The man from France created the much-praised soap out of snail slime.

Damien Desroche raises 60,000 snails to make soap and sell it on the market It is hard to imagine but snail saliva is used to remove wrinkles and acne scars and is trusted by many women. In the hands of 28-year-old Damien Desrocher is a slimy, sticky, frothy, drool from thousands of snails he keeps in a large dragonfly in his backyard. Born and raised in the town of Wahagnies, in northern France, Damien Desrocher began using the greasy drool many feared to make soap and sell it in local markets. In order to get a lot of snail drool, the 28-year-old man had to think of many and extremely ingenious ways not to harm or kill any snails. Damien Desrocher said: “I just touched it with my finger, very light and not violent. It looks very simple, the whole process depends on your ingenuity.” Soap bars made from snail slime made by Damien Desrocher Formerly a computer technician working for the Air Force, Damien Desrocher decided to start raising snails in his hometown because he wanted to enjoy life back to nature. “Once you watch every move of snails, you find them really adorable. It’s my favorite animal,” Damien Desrocher said. Currently, Damien Desrocher has a total of about 60,000 snails. When they enter the breeding period, he will move to a larger site, in his yard with only about 4,000 of them. On the feet of snails there is a type of gland that can secrete a very sticky fluid to help them crawl, so every place they crawl through leaves a sticky residue. After this sticky fluid dried, a sparkling watery streak was formed. One snail will produce about 2 grams of slime, while to make 15 100-gram Damien Desrocher bars of soap requires about 80 grams of snail saliva. It only takes about 40 snails to make 15 100-gram bars of soap. Business is quite favorable, so Damien Desrocher needs to raise a lot of snails. So far, snail slime is quite famous in the western cosmetics industry for its surprisingly smooth skin, but recently it has become one of the more popular finished products in some other countries such as Korea. The mucus secreted by snails contains a powerful antioxidant, known for its anti-aging properties. According to Damien Desrocher, slime contains collagen and elastin molecules, which have anti-aging and skin-restoring properties. The snail itself also uses the slime it secretes to repair the shell when damaged. In the first year of production, Damien Desrocher aims to produce about 3,000 soap bars from snail slime.
