What the Snail? What makes snail slime so special? The simple explanation is that snail skin is made up of the same structural components of human skin such as collagen, elastin, water holding molecules, etc. Since snail slime is what protects and restores the damages caused by sun radiation and the coarse surfaces they have to slither on, it can have the same regenerative effects on human skin too. The scientific explanation is that snail slime contain glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that tightly bind copper peptides. Copper peptides not only degrades wounds and scars, but also has the ability to stimulate collagen production. GAGs are a family of carbohydrates that play an important role in maintaining connective tissue between cells so the skin always looks more tight. They also include the composition of hyalorunat, a compound that keeps the skin moist. In short, snail slime has the ability to assist in breaking down acne scarring, promote collagen synthesis, and moisturise the skin. History of Snail Cream Snails were recommended for skin care as far back as 400 B.C when Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, produced the earliest known snail cream with milk and crushed snails to treat skin redness. In 1980, a Chilean family that sold snails to Europe for food purposes discovered that the handling of the snails softened the workers' skin. Another 15 years of scientific analysis and formulation later, the first modern snail cream was developed. Snail cream increased in popularity in Koea in 2009, the trend reached its peak in 2010, and now it has spread to Japan and the rest of Asia will follow suit.
