From mucin serums and creams to essences, there are countless K-beauty products that tap into the benefits of snail mucin—but VEGREEN's Fragrance-Free Nature Mucin Serum makes the most of a different source of mucin. Mucin is one of the components of skin and is helpful for retaining moisture, and this serum boasts 63% mucin from wild yam extract. Alongside this hero ingredient, there's ceramide and panthenol for additional firming, destressing, moisturizing and protective properties.
Snail mucin has become a popular ingredient in skincare products in recent years, thanks to its hydrating, anti-aging, and soothing properties. At the same time, there is also a growing demand for cruelty-free and plant-based alternatives to snail mucin, as many consumers are concerned about the ethical implications of using an ingredient derived from snails.
