Snail slime has been one of the most sought-after skincare ingredients for several years. Its unique regenerating, smoothing, and anti-aging properties make cosmetics containing this ingredient incredibly popular in both Korea and Europe.
In this article, I collected the most frequently asked questions on the Internet about snail slime and answered them based on the properties of Orientana natural cosmetics.
What is the benefit of snail slime in cosmetics?
Snail slime contains allantoin, collagen, elastin, glycolic acid, proteins, and vitamins, among other ingredients, which support skin regeneration.
- anti-wrinkle,
- moisturizing,
- smoothing,
- brightening discolorations,
- soothing in cases of inflammation.
At Orientana you will find, for example, a face cream with snail slime , which intensively regenerates and improves skin firmness.
Are cosmetics with snail slime cruelty-free?
This is possible – the mucus can be obtained safely and harmlessly. In the case of Orientana, the mucus comes exclusively from farms where the animals are treated with care and do not die during the extraction process.
Does snail slime work on wrinkles?
Yes, thanks to the presence of allantoin, collagen, and elastin, snail slime helps rebuild skin structure, smoothing it, and increasing elasticity. Regular use of Orientana eye cream with snail slime can visibly reduce the depth of wrinkles.
Does snail slime help with scars and discoloration?
Yes – the glycolic acid in the mucilage supports the exfoliation process, while allantoin stimulates regeneration. This combination helps lighten discolorations and improve the appearance of acne scars.
Is snail slime suitable for sensitive skin?
This is a highly active ingredient and is not always well tolerated by sensitive skin. At Orientana, we recommend performing a patch test behind the ear first.
How often should you use cosmetics with snail slime?
They can be used daily – morning and evening. They are best applied to cleansed skin, before cream, or as a standalone moisturizing and regenerating product.
Can snail slime be combined with other active ingredients?
Yes – it works well with vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. However, caution should be exercised when combining it with strong AHA/BHA acids or retinol.
Which Orientana face cosmetic with snail slime should I choose?
Depending on your needs:
- Face cream with snail slime – for skin that requires regeneration, smoothing and hydration,
- Eye cream with snail slime – for intensive anti-wrinkle action, for swelling and dark circles under the eyes.
- Snail slime essence – quick moisturizing and smoothing effect.
Does snail slime have an odor?
In its pure form, the mucus has a neutral smell, and in Orientana cosmetics its aroma is completely imperceptible thanks to delicate fragrance notes.
Are cosmetics with snail slime suitable for summer?
Yes – they perfectly regenerate the skin after exposure to the sun and support its hydration, and in conjunction with an SPF cream they constitute the perfect holiday care.
Can snail slime cause allergies?
Allergic reactions are very rare, but people with extremely sensitive skin should perform a patch test before first use.
Can snail slime be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes, it is safe, but it is always worth consulting a doctor, especially when using other active ingredients at the same time.
How to store cosmetics with snail slime?
Ideally, store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Serum products can also be stored in the refrigerator for a cooling sensation during application.
