Snail slime
Helix aspers muller glycoconjugates is the formal name for snail slime ♡. Now, this may be the last thing you want to put on your face but its use has been tried and tested! In fact, back in ancient Greece, the distinguished physician, Hippocrates reportedly used crushed snails to treat inflammation. And, in more recent times, Chilean farmers who handled snails for the French market noticed that their skin was markedly smoother.
How it works

Snails secrete a thick fluid that is rich in nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, microbial and copper peptides and proteoglycans, all components that are regularly used in beauty products.
This seemingly magical slime helps prevent premature aging via the formation of collagen and elastin and restores hydration. It also repairs damaged skin, heals acne scars and burns all the while leaving your skin visibly softer, smoother and hydrated ♡ ♪ ♪ ♪ Convinced yet?
