A scrupulous scientific study on Chilean snail secretions (Helix Aspersa) found an incredible combination of natural elements that had a healing effect on human skin. But it took fifteen years before snail secretions were used for cosmetic purposes.
Its efficiency on verrucas was also proven.
Helicreme with snail secretions smoothes out creases and fine wrinkles, helps scars and first degree burns, helps against skin imperfections and fades blotches caused by the sun.
These marvellous gastropods are bred in their natural habitat. Their secretions are collected with a lot of care and respect for these brave little creatures.
Composition of snail secretions:
- Allantoin - a reparative substance that helps skin regeneration. Known for its very efficient healing properties and also as an antioxidant that slows down the skin's ageing process by blocking the free-radicals contained in the cells.
- Collagen and elastine – these are indispensable structural proteins for rigidity and skin elasticity, the main components of conjunctive tissue that slows the effects of ageing.
- Glycolic acid - improves the texture and appearance of your skin, reduces creases and wrinkles, skin imperfections and hyperpigmentation. Eliminates dead cells to smooth the skin and to light up the glow.
- Antibiotic peptides (natural antibiotics) - acts as a protective barrier for the skin.
- Vitamin A - helps to hydrate the skin.
- Vitamin C - acts against skin ageing and helps healing. It has an illuminating effect on the skin.
