Snail Mucin

Snail mucin, also known as snail secretion filtrate, is a type of mucus that snails produce. It contains beneficial nutrients like hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, antimicrobial and copper peptides, and proteoglycans. These components are known for their hydrating, anti-aging, and skin repairing properties, making snail mucin a popular ingredient in Korean skincare products.

Yes, snail mucin skincare products are generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. However, as with any new skincare product, it's always best to perform a patch test first to ensure there's no allergic reaction.

The process of collecting snail mucin is safe and cruelty-free. Snails are gently stimulated to secrete the mucin, which is then filtered for use in skincare products. No harm comes to the snails during this process.

Snail mucin products can be incorporated in various steps of your skincare routine depending on the specific product. Serums and essences are typically applied after cleansing and toning, whereas snail mucin creams or lotions can be used as a moisturizer.

Regular use of snail mucin skincare products can lead to an improvement in skin texture, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhanced skin hydration. It can also aid in reducing inflammation and redness, promoting a more balanced and youthful complexion.
