Influencers say soybean serum is the vegan snail mucin. What do experts say?

Since the advent of social media, there have been numerous beauty products that come and go, making it very difficult to keep track of such trends and products (we, who are doing this for a living, can attest to this).

However, last year, if there was one product that not only made headlines but also found its way into everyone’s makeup bag (for those who could afford it), it was snail mucin. But one of the major concerns that many people, including PETA, pointed out was the issue of animal cruelty.

ICYMI: Snail Mucin is made from the secretion snails leave behind while crawling.

In response, Instagram influencers started using bean essence, another viral product on social media, and promoted it as a vegan alternative to snail mucin.

What is bean essence?

But after snail mucin, another product that we are seeing becoming more popular is bean essence, which has been the talk of social media.
