Back to the drawing board Wiz.

Always be sure to read the ingredients.

“Slug mucus” – not as sexy as potassium hydroxide, glyceryl hydroxystearate and octyldodecyl myristate. (All emolients in Oil of Olay.)

Hey! have you ever seen a slug with dry skin, don’t knock stuff that works ;)

going all dewey in the pits just thinking about it

Call it “Nectar Molluscae” or “Spiritus Molluscae”, and everybody wants it …

Right.

Essence d’escargot?

sounds like something Andrew Zimmern of Bizzare Foods would try……

Actually with all the insane things some women go through for the sake of “beauty” slug mucus doesn’t sound all bad.

He just needs to learn marketing…

Just call it ‘Moisturizing Lotion’. Women will lap it up. Wait….maybe I should reword that.

Actually, they have been used for facials…check this out!

peh, all it needs is rebranding. my wife uses some stuff they use on cow teats.

Heh heh heh! I like that!

A real treasure in nature with multiple valuable properties, the snail is an ancient beauty secret of the Mapuche women (indigenous tribe in the Andes in Chile), who use the snail’s mucus for its regenerative properties. They collect the snails, rinse them and then apply them directly to the skin. Studied by a team of Chilean researchers and doctors, the mucus of the Helix aspersa can now be found among the ingredients of numerous skin creams.

I’d rather use that than placenta!!!
