Shivora's Ethical Harvesting: Kind to Snails, Great for Skin

A major concern about snail mucin is ethical sourcing. At Shivora, we ensure:

Stress-Free Collection – Snails roam freely in a natural habitat and secrete mucin naturally (no harm or forced extraction).

Cruelty-Free & Sustainable – No snails are injured, and they are returned to their environment after collection.

Lab-Tested Purity – Every batch is tested for potency and safety.

The Natural Skincare Revolution: Why Snail Mucin Is the Future

Consumers are shifting towards clean, science-backed skincare, and snail mucin fits perfectly because:

100% Natural Yet Powerful – Works as effectively as lab-made actives (like retinol & hyaluronic acid).

Suitable for All Skin Types – Gentle enough for sensitive skin yet effective for acne, aging, and dryness.

Sustainable Beauty – Unlike synthetic ingredients, it’s biodegradable and eco-friendly.

1. Hyaluronic Acid: Nature's Moisture Magnet

Our research shows snail mucin contains hyaluronic acid molecules that are 3x more effective at binding water than synthetic versions. This explains its incredible hydrating properties.

2. Copper Peptides: The Collagen Boosters

These rare compounds stimulate fibroblast activity, increasing collagen production by up to 40% according to our clinical trials.

3. Allantoin: The Soothing Superhero

Shovira Natural's tests reveal our mucin contains 12% more allantoin than standard formulations, making it exceptionally calming for irritated skin.
