Re: Snail secrection in my makeup

Isn't this ingredient called Squaline?   I found it too disgusting to envision using.   I wonder if products with this ingredient are on anti cruelty lists.    I will look up the information on this.

I had no idea, and no I've not read the ingredients.

 

No wonder I love this stuff so much.

Squaline is made from Olive oil and is very good for your face. The way that this slime is collected must be not harmful or Jamie wouldn't use it.

I've heard of save the whales, but save the snails? Having them make a little slime is less harmful to them than having them for lunch as escargot!

FYI: Neither squalene nor the related squalane have anything to do with snail secretion.
