What is snail slime? Properties and benefits

In recent years, the cosmetics industry has seen a growing use of snail slime, a natural substance with incredible beneficial properties for the skin.

Specifically, snail slime is a secretion produced by the mollusk through its locomotor system. This secretion has the ability to keep the skin hydrated, protected, and regenerated, which is why it has become one of the most sought-after ingredients in cosmetics.

What is snail slime?

Snail slime is the secretion produced by the species Helix Aspersa, commonly known as the garden snail. This mollusk produces a viscous, sticky substance that allows it to move even on vertical and smooth surfaces. But why so much interest in an animal secretion?

The answer lies in its unique properties, initially discovered in the scientific field and then exploited in cosmetics and other sectors, such as natural medicine.

Properties of snail slime

Scientific interest in snail slime exploded in the 1990s, when studies on post-Chernobyl radiation showed that snails seemed immune to genetic damage thanks to their secretion. This secretion protected the snails from radiation, regenerating their tissues and defending them from external agents.

These discoveries have led to an in-depth study of its properties, which include:

• Cell regeneration: thanks to glycolic acid, the slime removes dead cells and impurities, making the skin more toned and radiant.
• Deep hydration: the collagen contained in the slime nourishes and hydrates the skin, counteracting the action of enzymes that degrade its structure.
• Antioxidant action: reduces free radicals and combats the signs of photoaging, the main cause of wrinkle formation.
• Toning effect: improves skin elasticity and promotes tissue regeneration thanks to allantoin.
• Protection and soothing: the presence of vitamins E and C helps prevent infections and inflammation, improving the overall condition of the skin.
• Skin oxygenation: the proteins present in the slime promote better oxygenation, enhancing hydration and skin well-being.

Applications and benefits of snail slime

Thanks to its unique properties, snail slime is used in numerous cosmetic products for:

• Fight acne, blemishes, and scars;
• Prevent and reduce wrinkles;
• Moisturize and protect the skin from external aggressions;
• Promote tissue regeneration and improve skin radiance.
