The Glassy Look of Skin which is so often envied.
How is snail mucin collected?
The snails are placed on a mesh net in a dark and calm room. As nocturnal creatures, snails prefer this environment. For about 30 minutes, the snails are left alone to roam the net freely, leaving mucin in their trails.
Throughout the process, no external stress is applied to the snails or the mesh to force the production of mucin. This is due to two reasons. First, animal testing is illegal in Korea, and animal abuse is a huge topic that has sparked much controversy. Second, optimal mucin production occurs when snails are well rested and comfortable in their habitat, which is why the manufacturer does their best to ensure that snails are healthy and comfortable.
After 30 minutes, the snails are brought #back to their homes to rest and regain energy while the mucin is collected and processed for cosmetic purposes. The collected mucin is then treated to properly stabilize the product and make it suitable for cosmetic use.
No snails are harmed in the process
