersion throughout the formula.

3. If the formula contains glycerin or any type of glycol, the sponge microneedles should be mixed with the glycerin or glycol first to make them easier to disperse. The mixture is then added to the product and stirred to ensure even distribution.
