Description
In 1980 a Chilean family established a snail farm with the intention of exporting snails to Europe for gastronomic purposes. Butthe family discovered that when handling the snails, hands became extremely soft. Little injuries caused by the snail cages healed quickly without becoming infected and they didn't leave scars. As snails can regenerate their own shell when diseased or damaged, the workersrealized that what restores a snail's shell could also repair human skin.
Observing this, Dr. Fernando Bascunan, the eldest son of the family, directed a rigorous scientific study about the properties of Chilean snail secretions. The results of the study confirmed that the secretion of this snail species has an extraordinary regenerative capacity on human skin. This led to snail secretion being used in skincare.
