Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
INCI nomenclature, freshwater vs. marine sponge origins, and patent legal status definitions
How are sponge spicules listed on cosmetic ingredient labels (INCI)?
In the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary (ICID), refined sponge spicules are most commonly listed under the standard INCI name HYDROLYZED SPONGE (CAS 68607-23-8), and occasionally under SPONGE.
What is the difference between freshwater (Spongilla lacustris) and marine (Haliclona sp.) spicules?
Freshwater sponges (Spongilla lacustris, Ephydatia fluviatilis) and marine sponges (Haliclona sp.) belong to distinct biological taxa with different needle dimensions and purification requirements; literature records should always be reviewed by specific sponge origin.
