Snail slime is a mucus secreted by snails. This substance is produced by glands located on the body of the snail and serves to protect the skin of the animal against dehydration and external aggressions. Snail slime is also rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds that have beneficial properties for human skin, including moisturizing, healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is therefore often used in cosmetic products to help improve the appearance and texture of the skin.
Snail slime is harvested following the delicate manual tickling of the snail.
