About this listen

Uncover the secrets of snail mucin, the unexpected K-beauty sensation taking the skincare world by storm! From its ancient Greek origins to its modern-day viral status, we delve into this unique ingredient

Discover the science behind the slime, a complex blend of hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, peptides, and antioxidants that deeply hydrate, soothe inflammation, accelerate wound healing, and offer anti-aging benefits by boosting collagen

Learn the best ways to incorporate it into your routine, typically applied as a serum on damp skin before moisturiser, and how it can be a 'hyaluronic acid+' powerhouse for your complexion

.But beyond the benefits, we explore the crucial ethical considerations of mucin collection, contrasting traditional methods with cruelty-free approaches, and introducing innovative vegan alternatives like plant-derived phytomucin

We’ll also examine the current scientific evidence – what's proven, what needs more research, and who should use caution due to potential allergies

Tune in to separate the hype from the science and decide if this 'slimy' secret is right for your skin!
