• Moisturizing lotions and creams
• Acne treatments
• Scar healing products
• Exfoliating products

It is primarily included in serums, face masks, moisturizers, and spot treatments.

5. Appearance:

Snail Slime Filtrate typically appears as a clear or slightly milky, viscous liquid. It has a somewhat slimy texture, which is why it is often used in gel-based skincare products.

6. Usage Rate:

The usage rate of Snail Slime Filtrate varies depending on the type of product and the desired effect. However, typical concentrations in skincare formulations are around:

• 0.5% to 5% for serums and moisturizers

7. Origin:

Snail Slime Filtrate is obtained from snails (often Cornu aspersum, also known as the common garden snail) through a process that does not harm the animal. The snails are typically placed on surfaces, and as they move, they secrete mucus, which is collected and then filtered for use in skincare formulations.
