Product overview
K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Snail Mucin 97% + Rice 100ml is a Korean skincare essence built around a high concentration of Snail Secretion Filtrate, with rice-derived ingredients also included.
Ingredient note: the 97% Snail Secretion Filtrate claim is confirmed — it is listed first in the ingredient list (indicating the highest concentration) at approximately 970,000 ppm. Rice-derived ingredients (rice seed water, rice ferment filtrate, rice seed extract) are genuinely present, but only at trace levels of roughly 30 ppm or less each — so while "+ Rice" is not a fabricated claim, it should be understood as a minor addition alongside the dominant snail mucin content, not an equally weighted ingredient.
