Description
Snail mucin is a powerful skincare ingredient known for its hydrating, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties, and it is used in what are commonly referred to as snail cosmetics. It deeply moisturises the skin, helping to restore and strengthen the skin barrier. Its rich content of allantoin and glycolic acid promotes skin regeneration, speeding up the healing of damaged cells. Additionally, snail mucin’s anti-inflammatory effects soothe irritation, reducing the urge to itch and reducing redness, while its antimicrobial properties help prevent infections. Overall, incorporating snail mucin into your skincare routine can lead to softer, smoother, and healthier skin. Snail cosmetics originated in Korea in the 1980’s, but they are now accepted around the world as having lots of benefits for skin.
Warning: Individuals with shellfish allergies should not use this product because it contains snail mucin, a substance found in mollusks, which are categorised as marine animals.
