Of course it's cleaned. That's like saying fish contain parasites. They can, but that's why there's proper ways to process fish to prevent that. Mainly, they're farmed snails so they're tested and controlled.
It's the snail trail, they have them move over a mesh and collect the mucin from the mesh.
Snails have been eaten by humans for thousands of years, but thankfully extracting their mucin doesn't involve killing the snail. Methods of mucin harvesting vary between manufacturer, so since we stock COSRX we're detailing how they do it.
COSRX extract the mucin from Giant African Land Snails which can grow up to 4cm long. They have been tested to make sure they are safe for humans. The snails are farmed rather than wild for quality purposes.
Farmed Snails
To collect the mucin the snails are left to glide over a mesh in a darkened room, and the mucin is collected from the mesh once the snails have been removed. The snails are then put back on the farm to graze. The mucin is processed into a filtrate and then into the finished product.
While the snail's are reported to be treated well it certainly doesn't qualify as vegan. For an in-depth look at the ethics of snail mucin harvesting read Gaby De Valle's comprehensive article published in The Outline. "
This is a fabulous product imo. It's got snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, allantoin, panthenol, and is especially good for those with sensitive skin who want a lightweight, clean formula that still hydrates well.
This is typically the only time of the year you can get this at this price. It's 7 oz and even with 30% off now at cosrx.com, it's like $20 cheaper than the closest deal (unless you're looking at an Asian skin care shop, where those discounts are frequent but you typically have to pay for shipping if you're ordering just one item etc.).

It's a trendy ingredient in Korean skincare. And as we know, Koreans and Japanese have the best skin, so there's probably something to it.
"Snail mucin is a trendy ingredient in skin care products. More research is needed, but it may help hydrate skin, improve acne, and lessen the appearance of scarring and other damage. It also may help heal wounds. It's available in many types of skin products, including moisturizers and serums. You may want to do a patch test on your skin before applying a product with snail mucin to your face, especially if you have sensitive skin."

Is that snail slime? Some say that snails carry parasites, I hope it's cooked or something. I'd hate to see how they extract whatever that is from snails

Thank you. Lots of "maybes" in there and more research is needed
Yeah. Webmd is pretty conservative though, as it's a medical thing. There is plenty out there about anecdotal evidence (the best kind haha, jk). Anyways, it's been big for the last few years, and in Asia before that, so there's probably something to it.

Just got 3 more - got 2 before and it's an excellent light moisturizer. For price no brainer compared to much more expensive ones (was in the industry before). Bonus that it's a decent hair gel for way cheaper.
