Snail mucin in cosmetics began to use recently. Its powerful features positively assessed all the girls who care about the issue of rejuvenation. And yet it is perfectly suited to all owners of sensitive skin.
What is it about snail mucin, than it is useful for our skin and how it is produced - see below.
Snail mucin is quite common in the Korean cosmetics. Already, I think everyone noticed the abundance of Korean masks, gels and foams, which labels these cute snails are shown. Originally, however, snail slime in the rejuvenation began to use in Latin America.
Do not believe it, but this miracle component was inaugurated Chilean simple farmer! Snails grown on farms in South America, then they are delivered to a French restaurant. One of the Chilean farmers Fernando Bascuñana, drew attention to their hands - they had been smooth and the skin seemed like a child.
Imagine a farmer's hand in hot countries they are supposed to be winded, with sores and blisters, wrinkled, and even in addition to the pigmentation, because there is a whole day in the sun. For Chilean farmers who are engaged in snail, all that was alien, they did not know about such aesthetic problems.
Fernando Bascuñana could not understand how he got those hands of aristocratic girls. Local women he suggested that the matter in snail mucus, which prevents skin aging, heals quickly, any cracks and sores on the hands.
It's amazing: Chilean women have long known about the rejuvenating properties of snails, they were collected, washed mucus and applied to himself, but to use snail mucus in the cosmetics business began to man, the same Fernando. It took 15 years for her to explore the snails on the farm, to identify the formula and release their first regenerating hand cream with snail slime filtrate. So in 1995 it appeared the first cosmetic product with a secret snails under the brand name "Elitsina".
What's so special about snail mucin
To begin with, what do mucins. Glycoproteins, which contain acidic polysaccharides. Mucins present in secretions of the mucous glands. This gel-like consistency of the allocated human and animal cells. Here are just a snail mucins are responsible for the mineralization process, in other words, are they involved in the formation of shells. In humans and animals mucin forms a bone.
Snail mucin boasts of its rich composition: there are vitamins A, B and E, allatonin and, most importantly, Collagen, glycolic and hyaluronic acid.
Snails are two types of mucus: one wets the surface and helps them to move, and the other - mucin, released in the case of special secret snail stress (e.g., damaged or sink when touching them for back). Unfortunately, to get such a useful component in cosmetics, snails have to disturb and provoke them stress.
Strong composition mucin snails found its application in keratolytics (good exfoliates horny layer cells) and anti-aging cosmetics: Firstly, mucin relentlessly absorbs free radicals which cause skin aging, secondly, it normalizes collagen and elastin (which is very important think after 30 years), in the third, snail slime greatly moisturizes the skin, covers it with a thin film, which retains moisture and prevents it evaporate.
More snail mucin well soothes the skin, reduces inflammation and irritation, and is not seen in any allergic reactions. This property of the component is very important to owners of sensitive skin.
Briefly about what the problem helps solve snail slime: acne, puffiness, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, photoaging, inflammation and acne.
Cosmetics with snail mucin has no age restrictions, so you can enjoy and adolescents.
Mucin produced in two ways:
1) snails spun in a centrifuge, thereby generating stress for them, after which a large amount of mucin;
2) at the gathering snails artificially raise the temperature of the air, which stimulates the release of secretions, mucus then collected with water, evaporated, filtered and purified. Most loyal method of producing mucin, because the heat in the room for snails something like a sauna for us.
All snails are alive and well, and after the stressful event of their pet snacks. Live snails, which are grown in environmentally friendly conditions and denied food delights, bring much more good than eating.
Cosmetics with mucin has several brands in the United States, Brazil and Spain, but the activity of the rest of the makeup with mucin come from Korean manufacturers. With snail mucus they produce not only creams, cloth masks and gels. This component Koreans successfully "pushed" and foam cleanser, tonic and serum. The most powerful means of mucin from the snail - is, of course, sera.
By the way, tip for the future of serums and creams with snail mucin: grab a little money on your index finger and hold it with your thumb, and then disconnect. If the consistency is sticky (like snot), it means that the product in a high concentration of snail mucin, which is very good effect on our skin.
