How do companies collect snail mucin? How is snail mucin collected? For Cosrx products, snails are placed over a mesh net in a dark and quiet room. As nocturnal creatures, the snails prefer this environment. For about 30 minutes, the snails are left alone to freely roam the net, leaving mucin in their trails. They are not washed in a washing machine or electrocuted.
I really don't buy that story, they have never actually shown anything of that process, just wrote it on their website. Snails don't secrete that much mucin without any type of stimulation so they really can't do it that way while mass producing products with the percentages they claim at the price that they are. The math doesn't add up.
I used to love the Cosrx snail mucin. Until I got these red rashes around my face. And then realised that they stung after applying the cosrx (tested it on just half my face). I stopped the Cosrx and the red patches also disappeared... (this happened after my 3rd? bottle. No clue what happened/changed)
I was pretty sure she actually doesn’t talk about how great HA is. She pretty much always says you don’t need it and takes note to mention when products DONT contain it.
I would love a review of the skincare products sold at Aldi. I learned that they are cruelty free and 100% vegan…not to mention affordable! Just need an expert opinion on if it’s worth my coin or not 😅🦋
Please put out a video dedicated to snail mucin !! I genuinely believe they don’t harm the snails, I don’t think those two methods you mentioned are the only ways to extract snail mucin. Would love a video dedicated to the research
The channel called mad about skin actually has a video where he links an entire video that was made on the history of extracting snail mucin to current day extraction and it is disturbing but informative. It shows the machines they use to stimulate the snails to release the mucin and everything I would definitely recommend watching it if you’re curious like I was! *** mad about skin didn’t make the video he just linked it ***
The Ordinary's Buffet + Cu peptides is a pretty blue volor too💗🦋💗🦋much stickier, but prettyful too! 💗🦋And the Biossance is $68, Im thinking I'll live with the sticky for $30😉💗🦋💗🦋Love you🥰
And the Ordinary's Buffet + Cu peptides does have hyaluronic acid sodium hyaluronate and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and glycerin with Urea and a bunch of ine's (like glycine) and ose's (like glucose)💗🦋
Hi just wanted to give a little info on the snails if I may?, The snails actually aren’t harmed at all while collecting their secretion because if they are under stress or any kind of harm when they secrete their slime it’s actually highly toxic and not what we want for a face the snail secretion that they collect for the serums is actually very humane and they let them roam naturally in the dark unharmed and on stressed. It’s actually quite amazing! So feel free to use it.
She just doesnt use any animal derived or animal produced products because she is vegan and cruelty free. I personally think it's a bit extra but that is her values.
Can you give any credible sources for that info? All I could find is that it is true for certain types of snails which are as a result are not used for food or cosmetics or the filtrate is purified of said harmful chemical compounds.
Dr Dray actually talked about the snail mucin extraction are cruelty free because they don't harm the snail on the process of secretion because if they harm them on the process they will secrete harmful type of mucin instead.
Snail slime or mucen is generally collected by keeping snails in a dark room and having them slide along a surface that can collect their slime, such as glass or mesh.
They wouldn't collect nearly enough that way. And it is not the typical way of extraction, that's a fairy tail cosrx specifically are trying to sell you.
If snails are unhappy they give off a almost toxic mucin so regular snail mucin is from happy snails. I would, however, never use snail mucin just because I think it's gross.
Can you give any credible sources for that info? I was trying to dig into that but all I found was that it is the case for certain types of snails which are as a result never used for food or cosmetics.

