International Snail Institute

The International Snail Institute (ISI) is a research-driven biotechnology organization focused on the study and application of snail mucin for healthcare and cosmetic purposes. Established as a spin-off from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, the institute leverages over 30 years of malacological research to develop high-purity bioactive compounds. Their proprietary extraction technology isolates specific proteins, peptides, and glycosaminoglycans from snail secretions that exhibit potent antimicrobial, wound-healing, and anti-aging properties. The institute's research underpins the commercial skincare brand Snail 8, which utilizes evidence-based formulations for skin regeneration. Beyond cosmetics, ISI is actively investigating the therapeutic potential of snail-derived substances for medical applications such as chronic wound management and tissue repair.
