The famous Snail Mucus

Snail secretion has been around for many years and is famous for its healing properties. In ancient Greece, according to Hippocrates, snail mucus was used to heal burns and regenerate the skin.

It is a type of mucus, which is produced by snails and acts as a protective layer. Its role is to protect the snails from environmental factors and abrasions of their body.

It is rich in proteins, high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, collagen, elastin and glycolic acid. Its composition has highlighted it as a treatment for many skin conditions as well as an amazing natural skin care product.

The secretion, since it is processed to stabilize the physicochemical and microbiological state (greasy, translucent yellowish, weak odor), is added to skin care products with different substances. These are the six:

• Allantoin, which rebuilds the skin.
• Glycolic acid, which helps to exfoliate or remove dead cells.
• Collagen and Elastin prevent aging and help maintain skin elasticity.
• Vitamins such as A, D, E, B and K.
• Natural antibiotics fight existing skin bacteria.
