The glycolic acid and elastin in a snail's secretion protects its own skin from cuts, bacteria, and UV rays, making it a great source for proteins that eliminate dead cells and regenerate skin. You can find this in most moisturizers to make your skin nice and smooth.

Crushed Beetles
The crimson red color in many dyes and cosmetics comes from Cochineal Beetles. The beetles are soaked in hot water, dried and then crushed to give the deep red color. The color is then used in many cosmetics including hair dyes and lipsticks. If you are looking at ingredient lists it will be listed under the name Carmine.
