Résumé

Snail mucus is a biologically complex secretion whose composition and physical behaviour depend on species, anatomical source and collection methods. This book examines terrestrial snail biology, mucus chemistry, and the analytical methods used to characterise its constituents and material properties. It reviews experimental and human evidence relevant to skin hydration, barrier function, wound research and cosmetic applications, distinguishing laboratory observations from clinical outcomes. Further chapters consider biomaterials, drug delivery, formulation, safety assessment and the evaluation of product claims. Throughout, the discussion emphasises material traceability, reproducible measurements and the limitations of transferring findings between preparations, species and study settings.
