Snail mucin cruel? 🐌🐌

I read some articles online that the methods of collecting snail mucin are very cruel. But I really like snail mucin serums in my skincare routine … What are your opinions? Are there any alternatives?

I think it depends on the brand, Cosrx for exemple explained exactly how they extract the mucin, how the snails are handled and certified the well being of the little guys 🐌 None are harmed in the process 🐌

I love Vegreen products! They contains a “vegan version of Snail mucin” (Wild Yam) :)

yeah i read thats article, To be honest, my skin is a bit unfriendly to snail mucin, recently I've been using Nacific Triple Cica. They claim that their product contains natural mucin that comes from wild yam root, the ingredients are not familiar, but in some articles it is stated that this root is used as a natural anti-inflammatory. i try to use it almost one bottle I think there is a change with my acne scars, either PIE and PIH
