Snail mucin has become one of the most recognised ingredients in Korean skincare thanks to its ability to support a hydrated, smooth-looking complexion. The KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Essence Snail Mucin 97% + Rice contains snail secretion filtrate listed first at 970,000 ppm.
Beyond snail mucin, the essence includes a carefully selected group of supporting ingredients. Sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, and panthenol help maintain skin comfort, while rice-derived ingredients such as rice seed extract, rice seed water, and rice ferment filtrate (sake) add another traditional Korean skincare component.
The lightweight, slightly slippery texture absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, allowing it to layer easily with serums, moisturisers and sunscreen. With only 16 ingredients and no added fragrance, this essence is designed for simple, ingredient-focused routines.
This essence works well for dry, normal, combination, and sensitive-feeling skin. However, it is not suitable for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients because it contains snail secretion filtrate.
