From Skeptic to Founder: How a DIY Experiment Led to this website

Hi everyone, I’m Jack — founder of Glow Ritual.

And if you had told me five years ago that I’d be building a skincare company centered around snail mucin, I would have laughed. Loudly.

My journey into skincare wasn’t glamorous. It started with frustration.

Like many of you, I struggled with my skin. For me, it was dryness and sensitivity that nothing seemed to fix. I tried everything — department store brands, pharmacy shelves, trendy products from online ads. Some helped a little; most did nothing. Others made my skin even angrier.

I felt stuck. I was tired of overpromising and underdelivering. I was tired of complex routines that took forever and cost a fortune.

The Turning Point: A Trip & A Truth

A few years ago, I traveled to South Korea for work. Skincare there isn’t a luxury; it’s a way of life. I was amazed by the innovation, the focus on gentle yet powerful ingredients, and the incredible results people achieved.

That’s where I first truly learned about Snail Mucin.

I’ll be honest: I was skeptical. Very skeptical. But curiosity got the better of me. I tried a high-quality snail essence, and for the first time, my skin didn’t just feel okay — it felt amazing. Hydrated. Calm. Glowy. It was the simple, effective solution I’d been searching for my whole life.

But when I looked for something similar back home, I found two extremes: questionable quality with wild claims, or reputable brands with wild prices.

I thought, “There has to be a better way.”

So, I decided to create it.

Why Glow Ritual? Our Promise to You.

Glow Ritual was born from a simple idea: honest, high-performance skincare that actually works, without the hype or the huge markups. The name reflects our belief that skincare should be a mindful, rewarding practice — a ritual that brings out your natural glow.

I became obsessed. I spent months sourcing the highest quality, ethically harvested Snail Secretion Filtrate. I worked with chemists to perfect a formula that was potent, clean, and felt incredible on the skin. I refused to cut corners. If it wasn’t something I would use every day myself, it wasn’t going in the bottle.

My promise to you is this:

  • No False Promises: We’ll always be transparent about what our products can and cannot do.

  • Ethical Everything: From our cruelty-free, sustainable sourcing to our recyclable packaging, we do things the right way.

  • Simplicity: Your routine should be a joy, not a chore. We make products that deliver multiple benefits, so you can do less and achieve more.

This is More Than a Business. It’s a Passion.

This isn’t just a company to me. It’s the solution to my own problem, and I truly believe it can be the solution for yours, too.

Every bottle of our Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence is made with that same intention: to give you real results without the hassle. It’s the product I wish I had years ago.

Thank you for trusting me and giving Glow Ritual a place in your routine. It means the world.

Here’s to simpler skincare and happier skin,

Jack
Founder, Glow Ritual
