The Rise of Snail Mucin in Skincare: Insights from Dermatologist Rohit Gupta at NYRA Clinic

As skincare enthusiasts and professionals continue searching for the next big thing in skincare, it seems that snail mucin has become the latest trend to take the beauty world by storm. But what is snail mucin, and why is it so popular?

To answer these questions, we spoke with Dr. Rohit Gupta, a dermatologist & Cosmetologist at NYRA Clinic in Lucknow.  According to Dr. Gupta, snail mucin is a natural ingredient that has been used in Korean skincare for many years. It is derived from the slime that snails produce to protect their skin and aid in healing wounds.

"Snail mucin is rich in hyaluronic acid, glycoproteins, and antimicrobial peptides," says Dr. Gupta. "These compounds help hydrate, soothe, and repair the skin, making it an excellent ingredient for dry or damaged skin."

In addition to its hydrating and healing properties, snail mucin has also been shown to have anti-aging benefits. "Snail mucin contains allantoin, which is a natural exfoliant that helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover," explains Dr. Gupta. "This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve overall skin texture and tone."

Despite its many benefits, some people may be hesitant to try snail mucin due to its somewhat unusual origin. However, Dr. Gupta assures us that snail mucin is safe and effective for skincare products.

"Snail mucin is carefully extracted from snails without harming them," he says. "And because it is a natural ingredient, it is generally well-tolerated by most skin types."

So, if you're looking to try out the latest skincare trend, snail mucin may be worth considering. Whether you're dealing with dryness, damage, or signs of aging, this natural ingredient may just be the solution you've been searching for.

What are the benefits of snail mucin and is it safe for a pregnant woman?

Snail mucin has several benefits for the skin, including:

• Hydration: Snail mucin is rich in hyaluronic acid, which helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
• Healing: Snail mucin contains glycoproteins and antimicrobial peptides that help to soothe and repair damaged skin.
• Anti-aging: Snail mucin contains allantoin, which promotes cell turnover and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

As for its safety for pregnant women, there is limited research on the use of snail mucin during pregnancy. While snail mucin is a natural ingredient and is generally considered safe for use on the skin, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before using any skincare product while pregnant or breastfeeding. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to the health of you and your baby.
