*** 12-September 2017: HSW has been reformulated. Both Paraben and Phenoxyethanol versions now no longer have coconut or xanthan gum, reducing the tacky sensation as well as the odor.
Holy Snail Water is a hydrating serum that contains 5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and 3% N-Acetyl Glucosamine, which work together synergistically to fight hyperpigmentation.
Holy Snail Water was created to be an alternative to our Shark Sauce, due to popular demand as some customers have allergies to the sea kelp, hyaluronic acid, or other ingredients found there. To be the shop's eponymous product though, it has to be more than just an alternative. It has to be amazing on its own. So in it, we have put hydrating humectants such as Aloe Vera Juice, Gluconolactone, and Sodium PCA, brightening and soothing extracts such as Ginseng and Horse Chestnut, and, of course, Snail Mucin Extract.
Please note that while the Phenoxyethanol version of Holy Snail Water is formulated without parabens, we strongly believe that parabens are a safe and effective class of preservatives, and we will continue to use them in our current and future products where they are appropriate.

Please always patch test any new products. Our products have very concentrated ingredients, so please patch test to make sure you do not have any sensitivities to any of them. This product does not cause purging, so if you experience breakouts or irritation, please discontinue use. There is a Sample/Travel Sized version to try if you are unsure of your ingredient sensitivities.
How to Use: Apply several drops to cleansed face in serum/ampoule step. Follow with moisturizer. If using with other Holy Snails products, this should go on after Snowbang Essence and before El Dorado Oil Serum or Perseids Oil.
This product does not contain any photosensitizing ingredients, but the most vital and effective anti-aging step in your routine will always be sunscreen. Please always use (the correct amount of) sunscreen for best results in fading hyperpigmentation and anti-aging.
