Vegan Spicules

Vegan Spicule is a synthetic micro-rod ingredient designed to mimic natural sponge spicules. It provides a vegan and sustainable alternative for cosmetic formulations. The microscopic rods create temporary micro-channels in the skin. These channels improve the penetration of active ingredients. They also help increase ingredient absorption and performance. Vegan Spicule supports gentle skin renewal and smoother skin texture. Its controlled particle size allows effective penetration with low irritation. The ingredient works well in anti-aging, resurfacing, and advanced delivery skincare formulas. Available Grades: Vegan Spicule 75, Vegan Spicule 150, Vegan Spicule 200.
