Frequently asked questions

Is snail mucin vegan?

No. Snail secretion filtrate is animal-derived and is not suitable for a vegan skincare routine.

Can it be used with niacinamide?

Snail mucin is generally used as a hydrating layer and can be included in the same routine as niacinamide. Introduce new products one at a time if your skin is reactive.

Who should patch-test first?

Patch-test before wider use if your skin is very reactive. Anyone with a known mollusc allergy should seek appropriate professional advice before using snail-derived skincare.
