But wait a minute – snail mucin? As in, the stuff snails trail behind them?

Yep, that’s exactly it. And it's causing quite the buzz in the Korean skincare world. But before we get too excited about this magic goo, let’s address the elephant (or should we say snail?) in the room.

Is snail mucin cruelty-free?

The short answer – yes! Now, let's dive into the long one.

Snail Mucin: Slime That’s Sublime

Let's not shy away from the truth. Snail mucin comes from snail slime.

But don't let that make you squeamish. This slimy goo is a powerhouse of benefits for your skin. Hydration, collagen production, anti-aging, wound healing – you name it, snail mucin delivers it.

But you're probably wondering, "How can something so beneficial be cruelty-free?"

Well, let's turn our attention to what actually happens on the journey from snail to skin.

Behind the Scenes - A Cruelty-Free Journey

As a cruelty-free brand, you’d think extracting snail mucin would pose quite a dilemma. So how do we do it?

Spoiled snails

Picture if you will, an Eden of Snails; a verdant utopia where our hardworking gastropods live a life of leisure, luxury, and unabashed merriment. This lush Shangri-La pulsates with the harmonious orchestra of nature, providing the soundtrack to the snails' opulent existence.

In this tranquil haven, our snails, the veritable rock stars of the skincare world, reside on majestic nets, spun from the purest fibers, kissed by the morning dew. These nets, hanging like the gossamer drapes of a royal canopy, provide a playground of epic proportions; a paradise where the snails can roam free, unhindered, and feast on the glorious freedom that for most of us remains the stuff of ephemeral dreams.

*Clears throat*

No, but seriously, here’s how we do it:

1. The Happy Snails: Our snails aren't stressed, harmed or even mildly inconvenienced for the mucin collection. They live freely, crawling over sprawling nets draped over a natural, open environment, living their best snail life.
   
2. The Natural Slime: The snails produce mucin naturally as they roam, which is what we're interested in. There's no poking, prodding, or irritation involved.
   
3. The Collection Process: The slime drips down through the nets and is collected, without any interference with the snails.

Voila! We have our snail mucin, and the snails go on about their day, no worse for wear. How's that for cruelty-free?
