Are COSRX Snail Mucin products Halal? 

COSRX’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a crowd-pleaser, however what is Snail Mucin? Snail Mucin, also known as snail slime and secretion filtrate, it is a byproduct produced by snails. The slimey goodness which is left behind by snails.

To obtain the snail mucin, African snails are left to roam freely over mesh in a dark and quiet room, so they are not harmed at all during the process.

More information on our Halal friendly skincare can be found on our Halal Skincare blog.

All products will have an expiry date noted on the packaging. For all products except for some products, the shelf life of our products is three years when unopened and stored at room temperature. We have suggested the product be used within 12 months of opening and this is indicated in the 'open jar' symbol.

How do I store COSRX products?

To ensure that your products remain in optimal condition, we recommend storing them in a cool and dry area away from direct heat or sunlight.

Why did Skin Library curate COSRX?

COSRX was a no-brainer for our curation, it wasn’t a want, it was a NEED in the UK. When you think of K-beauty, you can never forget COSRX. Due to the simplicity of its ingredient list, you aren’t overwhelmed, and we found that COSRX was a great brand for beginners in their skincare journey. If in doubt, give COSRX UK a shot and then expand your scope.

We also found that we could not get enough of COSRX’s pimple patches, it solved our issues of not irritating the spots yet also reducing the likeliness of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). A must-have in our emergency kit.

Moreover, the Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser and Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence were the game changers in our skincare routine. The Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser effectively removed dirt and grime, whilst also keeping acne at bay due to the salicylic acid in the formulation, great for those suffering with acne or teenagers. The Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence has an interesting texture which feels sticky at first but is absorbed instantly into the skin. We love the post-slime glow and boost of hydration offered by the magic-like essence.
