Quality and respect for the environment
The Bio Snail project was founded in 2016, with the goal of satisfying the growing needs concerning people’s relationship with cosmetics. This is where high-quality products made with natural ingredients were created.
We chose to embrace a safe, green and certified policy right from the start, ensuring respect for the environment and for animals every step of our production process: from snail farming to the final product, using recycled materials to package our cosmetics.
All the raw materials we use are strictly sourced from organic farming: Argan and jojoba oil, rice starch, Shea butter, calendula extract and olive oil from the Duchy of Parma – an Emilia Romagna Region PGI product to support biodiversity.
Snail secretion is extracted in full respect of nature and animals: we opted for a simple extraction process, with an open field snail farm, without resorting to feed or food supplements. At the end of the extraction, snails are placed back in their natural habitat, without damaging or stressing them out.
Once extracted, the secretion is sanitized and filtered to make it pure and ready for a cosmetic use.
We respect nature’s timeline
Short story of a tiny revolution
The use of Snail Secretion in the healthcare and cosmetic sector dates back to Ancient Greece, when Hippocrates recommended it as an effective skin anti-inflammatory and healing balm.
Its most important diffusion takes place in Chile, in 1980, when the Bascunan family – famous for their snail farms for the French food market – realized that the farmers who handled the snails had very soft skin.
This revelation aroused the interest of many scientists and researchers, who analysed it and, after assessing its effects, called it an incredibly precious active ingredient.
Today, Snail Secretion is increasingly employed in face serums, gels and creams. Its qualitative chemical composition reveals a rather complex set of active substances, including allantoin, elastin, collagen, glycolic acid, lactic acid, vitamins and minerals, unique anti-ageing allies that help treat small scars, acne and expression lines from a cosmetic standpoint.
Bio Snail features a complete line of face and body products; loved by end costumers and field specialists, it is recommended by dermatologists, doctors, beauticians, pharmacies, herbal shops, bio-centres and spas, thanks to its visible and long-lasting results, with a quick and effective action on skin imperfections and an unmatched feeling of well-being.
