It might seem like the cosmetics industry is losing credibility with the latest findings they are trying to push on us with regard to skin care. A skin cream made with snail serum might seem pretty ridiculous.

Well, it turns out that mucin, or the secretion of the Helix Aspersa Muller, is organically similar to the composition of our skin. Under pressure, this land snail secretes a viscous fluid that protects, moisturizes, repairs and regenerates its skin and shell. Luck also has it that this secretion, when used on human skin, has similar healing and rejuvenating actions, hence why it is now being used in skin creams, especially of the scar treatment variety.

Helix Aspersa Muller Secretions: The Compound

The compound is a complex one made of many molecular structures, including proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, enzymes, peptides and oligoelements. Together, these molecular structures provide all-around skin rejuvenation, serving as a treatment for not only scars, but dry skin, rosacea, acne, age spots and more.

Regenerative and Protective Actions

Mucin stimulates fibroblast growth, according to a study that delved into the molecular basis for this secretion's regenerative properties. Fibroblasts are the cells that synthesize the precursors of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and collagen, the main protein of connective tissue. Collagen is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation is what leads to the wrinkles we associate with aging.

Additionally, enzymes found in mucin help reconstruct the skin matrix by better reorganizing and stimulating collagen and elastin fiber growth. These enzymes are also responsible for digesting extra skin cells. These extra skin cells include dead skin that causes that lackluster appearance of your skin or that, when mixed with sebum, tend to clog pores and cause an acne breakout. This extra skin can also be the collagen that is the principle protein in scar tissue. Mucin enzymes dissolve away damaged proteins and give off the amino acids that are needed to rebuild tissue. As mucin has multiple enzymatic actions, it is proving itself a very useful scar treatment ingredient.

Research from this study also proves the antioxidant abilities of the secretion. Antioxidants are chemicals that protect cells by neutralizing free radicals, formed by both external and internal factors. Free radicals are byproducts of the body's use of oxygen that cause significant damage to the skin and other tissues. Firstly, free radicals have an unpaired electron in the outer orbital, causing the molecule to be less stable. Free radicals will do anything to pair the last electron, even resorting to acquiring electrons from other molecules important to the skin. A chain reaction results, with different molecules desperate to pair their outer electron, leaving the molecular composition of the skin thoroughly damaged. They can also cause the mutation of one's DNA, resulting in even more bodily harm.

Furthermore, mucin provides hyaluronic acid which improves the dermis' capacity to absorb and hold water, providing dry skin relief from the inside out. Not only is dry skin addressed but with improved moisture abilities come enhanced volume, strength and elasticity of the skin.

To conclude, mucin is a successful natural scar treatment that stimulates the regeneration of the skin. It speeds up the healing process and minimizes scar tissue formation. Lastly, its enzymatic actions also remove the extra scar tissue that might have formed before discovering this miracle serum.

BIO SKIN CARE takes advantage of the skin rejuvenating and healing properties of the mucin secreted by the Helix Aspersa Muller. As it promotes the turnover rate of skin cells, BIO SKIN CARE is a successful skin and facial scar cream. Enzymes break down excess collagen that makes up keloid and hypertrophic scars and promotes skin protein proliferation that levels the depressions caused by acne scars. BIO SKIN CARE skin cream also acts as a treatment for dark spots formed by acne or excess sun exposure by evening out skin tone. BIO SKIN CARE is a comprehensive solution for your scar and other skin ailments.
