Snail Mucin

What is Snail Mucin?
The filtered secretion of snails, rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid. It hydrates, helps skin look smoother and supports recovery from dryness and irritation — the reason it is a K-beauty favourite. Generally gentle, though it is animal-derived and some people find it slightly sticky.
In skincare terms, Snail Mucin is a hydrating ingredient that helps the skin attract and hold on to water, and a soothing ingredient often used to calm the look of redness and sensitivity.
