Hey guys!
So the Company 'dr.organic' has sent me six products from their gorgeous new range containing organic snail gel.
When I first saw the packaging I was a bit nervous.. I mean, SNAIL gel in my facial products but after reading up on the ingredient, it's actually supposed to be so beneficial for your skin and have LOADS of anti-aging benefits.
The Brand
Dr Organic is a brand which is, clearly, an all organic brand. They are 'committed to creating unique, natural products' which give you a beautifully cared for look about your skin without harsh chemicals and additives. They use a lot of Aloe Vera and organic plant oils, butters and extracts as well.
Dr Organic already had a Organic Snail Gel in it's product line and the customer demand increased so much that they brought out these five other products that I will be trialing alongside the gel.
Celebrities such as Britney Spears, Ashley Roberts and Kimberely Wyatt (former PussyCat Dolls) and Kara Tointon all follow this signature line and now you can too.
The Products
The New Snail Gel range contains an ingredient called 'Helix Aspersa Muller', which is what snails use to regenerate it's own shell and skin when it's damaged. They've taken this and blended it with their own blend of natural bio-active ingredients it will hydrate, smooth and firm your skin.
But why snails?
Snail farmers in Chile noticed that after days of handling these critters that their hands where incredibly soft, and fast healing. The mad scientists in labs then took this and ran with it. Their secretions (the snail's, not the scientists) contained high levels of allantoin, collagen, elastin and anti-bacterial substances. These are all great on human skin for soothing and purifying effects.
