Few ingredients have made waves in skincare quite like snail mucin, but not all mucin is created equal. At Setosa, we’ve taken this remarkable natural substance and elevated it to its highest potential.
A History of Healing
- Used for centuries in ancient medicine and rediscovered through Korean skincare, snail mucin is naturally rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, zinc, and growth factors that help skin regenerate. It supports cell turnover, enhances elasticity, soothes inflammation, and delivers a powerful hit of hydration.
Why We Chose It
We weren’t interested in hype. We were interested in performance. In our search for effective, natural ingredients that support skin health without irritation, snail mucin stood out. But it had to be ethical, traceable, and potent.
What Makes Setosa’s Mucin Different
Our mucin is COSMOS-certified, harvested without harming the snails, and processed using a patented low-temperature method that preserves its bioactivity. It’s produced in Cherasco, Italy, under strict guidelines that ensure purity, consistency, and sustainability.
This results in a mucin that:
- Maintains its natural structure
- Delivers superior hydration
- Enhances collagen production
- Is safe even for sensitive skin
Benefits for All Skin Types
Whether you’re battling breakouts, sensitivity, dryness, or the first signs of ageing, Setosa’s snail mucin supports the repair and resilience your skin needs:
- Hydration: Polysaccharides bind moisture deep within the skin.
- Repair: Allantoin and glycolic components calm irritation and promote healing.
- Elasticity: Peptides and enzymes support firmness and bounce.
- Barrier Support: Mucin strengthens the skin’s protective layer.
A Hero Ingredient, Harmonised
In every Setosa product, snail mucin works in synergy with other high-performing actives like orchid stem cells, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. It’s not just an ingredient, it’s a philosophy of softness, resilience, and regeneration.
