Snail Mucin — Ancient healing slime with a miracle twist

Legend has it that Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used crushed snails to calm inflamed skin—and thank goodness for evolution, today we have purified snail mucin (not squished snails!). Centuries later, Chilean snail farmers noticed their hands healed faster and felt silkier—just by handling snails. So they bottled the secret, and voilà: snail mucin became a K‑beauty superstar. From Greek temples to modern skincare labs, this slimy miracle is all about turning the ancient into the extraordinary.
