The History

"In 1980 the Bascunan family from Chile bred snails for export to the French food market. The snail handlers noticed how quickly minor cuts healed without infection or scarring as well as the unusual softness of their hands.
Rigorous scientific study of the Chilean snail 'Helix Aspersa Muller' secretion confirmed that it contained an extraordinary combination of natural substances that have proven beneficial healing properties for the human skin."

Allegedly, it were the Greeks who first discovered the benefits of snail slime and used it to treat ulcers and whooping cough. More recently, South American snail farmers noticed that their hands were very soft. (see above)
So it has been discovered that snail “slime” from Chilean snails - such as the Helix Aspera Muller - is effective in treating a number of human skin conditions. After all, she uses it to repair cracks in its shell!Scientific discoveries have revealed that the slime is also effective in repairing damaged or scarred human skin and can be used as a smoothing beauty treatment. It has been scientifically tested and proven to help improve acne, repair scar tissue, burns, stretch marks, to fade liver and age spots (hyperpigmentation), to help smooth out wrinkles and expression lines and to even reduce cellulite.

The secretion contains allantoin (proven to be a stimulant for skin regeneration, effective for healing, smoothing and desensitise skin), collagen and elastin (structural proteins that bond skin tissue, nurture skin and improve its appearance; effective for skin repair especially on stretch marks) and vitamins (which contribute to the constant regeneration of skin) and has anti-inflammatory agents. It also uses natural antibiotics (protective substances which fight against infection) and glycolic acid, which gently removes superficial dead skin cells and helps to promote their replacement with new cells. It also enables cleansing of pilose follicles and favours the absorption of other natural substances contained in the snail secretion filtrate.
