Sponges are considered among the oldest animals on Earth, with fossil evidence dating back approximately 800 million years.

• Spicules are bio-silica that form a sponge-like skeleton and were first used in cosmetics in Germany in the 1960s.

• Spicules are needle-shaped, 100–300 μm (micrometers) in size, and create tiny holes in the skin, promoting skin cell regeneration.

• The first generation spicules were used to exfoliate, while the second generation spicules were used to promote the absorption of active ingredients.
