Snail secretion filtrate has become a popular ingredient in the skincare industry due to its numerous benefits for the skin. However, before it can be used in skincare products, the snail secretion must go through a filtration process to remove impurities and ensure that only the beneficial components are used.
How Agropecsol filters snail secretion
The processing plant of Agropecsol was designed according to GMP (good manufacturing practices) principles, to ensure product safety and quality. Our process to obtain the secretion of the gastropod is through a controlled physical stimulation, which does not generate any damage to the animal.
We collect the snails on the south and north coast of Lima (Perú). These areas have a temperate climate, ideal for the permanent reproduction of the specimens. To do this, we work with associated and trained collectors, to provide snails from farms near Lima.
Our product is registered in the European Union TRACES system and is also supervised by
SENASA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria del Perú), the peruvian public entity that allows the export. We are also included in the INCI registration (International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient)
What are the main stages of snail secretion filtering?
In this paragraph, we’ll explore the stages of snail secretion filtering and what the final texture of the filtered snail secretion looks like.
Stage 1: Collection and Purge
The first stage of snail secretion filtering is the collection of the snail. Snails are placed in a controlled environment where they are purged on some days. This is useful to obtain a better final product.
Stage 2: Washing and Selection
The second stage of snail secretion filtering is the washing and selection of the snails. These animals are carefully washed to avoid any damage to the final product, and verify that they will pass the extraction.
Stage 3: Extraction
After selection, snails are stimulated for extracting the slime manually. This process avoids unnecessary damage to the animals.
Stage 4: Filtration
In this stage, we remove any remaining impurities of the snail secretion and assuring the safety of the final product.
Stage 5: Packing
Once the snail secretion has been filtrated, we pack the final product in different containers.
Stage 6: Quality Control
To ensure that the final product is safe for use in skincare products, we make a microbiological and chemical-physical analysis of the production batch.
What is the final texture of the snail secretion filtrate like?
After a thorough filtration process, the final texture of snail secretion filtrate is a clear liquid with a slightly thick consistency.
The filtered snail secretion is easy to incorporate into a formulation, making it ideal for use in skincare products. The color of the final product is yellow ocher and the aspect is a transparent liquid.
Despite its unique origins, the final texture of snail secretion filtrate is surprisingly pleasant to the touch, and it is easy to see why it has become such a popular ingredient in the skincare industry.
Benefits of using Helix Aspersa Snails
Due to their numerous benefits, Helix Aspersa snails are becoming increasingly popular in the health and beauty industry. The secretion of these snails, also known as snail secretion filtrate, is packed with nutrients and minerals that can help to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.
Snail secretion properties have been found to be beneficial for treating a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, wrinkles, and sun damage. It can also help to reduce inflammation, promote cell regeneration and improve skin elasticity and hydration levels.
In addition to this, snail secretion filtrate has antibacterial properties which make it a great choice for fighting off bacteria-related skin problems such as acne breakouts.
Overall, Helix Aspersa snails offer a natural way to improve your skin’s health and appearance without the use of harsh chemicals or expensive treatments.
Therefore, Helix Aspersa snails are important members of many ecosystems around the world, and their unique characteristics and abilities have made them a valuable resource for the skincare industry.
In conclusion, filtering of snail secretion is a crucial process in the production of snail-based skincare products. The stages of filtration include collection, filtration, clarification, concentration, and sterilization.
The final texture of the filtered snail secretion is a clear, viscous liquid with a slightly thick consistency. Understanding the filtration process can help you appreciate the effort and care that goes into producing high-quality snail secretion skincare products.