So i am also a fan of biossance copper peptides serum and it’s definitely expensive, BUT it’s almost 2 oz. 1.8 or something like that. They DID release a limited edition that’s ONLY $30 and same size as the ordinary one (1oz). So I would just get two of those and it would be cheaper than the larger bottle. I used to think the ordinary was cheaper too then I realized the size difference.
I am 69 and love watching your videos. I have learned so much and my skin is already much better than it was. I use tretinoin cream at night and would like to know what I can and can’t use with it.
Love you so much cass and you are so beautiful but I have to watch this with my eyes closed because the audio is freaking me out 😂 please review Azaani skin care from India, I really think you will like! Lots of love xx❤
hii cass! would definitely like to know what you think of phyto stem cells used topically on skin. because i hear its pretty good but not many products have it. thank you always!
Hi, I’m not sure if you have reviewed Paulas choice before but I was interested on your thoughts, especially the new pro collagen multi peptide serum that is pink a claims you see results in 15 minutes
I absolutely love and appreciate the content you put out & your advice, but the thumbnails with your Dr. Idriss’s skincare reaction video & this one feel a little off/misleading. As a derm, and especially Dr. Idriss, she is another amazing skincare expert.
Wait until the xmas gift packs come into stock. You can snag a bargain that way. Most of the time, you can get a cream + other bits for same price as just the cream. That's how i got my peptide serum😂
@@mea9160 That's how i bought my first Biossance products, in the xmas gift set. Where I went wrong was only buying one 😁. I bought my second bottle during a 20% off sale, and I paid full price for my 3rd bottle. I'll be prepared to buy multiplies next time there's a sale, or maybe I'll give The Ordinary a try. That $38/$123 price difference leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
she made quite a few mistakes in the video. its actually $68 usd (she said it earlier) then said its $38 - but yes i wish it was cheaper here in aus :(
35 for a lip plumper , hard pass lol looks neat though. I'd like to try the biosaance but paying 88$ for one product hurts my soul. I love the vegreen cica serum so I might try the other one. I need something for dark spots though
I have a future video request if you would please consider it. I would love to have you cover in a series of videos the meostherapy asian skin trend and the boosters they use. There are so many and even a variety of ways to do mesotherapy and push the ingredients into the skin. It seems like such a great approach for more serious skin conditions to solve the issue of certain ingredients not traveling well through the skin barrier. Also, why Dubai? Isn’t Dubai veeery problematic and unfriendly to lgbtqia+? Why give them your time and money via tourism?
Hey ! You mentioned the great Advanced snail mucin 96 by CosrX. Here’s what the brand says on the serumbottle about the way they deal with snails : “NO snails were injured: Snail mucine is obtained in a safe and environmentally friendly way in the preferred environment of snails, then it is transformed into a cosmetic material. 100% natural, hypoallergenic, tested under dermatological control.”
Hi Cassandra. I came across an Ad in facebook with you in it. I am not quite sure if that is you or they are just using your videos in one advertising a misleading product. I can't paste my screenshot here though.
Cassandra bankson.. I need your help. I have recently developed a salicylic acid allergy, what acid can I use that will help my acne that isn't a salicylate as I am having problems with that ingredient in my spf now as well . 😢
You said snail mucin and yam mucin are basically the same molecule... can you elaborate specifically what the molecule you are talking about is. You give an example of bottled water = tap water because H2O = H2O, but you can't just say mucin = mucin... I can say my mucus is also mucin. Doesn't really work the same way in my opinion.
The thumbnail is so misleading. I don’t think it’s nice, it has no connection to what she says in the video and it always implies she’ll judge Dr. Idriss. The reaction to the nighttime routine was the same. Also…Dr. Idriss says the exact opposite of hialuronic acid is a great hydrator:)) she always avoids it
I thought the snails had to be happy to produce that mucin???? I didn't know they were electrocuted .. I thought they crawled on met things and the slime just gathered as they lived their lives.... I feel like the worst person in the world..... I always use the cosrx snail mucin.... I didn't know =[[[
The snails actually aren't harmed at all while collecting their secretion because if they are under stress or any kind of harm when they secrete their slime it's actually highly toxic and not what we want for a face the snail secretion that they collect for the serums is actually very humane and they let them roam naturally in the dark unharmed and on stressed.

@@LotusesGalaxyOcean I think she did actually, if you investigate deeper than what cosrx simply claim on their website you will find that it is not plausible and the snail industry just does not work that way.
The Dose of Wisdom serum has the beneficial ingredients under the fragrance !!! Not quite sure how you can recommend it to be honest ! A company who puts a value on fragrance more than the beneficial ingredients in my book does not deserve any praise . People are paying for pitiful amounts of active ingredients .
Everyone please note, the Dose of Wisdom contains *alcohol* , aka isopropyl alcohol, aka SD40 alcohol, and fragrance. These are NOT good ingredients for the skin! Sorry Cassandra, I'm not giving you a thumbs up on this video because you recommended the Dose of Wisdom product. "Turn and Learn!"
The philosophy serum also has the fragrance at the top third of the serum ! The decent ingredients are all under fragrance ! That’s just not normal and these days you would think a skin care company would know better . The beneficial ingredients are obviously in such tiny tiny amounts. Very unimpressed with this serum should not be recommended at all
I think Dr.Idriss doesn't really like hyaluronic acid. Actually, she avoids it in most products!
She really does prefer glycerin. Even has a thumbnail or title that says my love affair with glycerin 😂😂😂
I wanted to say that too. She does not like HA
Was wanting to say the same thing! She actively avoids it because she feels it causes inflammation
Same here
Yes, that's true, she hates it!

The sound matches for me. Perhaps UA-cam was still rendering the video.
That Biossance serum is $88 dollars in Canada 😆 so not for me lol.
The ordinary serum is around $38 so a bit closer to the $30 American price.
Thank you for promoting cruelty-free products! 👏🏻 Kindness is true beauty 💝

I think her view is that it’s an animal product or by product and suffering or not, she’s choosing not to use something like that.

I waited until tonight to watch bkz of audio being off. All better now. Good video. Thank you
Thanks for the fun video! (I do think that Dr Shereene Idriss really dislikes HA… ) but in any case, I enjoy peptides content a lot :)
