Snail Mucin Extract or Snail “Slime” has been the popular gal in the skincare world these recent years. We can find it from masks to serums, facial moisturizers and lotions. But is it really worth the hype?

What is Snail Mucin

Snail Mucin is the excretion from a snail, and it is naturally created by snails as a way to protect themselves. So how exactly does it benefit the skin? Snail Mucin is the ultimate multi-tasker. It has the ability to do everything like boost your skin’s collagen production, heal and moisturize to keep your skin glowing and youthful. Snail Mucin is naturally rich in skin-loving ingredients like Allantoin, which has healing properties that calm and soothe tired and irritated skin while helping to stimulate skin cell regenaration, Hyaluronic Acid which works deep into your skin to provide and lock in moisture, Glycolic Acid which is a mild exfoliant that sheds old layers of skin to reveal brighter, newer skin, Elastin and Collagen, nutrients like Zinc, Manganese and Copper Peptides, lauded for their ability to increase collagen and decrease fine lines and wrinkles and Vitamin A and C which are anti-oxidants great for fighting everyday free radicals caused by environmental stress.

Sounds like this super-serum is worth the hype, it’s definitely not something you want to miss out on. Curious about Snail Slime? Our favorite Snail product of all time is CV Skin’s Snail Mucin Essence; formulated with high concentrations of Snail Secretion Filtrate and good-for-skin ingredients like natural botanical extracts—it works great for all skin-types especially those with sensitive, inflamed skin and those who wish to fade their pimple marks.
