What species of snail can be used for cosmetic purposes?
Apparently, helix aspersa or the common garden snail is already used for face creams. (The natural secretions of the snail Helix Aspersa Müller contain Allantoin combined with natural antibiotics, glycolic acid, collagen, elastin, and other proteins and vitamins in a natural bio-compatible form. source: http://www.abate-stretch-marks.com/hervi-allantoin.htm) Do other snail species, more specifically the African snails, (Acathina) also contain these substances in their slime? So can all other snail species be used for cosmetic purposes and not only the common garden snail?
i’m specifically interested in knowng whether Acathina species can beused.
It’s a species that originated in Poland. It can be used as Snail Polish.
It’s in the Bible.
