As Korean cosmetics become more and more popular, there is talk of various unheard-of cosmetic ingredients that work real miracles for the skin. One of these is snail mucin, also known as snail secretion filtrate. This cosmetic ingredient is extracted from snails and then used in the production of various facial serums, essences, moisturisers and creams (check out the COSRX Snail Mucin range in our e-shop, which is famous for its Snail Mucin essence and Snail Mucin cream).
Snail mucin has strong skin moisturising properties. Products enriched with snail mucin help restore the skin's barrier function and lock in moisture. These properties will leave the skin feeling hydrated, looking plumper and regaining its natural shine.
Snail mucin also has collagen-stimulating properties, which helps to keep skin looking younger and smoother.
Products with snail mucin also have soothing and regenerating properties. Snail mucin helps wounds heal faster, so facial products with snail mucin are ideal for damaged, acne-prone skin.
