Snail mucin has long been a hero in skincare—praised for its hydrating, healing, and skin-repairing properties. But as more people move toward vegan and cruelty-free choices, there’s growing curiosity about alternatives that are just as effective, but more aligned with conscious living.
Enter mushroom mucin, a plant-based ingredient derived from Nameko mushroom, known for its water-like texture and impressive moisture-retaining abilities. Much like snail mucin, it supports hydration, skin repair, and plumping. In fact, snow mushroom can hold up to five times more water than hyaluronic acid, making it a powerful humectant.
What makes it special is not just its performance, but its origin—no animals involved, no compromise on results.
At Nerah Skin, we’ve been exploring this thoughtful alternative with care and intention, creating one of India’s first mushroom mucin-based formulations. Our goal is simple: offer solutions that are kind, effective, and rooted in clean, transparent skincare.
Because skincare, like everything else, can evolve with both purpose and progress.
