What is Snail Mucin?
달팽이 점액
Hydrating snail secretion
Snail mucin (snail secretion filtrate) is a K-beauty hero ingredient known for its hydrating, healing, and texture-improving properties. It contains glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and zinc, making it a multi-tasking powerhouse. Despite the initial 'ick' factor, snail mucin products are among the best-selling K-beauty items globally, with COSRX's Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence being the most iconic.
