Why is this eye cream not suitable for vegans?

This eye cream is not suitable for vegans because it contains snail mucin, shown on the ingredient list as Helix aspersa mucosal secretion filtrate. Snail mucin is a secretion produced by snails, so it counts as an animal-derived ingredient.

In this formula, snail mucin brings together glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans, moisture-binding compounds such as naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, allantoin, peptides, and mineral traces. These are used in the product to draw water into the upper layers of skin and help make the eye contour feel smoother and more supple.

If you prefer a vegan routine, choose an eye cream that relies on plant-based or synthetic moisture-binding ingredients. Common alternatives include glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, beta-glucan, or various botanical extracts, but none of them will have the same composition as snail mucin. Whether this matters depends on your own skincare preferences, not on any performance guarantee.
