Elicina to launch restorative snail cream skincare line on Amazon

Elicina is set to launch its existing range of skincare creams on e-commerce platform Amazon.com.

The product range includes Eco Elicina XT Eye Contour Cream, Eco Elicina Nourishing Cream, Eco Elicina Plus Moisturising Cream, Eco Elicina Pocket Moisturising Cream, Eco Elicina Pocket Nourishing Cream and the newly launched Eco Elicina Neck Cream AV.

The products contain 80% snail mucin. Also known as snail extract or snail secretion filtrate, snail mucin is said to contain nutrients that are beneficial for human skin.

It is also claimed to help alleviate skin conditions such as acne, scarring, sun spots and wrinkles, as well as repairs skin damage.

In addition, scientific studies have suggested that snail mucin helps in the production of collagen and elastin through its key ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, proteoglycans and antimicrobial copper peptides.

Elicina general manager Paula Bascunan said: “Elicina products have anti-ageing effects ranging from helping to remove wrinkles and blemishes, to helping repair scar tissue, burns and reducing acne.

“We offer different products for different skin types, creams with added moisturisers such as aloe vera for people with extra-dry skin and hypoallergenic creams for people with sensitive skin. We have something for everyone.”

Elicina further noted that its products are derived from the Helix Aspersa Muller snail of the species Cornu Aspersum, which is found in Chile.
