- Use a suspending structure to keep the powder evenly distributed.
- Avoid excessive high-shear processing after spicule addition if it may damage the spicule structure.
- Match dosage to spicule length and target skin tolerance.
- Include soothing and moisturizing ingredients to improve post-use comfort.
- Finished products should include patch-test guidance and clear use-frequency instructions.
- Avoid claims that imply medical microneedling, dermal injection, wound treatment, or guaranteed deep delivery.

Product Overview
Advanced Spicule Delivery Solution for Modern Cosmetic Formulations
NOYAIN® HS Hydrolyzed Sponge is a natural freshwater sponge-derived powder composed of microscopic siliceous spicules refined through advanced purification technology. In skincare formulas, these fine spicules provide a physical delivery and exfoliation mechanism: when the product is massaged onto the skin, the spicules interact with the stratum corneum, helping to create a stronger active-use experience while supporting smoother-looking skin and improved formula performance.
For formulators, the value of Hydrolyzed Sponge lies in its controllability. Long spicules create a stronger sensory signal for intensive or professional-positioned products, standard spicules provide a balance between efficacy signal and comfort, and short spicules support daily-use concepts with a milder skin feel. This makes the ingredient suitable for brands that want to build a complete spicule skincare range rather than a single hero SKU.
Hydrolyzed Sponge is nearly insoluble in water and oil, so it should be dispersed and suspended in a well-structured gel, serum, cream, or mask base. It can be paired with moisturizing, soothing, brightening, anti-aging, and pore-care active systems, allowing one delivery platform to support multiple product stories.
Skincare principles
Spicule Delivery Mechanism
Physical Surface Interaction
During massage, sponge spicules provide controlled physical contact with the stratum corneum. This creates a noticeable tingling sensation and supports temporary surface micro-pathways, helping the formula deliver a more active and differentiated consumer experience without relying on acid-based exfoliation.
Exfoliation and Texture Refinement
The fine spicules help loosen old surface keratin and support the removal of excess sebum and buildup through massage. This makes Hydrolyzed Sponge especially useful in formulas positioned for rough texture, dullness, visible pores, blackheads, and post-acne unevenness.
Active System Pairing
Hydrolyzed Sponge does not act as a single-function active. Its commercial value comes from pairing it with the right functional ingredients: niacinamide or glutathione for brightening concepts, peptides and moisturizers for anti-aging concepts, calming extracts for comfort-focused formulas, and pore-care ingredients for oily or blemish-prone skin concepts.
Adjustable Sensory Profile
Spicule length, purity grade, dosage, massage time, and base viscosity all influence the final skin feel. This gives formulators a practical way to design different product intensities, from gentle daily-care creams to stronger spicule serums and intensive masks.

Product's own advantages
Why Formulators Choose Hydrolyzed Sponge
Differentiated Consumer Experience
Hydrolyzed Sponge creates a clear use signal through controlled tingling and skin-feel transformation. This helps brands build products that feel active on application and stand out from conventional serum or cream textures.
Configurable Delivery Intensity
By selecting long, standard, or short spicules, formulators can tune penetration sensation, comfort, and product positioning. This supports tiered product lines for intensive care, balanced daily care, and mild entry-level concepts.
Broad Active Compatibility
The ingredient can be paired with brightening, anti-aging, moisturizing, soothing, and pore-care systems. It is especially useful when a brand wants to turn an existing active formula into a more experiential, delivery-focused product.
Physical Exfoliation Without Acid Positioning
Hydrolyzed Sponge helps refine rough surface texture through physical massage, offering an alternative for formulas that do not want to rely primarily on AHAs, BHAs, or strong exfoliating acids.
Strong K-Beauty Market Relevance
Spicule skincare has become a recognizable product format in Asian beauty markets, especially in serums, ampoules, pore-care products, and intensive masks. Hydrolyzed Sponge gives manufacturers a direct route into this trend.
Flexible Format Development
With proper suspension, Hydrolyzed Sponge can be used in gel serums, O/W creams, wash-off masks, leave-on masks, and color-coded functional mask ranges.
Suitable for the following applications
Recommended Applications
Spicule Serums
The primary format for Hydrolyzed Sponge. A structured gel serum can suspend the spicules evenly and deliver a clear tingling use signal for brightening, pore care, anti-aging, or renewal-positioned formulas.
Pore Care Products
Hydrolyzed Sponge supports physical exfoliation and massage-based pore cleansing, making it useful in products for blackheads, rough texture, and oily or congested skin appearance.
Brightening Formulas
Pair with niacinamide, glutathione, vitamin C derivatives, or other brightening systems to build a delivery-supported tone-improvement concept.
Anti-Aging Formulas
Pair with peptides, hydrating polymers, antioxidants, and barrier-support ingredients for firming, smoothing, and skin-renewal positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the primary function of Hydrolyzed Sponge in cosmetic formulations?Hydrolyzed Sponge is primarily used as a physical delivery and exfoliating support ingredient. In a finished formula, sponge spicules provide controlled skin-surface interaction during massage, creating a noticeable tingling use signal and supporting temporary surface micro-pathways. It is commonly used in spicule serums, creams, masks, pore-care products, and active delivery concepts.
- What dosage level is recommended for Hydrolyzed Sponge?Reference systems use approximately 0.1% to 2.0%, depending on spicule length, product format, massage method, and target sensory intensity. Short spicules and lower dosage levels are more suitable for daily-care concepts, while superconducting or long spicules and higher dosage levels create a stronger use signal. Final dosage should always be confirmed through irritation, stability, and consumer-use testing.
- How should Hydrolyzed Sponge be incorporated into a formula?Hydrolyzed Sponge is nearly insoluble in both water and oil, so it should be dispersed and suspended rather than dissolved. A stable gel network, emulsion viscosity, or suspending polymer system is needed to prevent settling. It is generally best added after the base structure is formed and mixed until evenly distributed.
- What is the difference between long, standard, and short spicules?Long spicules provide a stronger tingling sensation and are best suited to intensive or professional-positioned products. Standard spicules offer a more balanced profile for home-use serums, creams, and masks. Short spicules create a milder skin feel and are more suitable for daily-care positioning or users who prefer lower sensory intensity.
- Can Hydrolyzed Sponge be used for sensitive-skin products?It can be used in sensitive-skin-positioned formulas only with careful grade selection, low dosage, strong soothing support, and proper tolerance testing. Short spicule grades are generally more appropriate for a milder sensory profile. Finished products should recommend patch testing and should not be used on compromised, broken, sunburned, or actively irritated skin.
- Which ingredients pair well with Hydrolyzed Sponge?Hydrolyzed Sponge pairs well with soothing ingredients such as Centella asiatica extract, panthenol, oat extract, and peony root extract; moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid and glycerol glucoside; brightening ingredients such as niacinamide; and anti-aging ingredients such as peptides. The best pairing depends on the product concept and target skin concern.
