Snail Mucin

Snail mucin, also known as snail secretion filtrate (SSF) or snail slime, is a viscous fluid that snails produce to protect and moisten their feeble bodies. 

Ancient Greece realised the skin-healing properties of snail mucin and added it to their skincare routine. However, in the early 2000s, Korean skincare companies were the 1st to innovate and incorporate snail mucin in their product formulations.
