Snail Secretion Filtrate
Limited concern·Limited evidence
A filtrate of garden snail mucus containing glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, allantoin and glycolic acid. A handful of small industry-funded trials report improved hydration and reduced fine lines after several weeks of use, but independent, well-controlled human data are scarce, so treat the "repair" and "glass skin" marketing as unproven rather than false.
Questions
- Does snail mucin actually work for "glass skin" or anti-aging?
- A handful of small, mostly industry-funded trials report improved hydration and reduced fine lines after several weeks of use, but independent, well-controlled human data are scarce. Treat the stronger marketing claims as unproven rather than confirmed.
- Is snail secretion filtrate vegan?
- No. It is harvested from live garden snails, so it is an animal-derived ingredient even though it is not typically classified as a common skin allergen.
