Snails, known for their taste and now for their cosmetic properties

June 15, 2012 - PRLog -- The snail has proved to be a real miracle for the epidermis. While some appreciate them for their taste, these molluscs have been discovered more recently to have cosmetic properties too.
Snail extract has been discovered to be increasingly good for skin after a group of snail farmers reported that they had smoother skin after handling snails with their hands.
Snail extracts, which were previously known to help heal burn wounds and used as an alternative to commercial topical care, now claim to reverse aging process, repair damaged skin and acne prone skin, reports cosmeticsdesign-europe.com.
Iris Naturals International has now discovered the increasing benefits of snail extracts for skin health. They have harvested farm-grown snails used in creating the ingredient.
The idea that the skin could get its strength from snails, is not that new. A real treasure in nature with multiple valuable properties, the snail is an ancient beauty secret of the Mapuche women (indigenous tribe in the Andes in Chile), who use the snail’s mucus for its regenerative properties. They collect the snails, rinse them and then apply them directly to the skin. Studied by a team of Chilean researchers and doctors, the mucus of the Helix aspersa can now be found among the ingredients of numerous skin creams.
The snail extract features unique properties that promote healthy skin, allantoin, collagen, elastin, glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and protein.
