Snail secretion, also known as snail mucin or snail slime, is a kind of mucus produced by snails. Snail mucus is used by land mollusks to travel by adhesive locomotion via muscular waves that propagate from tail to head. The mucus has an adapted flow behavior that allows transmittance of the muscular force while maintaining adhesion. When inactive, many mollusks of both marine and terrestrial species use the secretion to stick to various surfaces. Snail mucus has been used for millennia to treat wounds, burns, and other skin issues. It is believed to provide hydration benefits to the skin and can help reduce skin inflammation and promote healthy-looking skin as we age. Snail secretion filtrate contains elements that provide a boost to human skin, such as growth factors, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid. Some researchers think that snail mucus shows promise at hydrating skin, improving fine lines, and helping wounds and scratches heal faster. However, not all snail secretion products have the same benefits, and different types of snail mucin produce different results. Snail secretion is obtained through a non-harmful, patented process, refined, and purified to create SCA Biorepair Technology used in skincare products.
