Hydration:

The high hyaluronic acid content helps to deeply moisturize the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated.

Anti-Aging:

Snail slime is believed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to its regenerative properties.

Healing and Regeneration:

The combination of glycoproteins, glycolic acid, and allantoin promotes skin healing and regeneration, making it useful for treating scars, acne marks, and other skin imperfections.

Exfoliation:

Glycolic acid aids in gentle exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother complexion.

Anti-Inflammatory:

Allantoin and other components have soothing properties that can reduce inflammation and irritation, making it beneficial for sensitive skin.

The use of snail slime for treating skin conditions dates back to ancient Greece. Historical records suggest that Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, prescribed crushed snails and sour milk to reduce inflammation. Snail slime’s medicinal properties were recognised for their ability to promote healing and soothe skin irritations. This practice has persisted and evolved over centuries, eventually becoming more scientifically explored and commercialised in modern times for its purported benefits in skincare.

The Koreans have been using the benefits of snail mucin on their skin for decades and this trend is slowly making it’s way across the world.

Conclusion:

For over 2500 years, the use of snail slime to help treat skin conditions has been incorporated into the folklore of millions of people. My own grandmother remembers snail slime being used in the fields to treat cuts and injuries resulting from work accidents. Currently, scientists are working to develop a way to use snail mucin as a stitch to treat wounds. Decide for yourself; however, I have seen firsthand what the humble snail can do for skin.
