Snail secretion
What is snail secretion?
Snail secretion is secreted by the snail's glands, and it protects the surface of the snail's skin and moisturizes it to prevent it from becoming dry.
This secretion role is very important and essential for the snails' delicate skin. Snail secretions consist of complex glycoproteins that combine different types of sugar, protein and amino acids, including water.
Notably, most of them consist of water and also contain small amounts of active ingredients, which play a key role in the effects of snail secretions.
It seems different, but snail secretions and our skin actually have very similar ingredients.
Just as snail secretions protect the snail's body, our skin is part of the body and also plays a role in protecting the body.
Our skin is divided into layers, and the inside is filled with different components.
Key components include collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and glycosaminoglycan, which are also found in the aforementioned snail secretion.
In other words, the appearance is very different, but there are many similar ingredients in our skin and snail secretions.
Therefore, snail secretion is consistently used as a skin-friendly and beneficial ingredient, and it is considered the representative ingredient that is safe without irritation.
In addition, it is also easy to use with various ingredients due to its mild ingredient that is not complicated.
Versatile effects of snail secretion (Mucin)
1. Skin rejuvenating (reshaping) effect
With age, skin cell activity naturally declines, and premature aging is also deeply linked to this skin cell activity.
Snail secretion (Mucin) has a skin regenerating effect that accelerates the activity of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which are types of skin cells, and quickly replenishes with new skin cells.
2. Effects of improving and relieving damaged skin
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can damage the skin, and repeated exposure can lead to skin weakening with redness and burning of the skin.
Snail secretion (Mucin) soothes damaged, rough and red skin, helping the skin to recover and normalize quickly.
3. Effect of improving pigmentation
Exposure to ultraviolet rays is also a major cause of pigmentation. It stimulates melanin cells deep within the skin to produce melanin pigment and expose it to the skin surface.
Snail secretion (Mucin) has the effect of reducing pigmentation by preventing melanin pigment from being produced from melanin cells.
4. Skin protection and antibacterial effect
Not only ultraviolet rays, but also various harmful substances, bacteria and viruses from outside can have a bad effect and worsen the skin.
Snail secretion (Mucin) can protect the skin from these harmful factors, and in particular, its excellent antibacterial effect can protect the skin from external contamination.
5. Improving wrinkles and elasticity
The amount of skin's essential components, such as collagen and elastin, produced by itself in the skin gradually decreases, and as they decrease, this results in reduced skin elasticity and sagging, wrinkled skin.
Snail secretion (Mucin) has an effect on filling the skin's interior, improving elasticity and reducing wrinkles by increasing the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin.
