allergic to snail mucin, any alternatives?

I had to find out the hard way that I cannot tolerate snail mucin. it makes me itchy and ALWAYS makes me break out. then I found out that if you have a dust mite allergy (mine is pretty bad) then you could be allergic to snail mucin. this explains SO MUCH because I had won the neogen snail mucin giveaway a few monthsa go and could not figure out why for the life of me why my face was reacting that way. now I know why and i’m so sad because snail really is a top tier ingredient for dry skin! so I wanted to ask if there were any alternatives that could be used? or any products that don’t use as much snail mucin?

use natural mucin, people say yam root is natural mucin, I'm also the same as you, allergic to snail mucin, I use natural mucin from yam root, and I agree they have almost the same function for moisturizing, healing acne scars is also good, especially for pie.

If you’re looking for a hydration type of dupe, this hada labo is a good one in terms of consistency and hydration power!

Yes i think I am allergic to snail mucin as well :( I tried a patch test on my hand and it became soo red and itchy and had NO idea what happened. But I also have a pretty bad dust mite allergy so that explains it. And i am soo sad about it because everyone has such positive things to say about it :(
