Our extraction method ensures zero harm and minimal stress to the snails. Slime is naturally secreted during transport or mild environmental changes. We gently place the snails in breathable netted baskets in small batches (about 20 per unit), allowing them to secrete mucin. The secretion is collected without direct handling or stimulation. Snails are then immediately returned to their habitat. Mortality is extremely rare, less than 0.2%, and is usually due to natural aging, not the harvesting process.

Our snail mucin is processed according to Halal standards, ensuring purity, hygiene, and ethical treatment throughout the farming and extraction process. No alcohol, animal by-products, or impure substances are involved. Furthermore, there are no pigs on the property or in the vicinity. Our certification allows us to supply brands that cater to the global Muslim skincare market.

We operate a single local farm where all workers are paid fairly and treated with respect. Our practices align with Fairtrade principles by ensuring decent working conditions, no child labor, and opportunities for local economic development. As we grow, we remain committed to extending these values to future partnerships and satellite farms.

From feed sourcing to packaging, our entire process minimizes environmental impact. We use leftover food streams, without chemicals, and maintain a closed-loop farming system. Our freeze-drying method is energy-efficient, preserving mucin naturally without preservatives, and our packaging is recyclable and QR-coded for traceability. We have also taken great care with our water source. A 100-meter-deep well was dug on-site to access groundwater with an optimal pH level, ensuring the best possible environment for our snails. To guarantee safety and consistency, the water is tested every six months by the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, an internationally recognized health and research organization.

The COSMOS certificate is a global certification for organic and natural cosmetics, ensuring products meet specific standards for ingredients, production, and environmental impact. It is a unified standard created by five leading European certification bodies, ensuring consumers can trust the quality and sustainability of COSMOS-certified products.
