Prickly Pear Peptide Mucin Serum.

"It feels just like a little more slippery. It has a strong vegetable smell to it. I don't know how else to describe it. Smells like squash. Of all the things they didn't add fragrance to, vegetable smell is lingering. So we've got the prickly pear extract, which is a good antioxidant soothing ingredient. We've got ectoin. Ectoin is an antioxidant, it's a soothing ingredient, it's a hydrating ingredient, it's wonderful. We've got ubiquinone, good antioxidant. We've got some ferments in here, a phyto ferment, galactomyces ferment, some oils, castor oil, licorice root, vitamin E. The smell goes away pretty quickly, but it is definitely noticeable once you apply it. It feels nice on my skin. It's a little on the sticky side, although all mucin products always are kind of sticky. I think that's the goal of them."

"This is a vegan alternative to snail mucin using prickly pear peptide mucin as a nutrient-dense kind of vegan mucin alternative. It's very bouncy, it's got that stringiness to it, you know that kind of mucin feel to it. Very pale. So it has that same bouncy, cushiony mucin effect on the skin. It's so, so hydrating. Unlike traditional snail mucin, it's 100% vegan, but delivers that same kind of elasticity boosting, soothing benefits without the snails being involved. I think this has taken over as my favorite product from Glow Recipe in general."
