Our Story | mucin-a

We are a team of British dermal scientists pioneering a new skin repair standard:

potent natural nourishment in a clean, minimalist formula.

Why do Italians live so long?

Maybe it’s the sunshine. Some say the olive oil.
Personally, we think it's to do with the art of simplicity, of balance.
Quality over quantity. Fewer ingredients, more flavour.
And it’s not just the people...
50km south of Rome, a farm of snails spend their days basking in the Mediterranean sun.
Unlimited food, no stress, no predators. They live slowly – and well.
Their mucin is rarer and richer than any other we've tested; rich in bioactive compounds like peptides, ceramides, collagen, elastin – things our skin loses with age.
Perfect, we agreed, to put in a regenerative formula for maturing skin that needs nourishment.
After extensive testing, we balanced it with niacinamide, squalane, and just six more ingredients for complete skin support.
Fewer ingredients, more impact.
mucin-a is the lovechild of British clinical excellence and the Italian arts of simplicity & balance.

Our Commitment to Safe, Ethical Sourcing

The way our snail mucin is collected matters just as much as the quality itself.

Our snails thrive in open-air habitats with food, sun, and safety.

Their mucin is gathered just as naturally as they live. No stress, no harm, no shortcuts – just real care and patience.

And because purity is everything, each batch of mucin is held to pharmaceutical standards. It’s tested for safety and consistency, so what reaches your skin is clean, potent, and proven.
