It's made of 40% donkey milk serum and 20% [snail secretion filtrate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrodew-slime) and enriched with sweet almond oil, shea butter, and other natural oils and vitamins. The use of the unusual ingredients dates back to Cleopatra and Poppaea but has since been confirmed with science. Snail secretion extract boasts a pH level between 5.7 to 6.75 and thanks to its complex composition, it has extraordinary anti-aging and calming properties. By the same token, cutting-edge technology is used to keep the donkey milk serum's biochemical profile intact which enriches its active ingredients to hydrate, protect, and nourish your skin. Consumers can pre-order Apollinea's anti-wrinkle facial cream on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bello) for €90. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Donkey Milk Serum:** Opportunity for the beauty industry to explore the potential of donkey milk serum as an innovative anti-aging ingredient. - **Snail Secretion Extract:** Potential for skincare brands to leverage the unique properties of snail secretion extract for anti-aging and calming benefits. - **Cutting-edge Technology in Skincare:** Opportunity for technological advancements in the skincare industry to enhance the effectiveness of active ingredients. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty Industry:** The beauty industry can capitalize on the trend of using unconventional ingredients like donkey milk serum and snail secretion extract in skincare products. - **Skincare Industry:** Opportunity for the skincare industry to innovate and develop new products incorporating donkey milk serum and snail secretion extract. - **Technology Industry:** Technological advancements can disrupt the skincare industry by providing new ways to enhance and preserve active ingredients in skincare products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Yam-Infused Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-snail-mucin.md) - [Phyto-Mucin Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rich-rescue-phyto-mucin-cream.md) - [Gentle Snail Mucin-Powered Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snail-mucin.md) - [Goat Milk Facial Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goat-milk-facial-skincare.md) - [Multi-Layer Milky Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aging-cream.md) - [Bouncy Phyto-Mucin Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elastic-skin.md) - [Regenerative Face Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exosomepowered.md) - [Dual-Action Goat Milk Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-rx-wrinkle-serum.md) - [Cream-Infused Sheet Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-rx-compress.md)
