Korean Anti-Aging Skincare Is Trending
I can't believe it! Right? I mean, who knew snails would hit the skin care world. Growing up, they were, to me, the yucky things slimming across the sidewalk. No, no, ladies ... Yes snails, as in those tiny shelled things attached to fish tank walls and eaten as escargot in French restaurants!
From snail mucin to Korean pearl extract, Korean skincare products are all the rave!
Snail mucin is one of the hottest, new skincare ingredients for the face. The skincare world shows no signs of shrinking. It's progressing constantly as more and more brands are discovering and researching for the best, next beauty skincare products and we're lucky they do the work for us! Step aside Olay, Korean skincare products (also known as K-Beauty) continue to be cutting edge and give us excellent results.
What Is Snail Mucin Made Of?
Snail mucin is a snail excretion often called snail slime. On labels it's also referred to as SSF (snail secretion filtrate) which has the ability to moisturize and boost collagen production. Because snail mucin is an excretion occurring as a stress reaction, it's made of ingredients that repair. Therefore it contains growth factors, hyaluronic acid, glycoproteins and glycolic acid > all beneficial for our skin!
