THE DISCOVERY

OF THE COSMETIC INGREDIENT

The properties of snail slime were first discovered in 1980, in Chile, where the Bascunan family raised snails for the French culinary market. The workers employed in the heliciculture realized that their hands were incredibly soft and that the cuts on them healed very quickly, without suffering infection or scarring. This consideration prompted the scholars to begin the characterization of the mucopolysaccharide of snails, to understand which mechanism allowed the rapid healing of wounds.

Analyzing the drool they discovered a miraculous composition made by:
Allantoin: substance that stimulates tissue regeneration, promotes epidermal turnover and promotes the proliferation of keratinocytes (replacing dead cells with new cells).
Elastin: protein that makes the skin elastic.
Collagen: essential constituent of the skin, which acts as a moisturizer and softener. By virtue of its elasticising properties, it makes the skin toned and soft.
Glycolic acid: allows to exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin and directly stimulates the formation of collagen in the dermis, making the skin more luminous.
Vitamins, essential amino acids and other proteins: promote peripheral vascularization and “oxygenate the skin”, ensuring the supply of nutrients and hydration of the skin. Furthermore, vitamins perform an antioxidant and healing activity.
From this observation and from the study of the Helix Aspersa Muller more commonly known as The properties of snail slime it has been concluded that this substance is currently the most revolutionary, pure, natural and hypoallergenic product used both in medicine and in cosmetics thanks to components such as glycolic acid, collagen, elastin, allantoin, various vitamins and minerals without forgetting that it contains natural antibiotics that destroy skin bacteria that cause, for example, acne.
