Shivora's Ethical Harvesting: Kind to Snails, Great for Skin
A major concern about snail mucin is ethical sourcing. At Shivora, we ensure:
- Natural Harvest: Snails live in their natural environment and secrete mucin on their own, without any harm or forced extraction.
- Ethical and Sustainable: No snails are injured, and they are safely returned to their habitat after collection.
- Clinically Tested: Every batch is checked for safety, potency, and effectiveness.
