SPICULE-INSPIRED ILLUSTRATION
SPICULE 101 / A CLOSER LOOK
Discover the microscopic architecture behind spicule skincare—from its aquatic origins to the delivery designs that make this category so fascinating.
The story begins with aquatic sponges and the tiny mineral structures that support them. Refined for skincare, these structures become part of an entirely different treatment experience.
Discover the natural originTHE ORIGIN STORY / BEFORE THE FORMULA
THE NATURAL BEGINNING
Sponge-derived spicules begin in aquatic sponges—living animals found in marine and freshwater environments. Within each sponge, tiny mineral structures form an intricate natural support system. These structures are called spicules.
01 MARINE ENVIRONMENTS
From coral reefs to the seafloor, marine sponges form part of the ocean’s remarkable living architecture. Their silica spicules have inspired a new field of ingredient-delivery research.
02 FRESHWATER ENVIRONMENTS
The story continues in lakes, rivers, and streams. Freshwater sponges grow on submerged surfaces and also provide silica spicules used in advanced delivery research.
NATURE, IN MINIATURE
Spicules are part of a sponge’s mineral skeleton, with shapes and composition shaped by its species. The slender silica structures explored in skincare delivery bring nature’s microscopic engineering into focus.
Aquatic sponges provide the microscopic mineral structures known as spicules.
Isolation and purification prepare sponge-derived spicules for use in ingredient-delivery systems.
The prepared spicules are incorporated into formulations and specialized delivery designs.
A journey from natural architecture to formulation science—bringing structure, ingredients, and professional care together.
The ingredient behind the spicule story. Hydrolyzed Sponge appears in the ingredient information for the EXOMUNE Peeling Booster and Return10 MTS Solution, connecting their treatment formats to sponge-derived skincare.
Discover how each program combines its spicule ingredient with complementary formulas, textures, and professional care.

Inside the world of spicule technology.
01 TEMPORARY PATHWAYS
Sponge spicules create tiny, temporary pathways in the skin’s outer barrier. Delivery studies show how these pathways can improve the penetration of selected ingredients.
02 DELIVERY BY DESIGN
In specialized systems, spicules carry peptide- and growth-factor-containing complexes through surface coatings. Ingredient delivery becomes part of the structure itself.
03 GRADUAL SHEDDING
Over time, sponge spicules are gradually shed with the skin’s surface cells. This natural shedding is part of the post-treatment journey.
Spicule innovation also reaches inward. Engineered hollow spicules create internal routes for ingredient delivery, while porous designs can hold ingredient-carrying liposomes within their structure.
These approaches add another dimension to the science of carrying, releasing, and delivering ingredients.
At an even finer scale, researchers describe tiny gaps around spicules as a route for molecules to pass through the outer skin barrier.
This nanoscale perspective reveals why spicule technology is as much a delivery story as an exfoliation story.
CELLDRAW / Melapep Control Solution
Elevate the brightening story in your treatment room. CELLDRAW Melapep Control Solution brings together niacinamide, tranexamic acid, glutathione, and a peptide complex in professional backbar care focused on a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
Within the Melapep program, Control Solution provides follow-up complexion care after the initial Spicule Solution phase. A focused addition to your professional brightening menu.

Spicule treatments have a characteristic tingling or prickling sensation. Temporary redness, sensitivity, and flaking can occur. Your trained provider will tailor the program and aftercare to your skin.
Spicules gradually leave the surface skin layers through natural shedding. Peeling may be delicate or more visible. Follow your professional’s aftercare, protect with sunscreen, and let flaking skin release naturally. Contact your provider for significant or persistent irritation.
Melapep Control Solution is the collection’s dedicated brightening backbar treatment. Within the Melapep system, it follows the initial Spicule Solution phase to continue professional complexion care.
Explore EXOMUNE for its fresh-mix peeling format, Return10 for its spicule-and-ampoule pairing, and CELLDRAW Melapep Control Solution for brightening backbar care. Your professional will guide program selection, application, and aftercare.
