Snail mucus is a popular and very powerful ingredient that is used in many Korean beauty products. It has been proven to provide a lot of moisture, has excellent brightening properties and anti-aging effects. However, snail mucus extract products are not vegan even if animal welfare has not been affected.

VEGREEN Nature Mucin products, which contain wild yam, are an excellent vegan alternative to snail mucin products.

What is wild yam?

Wild yam is best known as an ingredient in women's health. Wild yam is a herb that forms a thick tuber underground. This tuber serves as a repository and contains valuable plant ingredients. Hence the name "yam root".

Yam grows mainly in Central and South America and prefers humid locations.

In South America, in particular, yam root is a staple food, just like potatoes in our country. Yam extract is also a popular remedy for women's health and is used for menopausal complaints. Usually only hormones help with nervous excitement, discomfort, etc., and yam root can help in a natural way.

Wild yam in skin care - phytomucin VEGREEN

The VEGREEN Nature Mucin range takes advantage of the benefits of snail mucus, but without snail mucus. The so-called "Fitomucin" is obtained from the root of wild yam and is in no way inferior to the filtrate of snail mucus. Phytomucin is a slightly viscous liquid component of the yam root. Vegan mucin is effective in wound healing and strengthens the skin barrier while providing intense hydration.

VEGREEN Non-Alcoholic Natural Mucin Toner contains 68% phytomucin from wild yam root and is therefore a particularly soothing and moisturizing first step after cleansing. The skin is directly supplied with concentrated moisture and is optimally prepared for the following products.

We then recommend VEGREEN Natural Fragrance Free Mucin Serum. It contains 63% mucin from wild yam root, as well as panthenol (provitamin B5) and ceramides, which further strengthen the skin barrier and increase skin vitality.

The serum contains no artificial fragrances, mineral oils or parabens, and no harmful alcohols, silicones or silicone oils. Thanks to phytomucin, it also contains no animal ingredients.

So if you are looking for a vegan alternative to snail slime, you should definitely try VEGREEN products because they combine the best of nature without any animal ingredients.
