Okay so, I did a rescue on a snail in my garden 😅 his shell was cracked so I repaired it with eggshell (it's a thing! lol) and it was super stressed and as a stress response they buzz and foam out slime like crazy! So I am inclined to believe they do intentionally stress them to collect more mucin.

I use the Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence and they do say on their website that the snails are placed over a mesh in a quiet, dark room and left to roam freely, leaving their mucin behind. I don’t know anything about how snails live or how one might care for or feed a snail but I do like that Cosrx seems to care for the well-being of the snails they use for their product. The website also says that no external pressure is applied to force mucin production.

that same brand also has a mucin toner (yam) and isntree released their yam line which is also apparently similar. some more vegan options for those who need them ^^

[charlie-hyjl]

im not going to lie, as a snail lover who knows lots about snails and has had hundreds of snails of my own, snails produce WAY more mucus when they are scared, leading me to believe that the companies would not choose the “kinder” option because of how much less profitable it would be

[messrsfrizzybat]

Finally someone called all the "cruelty free" claims of snail mucin which research doesn't really back and it seems a lot of hogwash to me. People need to do their own research before believing these claims. Thank you for this! As a person following a vegan and cruelty free lifestyle, your content is really helpful for me.

I‘ve been using this product for two months now and it really helped with repairing my damaged skin barrier! (great for sensitive skin)

[franciscachesca]

Sharing this one on every skincare Facebook groep I know. Thank you so much Cassandra for finding cruelty free options. That is why I follow you.

Giving me Chelsea vibes from that's so raven with the animal cruelty lol. Thank you so much for finding us a vegan version of snail mucin

[johnmichaelarnaud]

I'm LOVING the Vegreen serum. It's even got peptides (plus copper peptide!) in it. And a much more pleasant application than snail mucin.

[bro]

Thank you for this!! I’m an ethical
Vegan too and no way could I intentionally wear animal byproducts like that that came from harming any sentient beings. I’m excited to give that product and vegan brand a try ❤🙏🏼

[scienceislove]

And considering the fact that some people can get allergic reaction from snail mucin.. that's a great option..
Bless you 💚🌱

[Squeebbles]

Omg you literally read my mind, Cass. I was actually wanting to ask you about phyto mucins from yams.

[chetnasingh]

The bean essence from mixsoon is also a good alternative to snail mucin
Their bean cream is also really good

[juliessevillatora]

Ohhh yesss! Because I tried snail and I broke out in hives. Turns out im allergic but for my mom her skin did wonders with it!! I want to try that!

[wxggy]

I do know that the way the brand CosRX collects it is in like a dark room and they just move around on mesh and it is said that they are happy. Wether this is true or not is still not 100% true but also it is said that if they weren’t happy then the quality would be bad

[softerhaze]

It's so cool how all these skincare scientists are discovering these things!!

[Nonyabiz]

Yay! I feel THE SAME WAY, with the same doubts/concerns regarding just how “cruelty-free” snail mucin actually is. Ethical vegan as well. I will certainly check this (truly) cruelty-free vegan alternative out. Thank you!

[petrichxr]

I love it when you show us vegan alternatives❤❤❤❤

[sharonkahan]

Thanks for being so conscious about animals and not supporting their use or abuse!!! ❤ #empathy

[missbeaussie]

Literally was just discussing this in your comments..thank you for posting it. I have heard they only produce it if they are stressed and have been looking for an alternative.
