How is snail slime extracted? Method of collecting slime

How is snail slime extracted? Discover Lumalux's cruelty-free method.

Lumalux has always been sensitive to the quality of snail slime collection. Even before starting production of the serum and cream with a high percentage of snail slime, the company carefully selected Italian farms that comply with strict standards. Only professional farms committed to guaranteeing a pure, organic substance and a certified "cruelty-free" extraction method were chosen, ensuring the welfare of the animals.

The origins of snail farming: from food production to cosmetics

The first snail farms were purely for food production. Later, with the growing demand for snail slime from cosmetics companies, farms began to specialize in this sector. The Japanese were the first to discover the benefits of snail slime for the skin, using snails by letting them move freely on people's faces.

Heliciculture, or snail farming managed in a natural way, can be practiced both outdoors and indoors. This approach guarantees a high-quality product that respects nature.

Slime harvesting: past and present

In the past, slime extraction processes were often cruel. Snails were subjected to small electric shocks to stimulate slime secretion. This method not only caused stress to the animals, but also compromised their health and reduced their lifespan.

Today, thanks to a more ethical and sustainable approach, cruelty-free extraction processes have become the standard for companies that operate responsibly. Lumalux relies on methods that are 100% respectful of the welfare of snails, guaranteeing organic and certified cruelty-free slime, with the support of veterinary certifications.

The cruelty-free extraction process

In modern ethical farms, slime is collected using:

• Use of gentle extractors that do not cause stress to the animals;
• Snails must be over one year old before harvesting;
• The animals are cleaned and placed in special containers where, through gentle movement on an axis, the production of slime is stimulated by the movement of the snails.

Once harvesting is complete, the snails are reintroduced into their habitat, ensuring harvesting cycles that avoid stress and overuse of the animals.

Filtering and use of snail slime

The collected saliva undergoes filtration and microfiltration processes to ensure a pure product free of impurities. This substance is then used in the production of cosmetics and natural medicine products.
