About the brand
Holy Snails was inspired by conversations with our fellow skincare lovers. We were tired of beauty brands loading up their products with fillers and fragrances instead of truly beneficial ingredients. We longed for formulations that are simple, direct, and made to work. So that’s what we created. Holy Snails products are designed from the ground up. We research the effectiveness and safety of every ingredient we use and include each one for a specific purpose. Ingredients are chosen to complement each other and create a more powerful whole. When we use ingredients with data on optimal concentrations, we use them in those concentrations to maximize results. We believe that good ingredients are meant to be used in the correct amounts—not in fractions of an undisclosed percent that don’t do anything except sound nice on a label. As part of our formulation process, we strive to create products appropriate for all skin types. With the exception of our heavier Perseids Oil (which is still used and loved by some oily skin types!), all of our skincare is meant for every skin type and every age.
