After thorough research conducted by Dr. Fernando Bascuñan , Director of Research & Development at ELICINA®, we discovered that snail slime, or Elicina, contains vital components to contribute to the natural healing and regeneration of the skin.
Among the components identified are:
- High concentrations of Mucopolysaccharides, which provide an intense and prolonged moisturizing action, maintaining the turgor of the skin, also acting as a protective barrier against external agents such as pollution, cold, dry air and microorganisms, among others.
- Allantoin, an antiseptic and moisturiser that helps reduce redness and increases the speed of skin healing.
- Glycolic Acid, which, with its exfoliating action, contributes vitally to reducing the marks of age, sun and acne.
- High concentrations of collagen and elastin, the main proteins of the dermis, which maintain the tone, turgor and elasticity of the tissues, and natural vitamins A, C and E, which also contribute to the harmonious functioning of the dermis, keeping the tissues healthy and flexible.
