ELICINA CREAM NZ / SOUTH PACIFIC

Rigorous testing of the 'Helix Aspersa Muller' snail secretion found it to contain the most valued ingredients known for the regeneration, healing and protection of human skin. The snail itself can utilise these ingredients to restore its shell if broken. The discovery was made as Chilean snail farmers supplying the French gourmet market noticed dramatically softer skin and rapid healing of minor cuts and scars without infection after handling the snails. ELICINA does not contain any colourings or fragrance and works well under any moisturiser. ELICINA is hypoallergenic and its ingredients are biocompatible, so there is little risk of a sensitive or allergic reaction.

Took 15 years to develop the Snail secretion into a cosmetic repair cream and ELICINA  was patented in the world organazation of patents of Geneva.ELICINA CREAM was launched into the South American cosmetic Market in 1995.

It has not undergone the harsh chemical and physical processing typically used to produce protein supplements. ELICINA CREAM is available in a 40-gram jar. The glycolic acid content in it will gently peel the outer layer of your skin, and for some people this means dryness and a tightening feeling, which can easily be remedy. Just wait about 10 minutes for the cream to be absorbed and then apply on top a moisturizer. Recommended non-comedogenic (not acne prone) moisturizers are: Alboline Lotion, Shepard's Cream, Lubriderm Lotion, Mineral and Petroleum Oil, Safflower and Sunflower Oil.

What does the snail secretion contain?

Allantoin - This has been termed a cell proliferant as this substance makes the regeneration of the skin possible. It is the most effective repairing substance for scar tissue and is also an anti-oxidant, which helps fight off free radicals, which damage skin and speed up the ageing process.

 

Collagen - The structural protein that gives the skin its rigidity and along with Elastin, is a main component of human skin and connective tissue.

 

Elastin - The protein that gives the skin its elasticity. The body slows down its production of elastin once mature, causing the skin to age!

 

Glycolic Acid (1.6%) - enhances natural exfoliation, re-hydrates, inhibits free radicals and also promotes the body's own production of Collagen.

 

Antibiotic Peptides - Protect the skin from environmental stress and are effective against different types of bacteria commonly found in human skin infections. The peptides destroy the pathogens present on the surface and in the pores of the skin and act like a protective barrier. Blocking the microbial pathway to the blood stream allows the immune system to heal damage in an environment similar to that in which a broken bone heals inside the body.

 

And most importantly no snails are harmed in the process of secretion collection!
