Introducing Cashew Apple Pro – A Novel Botanical Extract with Impact
February 11, 2026We’re pleased to introduce Cetpro® HLS (Hydrolysed Sponge) - an innovative, protein-derived cosmetic ingredient designed to elevate performance in next-generation skincare formulations.
Derived from natural sponge material and processed through hydrolysis, Cetpro® HLS offers multifunctional benefits including exfoliation, skin renewal, and boosting collagen production, while contributing to improved product texture and sensorial performance.
With approximately 5 million microscopic spicules per gram, this ingredient delivers measurable functional activity in finished formulations.
Key formulation advantages:
- Gentle Exfoliation - Microscopic spicules provide effective yet gentle exfoliation, helping remove dead skin cells and impurities while improving surface smoothness and radiance.
- Stimulates Collagen - Spongilla spicules have been documented to stimulate collagen production, promoting skin firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhanced Elasticity - Regular use of this powder helps improve skin elasticity, contributing to a more youthful and supple complexion.
- Increased Adsorption - The presence of Spongilla spicules aids in the absorption of other skincare products, maximising their efficacy.
- Accelerated Skin Renewal - Promotes the shedding of old skin cells, the powder helps accelerate the natural skin renewal process, leaving the skin looking revitalised.
- Tone Brightening - Exfoliating action assists in reducing the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone.
- Pore Cleansing - Helps clear congested pores, reducing the occurrence of blackheads and breakouts.
- Non-Irritating - Despite its exfoliating properties, the finely milled spicules are non-abrasive, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
Cetpro® HLS is ideal for incorporation into exfoliating treatments, resurfacing serums, masks, and advanced renewal systems where both efficacy and sensory quality are key.
