Is it halal? What about the animal cruelty issue?
Re: using snail gel to make yourself pretty
I dont see any issue with using Snail gel…halal for eating I dont think so, or that maybe i havet seen any one eating it. for cosmetic purposes i dont see an issue, provided all other ingredients are halal

‘..the mucus secreted by snails is enjoyable to apply and can genuinely regenerate and repair the skin. The healing and repairing powers of the slime, which is harvested without causing any harm to the snails, was discovered by chance when snail farmers in Chile noticed their hands were incredibly soft and smooth while minor cuts healed unusually quickly.’

If this is true animal cruelty shouldn’t be an issue, should it?
Think I’ll give it a miss tho 
Re: using snail gel to make yourself pretty
its a snail, and the gel is basically its outer secretion. The gel is NOT made by crushing snails into a paste. Even if it was, it isnt an issue of curelty as much as having turkey, chicken or rabbit or beef for dinner is. And its not as cruel as using makeup and perfumes.
and as far as halaal/ haraam goes. The only thing HARAM, musalmaaaano, is forgoing aql (intellect) over a charismatic public speaker or a mullah
Re: using snail gel to make yourself pretty
^the process of secreting is never mentioned in detail (I wonder why)…I think it sounds pretty awful.
