About this material
Snail Secretion Filtrate – 90% Grade (Snail Secretion Filtrate) is an Animal-derived filtrate supplied by MakeYourSkin as a liquid for professional cosmetic formulation. A Korean-beauty staple, it is valued for conditioning, barrier positioning.
What is Snail Secretion Filtrate – 90% Grade?
Snail Secretion Filtrate – 90% Grade is supplied under the INCI / technical name Snail Secretion Filtrate.
It belongs to the Animal-derived filtrate group and is derived from helix aspersa secretion. The material reaches you as a liquid. It is an established cosmetic raw material with mature supply and well-understood formulation behaviour.
Key Properties & Benefits
- Conditioning
- Barrier positioning
- Supplied cosmetic grade with a Certificate of Analysis for every batch.
Uses & Applications
Snail Secretion Filtrate – 90% Grade is used in barrier creams, ceramide moisturisers, post-procedure recovery products, sensitive-skin lotions, cleansing balms and overnight masks.
Typical applications from the catalogue record: Essences, creams, masks.
In leave-on skincare it is normally dosed into a serum, ampoule or moisturiser where contact time is long enough for the claim to hold up. In rinse-off formats it is used at a lower level for label presence and sensory contribution rather than measurable performance. In Korean and Japanese formats it suits essences, toner pads, sheet-mask serums and lightweight gel-creams, where thin, layerable textures are the norm.
Handling note: Supplied ready to dose; check the active content on the technical data sheet, because liquid grades are usually dilutions.
How to Use — Recommended Use Level
| Typical use level | 1–10% (often 3–5%) |
|---|---|
| Recommended pH | 4.0–7.0 |
| Addition phase | Water phase, cool-down |
| Solubility | Water-soluble. Disperse into the water phase with stirring; avoid prolonged high heat where the material is heat-sensitive. |
General rule: always begin at the lower end of the range, confirm the level against the supplier technical data sheet, and validate stability, pH, colour, odour and preservative efficacy on the finished formulation before scaling up.

Technical Notes
Grade and filtration level vary enormously between suppliers; specify solids content.
Regulatory Note
Animal-derived material. Confirm species, collection method, microbial specification, preservative system and animal-welfare documentation. Not suitable for vegan positioning. Some markets apply additional controls to animal-origin cosmetic ingredients.
Supplier diligence required: Species/source/allergen/animal-origin review.
Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.

How to work with it
The specification's Add at row is the one to read first. Water-phase materials added to a hot oil phase are the most common reason a batch separates.
Measure the finished product, not the premix. Outside the range the activity drops away and, for some materials, the degradation route is what causes complaints.
Then work up through stability and compatibility testing. Higher is not better, and the destination market's limit may sit below your formulation ceiling.
