What is it?

They say: When it comes to fighting hyperpigmentation and brightening skin tone, the choices often seem stark. Fade dark spots with harsh, photosensitizing retinoids and exfoliants, or put our faith in brightening products that may or may not contain enough of their active ingredients to make a difference. It’s totally legal to list a proven ingredient but include it in an ineffectively low... When it comes to fighting hyperpigmentation and brightening skin tone, the choices often seem stark. Fade dark spots with harsh, photosensitizing retinoids and exfoliants, or put our faith in brightening products that may or may not contain enough of their active ingredients to make a difference. It’s totally legal to list a proven ingredient but include it in an ineffectively low concentration. In most cases, you’d never know until you’ve been using something for ages and seeing no results. Our flagship product Shark Sauce was born out of this frustration. This hydrating and brightening serum contains 5% niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and 3% n-acetylglucosamine, the optimal concentrations for these research-backed ingredients to work synergistically to fight hyperpigmentation. The sea kelp bioferment, the result of fermenting sea kelp with lactobacillus to break it down into smaller and more bioavailable compounds, smooths skin and traps moisture without heaviness, making Shark Sauce a great oil-free liquid moisturizer.

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.
