THE HISTORY OF THE FIRST SNAIL SLIME CREAM

Snail slime cream, also known as snail cream, has a history rooted in antiquity. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates recommended the use of snails to treat skin inflammations, such as wounds or irritations. Snails were used for their regenerative and moisturizing properties, although the active ingredients of their slime were not fully understood at that time.

Modern interest in snail slime was revived in the 1980s when snail farmers in Chile noticed that their hands were exceptionally smooth and healed quickly from cuts. This discovery attracted the attention of scientists who began to study the properties of the slime, leading to its use in cosmetics.

The first snail cream was introduced to the market by a Chilean company in the 1990s. As a result of research, Elicina created the first commercial cream containing snail slime, which started a global trend in cosmetics. The product became popular first in South America and then in other markets, especially in Asia, where cosmetics containing natural ingredients gained huge recognition.

The importance of snail slime is not limited to the cosmetics industry. Traditionally, it has also been used in natural medicine, especially in treating infections and accelerating tissue regeneration. Today, its use is mainly focused on skin care, where its unique regenerative properties are invaluable.

As a Polish expert brand using Asian ingredients in cosmetics, we became interested in Korean skin care using snail slime a dozen or so years ago. This ingredient has gained huge popularity in Korea and has become one of the pillars of the global success of Korean skin care (so-called K-beauty). Its phenomenon is based on numerous benefits for the skin, such as regeneration, moisturization and wrinkle reduction.

The Korean approach to skin care focuses on prevention and healthy appearance, which perfectly matches the action of snail slime. Thanks to its regenerative and moisturizing abilities, it has been used in a wide range of products, such as creams, serums, masks and essences. What's more, Koreans value natural and innovative ingredients, and snail slime fits perfectly into this philosophy.

Can snail slime irritate the skin?

Snail slime is generally well tolerated, but as with any cosmetic, there is a risk of irritation in people with particularly sensitive skin or prone to allergies. In this case, it is recommended to perform an allergy test before fully using the product. Due to its natural composition, allergic reactions are rare, but can occur, especially if the product contains additional chemicals.

Where do we buy snail slime from?

In response to the growing demand for snail slime, ecological farms have emerged, where snails are bred in environmentally friendly conditions. On such farms, snails are fed natural food, and the slime is obtained humanely, without harming the animals. The slime is obtained using non-invasive methods, e.g. by gently stimulating the snails, which causes them to secrete slime. Then the snails are returned to their natural environment, where they continue their normal life. One of the basic principles of the Orientana brand is not to use ingredients to the detriment of animals. We attach great importance to ensuring that snails are bred humanely.

Countries where snail slime cream is the most popular

Creams with snail slime are particularly popular in Asia, especially in South Korea, which is a pioneer in the production of innovative cosmetics. In recent years, snail slime has also gained popularity in Poland.

MUCIN

Mucins are a family of heavily glycosylated proteins that are secreted by snails for adhesion, hydration, lubrication, and other functions. Despite their ubiquity, snail mucins are largely uncharacterized. Snails produce mucin proteins in their mucus with a wide range of biological functions, including microbial defense, adhesion, and lubrication. Recently, snail mucins have also become a lucrative source of innovation with a wide range of applications in chemistry, biology, biotechnology, and biomedicine. In particular, snail mucins are used as skin care products, wound healing agents, surgical adhesives, and for the treatment of gastric ulcers. Recent advances in integrated omics (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, glycomic) technologies have improved the characterization of snail mucins, enhancing the generation of new biomaterials.

Therapeutic applications of snail mucin in medicine have been explored as antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, anticancer agents, wound healing agents, and biomaterial coatings, among others. Additionally, applications in cosmetics include anti-aging care, moisturization, anti-acne, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. It is important to emphasize that most of the studies conducted are preclinical studies or small clinical trials, which underscores the need for additional large-scale clinical trials to support these claims. The global market for snail mucin products is estimated to be worth between $457 million and $1.2 billion, with growth forecasts in the coming decade.

snail slime filtrate

In fact, at Orientana we use snail slime filtrate. It is a concentrated extract that is created by purifying and filtering raw snail slime. This process removes all impurities to obtain a pure, active ingredient rich in substances beneficial to the skin. Snail slime filtrate is a technologically advanced cosmetic ingredient obtained by filtering and purifying raw snail slime. It is rich in regenerating, moisturizing and anti-aging substances, making it an effective ingredient in skin care.

How is snail slime filtrate made?

Snail slime is collected and purified. Raw slime contains water, proteins, enzymes, trace minerals, and other substances that may contain contaminants. The purification process is designed to eliminate unwanted substances such as dead cells, bacteria, and environmental pollutants.

After purification, the mucus is filtered several times to obtain a pure and concentrated product that is ready to be used in cosmetics. During the filtration process, the mucus is transformed into a filtrate – a light, watery solution that easily penetrates the skin while preserving all the valuable active ingredients.

The filtrate must be stabilized to maintain its properties over a long period of time. Therefore, appropriate preservatives or auxiliary substances are added to prevent decomposition and maintain the biological activity of the ingredients contained.

Active ingredients in snail slime filtrate

Snail slime filtrate contains a number of active ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the skin:

Allantoin – accelerates cell regeneration, soothes and supports healing.

Collagen and elastin – proteins that support skin elasticity and firmness.

Glycolic acid – gently exfoliates dead skin, supporting skin renewal.

Proteins and enzymes – nourish the skin, support its repair and protect it from external factors.

Vitamins (A, C, E) – act as antioxidants, helping to protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals.

The use of snail slime filtrate in cosmetics

Snail slime filtrate is commonly used in skin care products such as anti-aging creams where it slows down the aging process, improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles. Moisturizing creams where it deeply moisturizes and nourishes the skin, especially dry and tired. Regenerating serums where it helps heal scars, reduce discoloration and repair damaged skin. Acne creams where, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, the filtrate helps heal acne lesions and reduce scars.
