Dr. Organic’s Snail Gel

Harvested from free-roaming snails under controlled conditions, this moisturising, soothing ingredient combines the unique properties of Helix Aspersa Muller with organic Aloe vera and a blend of bioactive plant ingredients. This secretion is produced from snails that are farmed humanely and are free to roam. On their travels, they move over glass panels which are used to safely collect the mucus secretion, which is then filtered and concentrated by vacuum evaporation to reduce its water content, before a mild preservative is added to maintain its shelf life.

Free-roaming snails... not wise. When the French eat snails, they either farm them inside, or they gather them from the wild and then keep them inside for some time on a controlled diet to let all the toxins leave their bodies. Out in nature, they get up to all sorts of things that aren't good for us.
