Snail slime cosmetics hits mainstream U.S. market
- 7 years ago
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — Prepare to be pretty, America. A slimy beauty trend has reached your stores.
The BBC reports that snail secretion filtrate is chock full of collagen, and has anti-aging benefits. The mucus works miracles on skin — just look at the millions of South Koreans with poreless, glowing faces.
Koreans, however, are less into snail therapy these days, having since discovered other weird all-natural ingredients like fermented tea, bee venom, and volcanic ash.
So snail slime is setting its sights on the U.S., where the clientele can hopefully get past the ick factor and give it a go.
According to Bloomberg, Target, Ulta, and CVS have been stocking up, and now have a treasure trove of K-beauty products available for the skincare obsessed.
The feedback has been mostly positive, so the trend could prove to be as ridiculously successful in the States as it was in Asia.
