From Earth to Skin: The Ethical Journey of Our Snail Slime

A journey that begins from nature

Every ingredient tells a story. In the case of our snail slime, it's a story of respect, sustainability, and authentic skincare. But have you ever wondered what the journey is that takes such a precious active ingredient from the earth to your beauty routine?

On our organic, natural-cycle farm, everything begins with a healthy, uncontaminated environment, where the snails live according to their natural rhythm. There are no intensive farms, pesticides, or invasive methods: just time, patience, and an ethical production philosophy that guarantees the highest quality.

Farming: well-being comes first

Our snails are raised outdoors, fed organic vegetables and without any kind of force. Their habitat is designed to ensure the animal's well-being, respecting its entire life cycle.

This approach translates into a concrete advantage for the quality of the slime: less stress for the snails means a purer and more concentrated composition of active ingredients such as allantoin, natural collagen, glycolic acid and regenerating peptides.

Cruelty-free extraction: a gentle and ethical method

One of the biggest concerns surrounding the use of snail slime in cosmetics concerns the extraction method. At Demetra Rimini, we've chosen a completely cruelty-free approach.

How does it work? We use a process that gently stimulates the snails without causing them any harm or stress. This method, which respects their well-being, allows us to collect the highest-quality slime, preserving all of its extraordinary properties.

Unlike industrial farms, where snails are aggressively handled, our system is designed to preserve their natural balance. This not only guarantees a pure and potent ingredient, but is also a conscious choice for a more sustainable future.

From snail slime to the final cosmetic: a short and controlled supply chain

After extraction, the snail slime is immediately filtered and purified to best preserve its active ingredients. Our production process is entirely controlled, from harvesting to cosmetic formulation, to ensure maximum transparency and quality.

Unlike many companies that import slime from external suppliers, we manage every step in-house. This means we can guarantee a final product with an optimal concentration of active ingredients, without compromising on quality or ethics.

Why choose ethical snail slime?

When you buy a cosmetic product, you're choosing much more than just a cream: you're choosing an entire production philosophy. Choosing cosmetics made with ethically sourced snail slime means supporting a sustainable model that respects the environment and animal welfare.

We believe that beauty should have no negative impact on nature. That's why our farming, extraction methods, and supply chain are designed to offer you the best, without compromise.

Now that you know the journey of our snail slime, are you ready to make an informed choice for your skin?
