The unique physical character of spongilla spicules make it is possible to be extracted and purified. After many experiments and tests, our RD personnel extracted the spongilla spicules with purity of 50%, with color of very light brown. Compared with spongilla powder, we remove most of organics and reduce the most risk of skin infection, the 50% spongilla spicules are mixed with solution liquid (such as HA serum), used as mask to speed up horny to flake and cure the pimple, whiten skin and remove small fine wrinkles.

However, in modern cosmetics production, the extracts with higher purity will be easily accepted by manufacturer, thus to extract the higher purity spicule is imminent. In Hero, this kind of spongilla technology turn to be possible. In 2016 beginning, we extracted the spongilla spicules wth purity over 92% successfully, and the purity is up to 98%-99% if water removed. We removed organics and salts, it’s almost a single component, and can be used in most kind of cosmetics form such as powder, lotion, cream or liquid.
