More Cosmeceutical Nonsense

Apparently that slime trail left behind by snails and slugs is good for the skin.

The studies have verified that the dribble of snail allows to prevent and to eliminate wrinkles, to attenuate grooves, to eliminate scars caused for wounded and burns of first degree, to remove the acne, to clean spots produced by the sun. It has also demonstrated to be effective to eliminate warts of the skin.

But will my hair grown back on my bald head if I rub a snail on it. The real question is how to they harvest it.

Unbeknownst to me a Chilean company AGROINDUSTRIAL LA FLORESTA LTD is dedicated to the production and exportation of ‘soil’ snail, Helix aspersa Müller. Being the raising of snails our principal target we have split our production in the elaboration of high quality slime:SNAIL SECRETION FILTRATE or cryptosina, used as raw material for dermatologic and cosmetic products widely recognized.

    It sounds fantastic, but I hope they get a PR firm to work on the name! LOL! Trying to persuade someone to smear snail dribble on their person may be rougher than it seems! LOL!

  2. Hmm… I’ve heard the same claims made about bull semen. Apparently women from a tribe in somewhere in Africa smear it all over their face to look young.

    My wife says that one of the main ingredients in many “beauty” products is urea btw.
