Shea Butter – 10ml Hyaluronic Acid – Snail Mucin

• Shea Butter:

Shea butter is extracted by pressing the kernels of the Butyrospermum parkii, a tree native to West-Central Africa. Characterized by a thick, creamy texture, this butter has a very high content of oleic and linoleic acid, and a rich unsaponifiable fraction including vitamins A and E, sterols, cinnamic acid esters, and triterpenes, which provide its antioxidant, emollient, moisturizing, and protective properties for skin and hair. Its nourishing and protective qualities make it ideal for treating extremely dry or irritated skin, dermatitis, burns, and chapping.

• Hyaluronic Acid:

Hyaluronic acid is the main component of the dermal extracellular matrix, providing resilience and elasticity. By binding water molecules, it retains them within the matrix and reduces moisture loss, helping to prevent or treat wrinkles and signs of aging. Cutaneous stress and photo-aging often cause hyaluronic acid levels in the dermis to decrease. This results in a loss of skin elasticity and tone, manifesting as wrinkles. Our medium and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid provides a dual action: 1. Medium M.W. Hyaluronic Acid: acts on the surface to ensure effective hydration; 2. Low M.W. Hyaluronic Acid: penetrates deeper layers to fill spaces between collagen and elastin fibers, reducing wrinkle depth for a filling and plumping effect while smoothing the skin surface.

• Snail mucin:

Pure microfiltered Organic Snail Mucin is an extract of the secretions released by snails (Helix aspersa) during movement via specialized glands. To obtain a high-quality secretion, all snails are raised in Italy and fed with organically grown vegetables. Furthermore, the non-invasive extraction method involves gentle mechanical stimulation as they pass over nets, inducing secretion without causing stress or sacrificing the snails. This natural elixir is a concentrate of functional substances with a complex composition, rich in allantoin, elastin, collagen, glycolic acid, lactic acid, vitamins, and amino acids.
