Snail Filtrate

Description

Snail Filtrate, also known as snail mucin extract, is a luxurious and highly effective natural ingredient extracted from the secretions of the Helix aspersa or other snail species. This secretion is rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, zinc, copper peptides, and allantoin, which help repair the skin, boost hydration, reduce inflammation, and improve elasticity.
