She chose the the Mizon brand of snail cream for the Peach and Lily lineup because it continues to be the best selling snail cream in Korea. We spoke with Korean beauty expert and Peach and Lily Founder Alicia Yoon who explained that snail slime has made “leaps and bounds” in Korea since its original introduction into the skincare market. In case you’re concerned, all of the slime is harvested in a snail-friendly laboratory environment. The slime is packed with nutrients like hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, antimicrobial peptides, and proteoglycans (fillers that plump). Snail cream is made from the secretion snails leave behind when they move, scooped up and purified into a powder. Given the international buzz, we decided it was time for Charlotte’s Book to take the leap and do our first Korean skincare product review. We tried two of the Mizon frontrunners: Snail Repair Hydro Mist and Black Snail All-In-One Cream. The Mizon brand and its snail slime products have achieved a massive cult status in Korea, with Mizon’s All-In-One Snail Repair Cream selling millions across Asia. In other words, these odd ingredients-snail secretions, maple water, starfish extract-are backed not only by scientific research, but by rigorous consumer testing and feedback. According to Alicia Yoon, founder of Peach and Lily Skincare, “Many brands have told us that because consumers’ expectations and thoughts about beauty brands/products are so quickly shared with each other, they constantly innovate to create more memorable and popular beauty products.” In addition, Korea has several high-technology social platforms with super-connected digital communities, resulting in hugely prolific online beauty conversations. Yes, you read that right: the Korean government is one of the biggest benefactors in this research.

What you might not know is that snail slime and other Korean skincare ingredients are supported by some serious R&D. Skincare in Korea is an integral part of the culture-your complexion is a treasured possession and regimens focus on prevention and skin fortification. As a result, Korea has produced some of the most cutting edge R&D labs in the world, supported by government funding. Earlier this year, Charlotte’s Book wrote about Erasa XEP-30, dubbed “botox in a jar”, which is based on a synthesized neurotoxin originally found in snails. And now derivatives of snail slime are making their way into U.S. A quick google search of the words “Mizon,” “Snail Slime,” or “Korean Skincare” will bring up a countless blog posts, YouTube videos, and beauty articles from every well known glossy magazine and beauty website across the globe.
