Active Ingredients:
onion is extract + heparin + allantoin
Therapeutic actions:
Cepae extract is obtained from onions. It generates an anti-inflammatory, bactericidal effect. And it reduces swelling while preventing excessive growth of the connective tissue.
Heparin loosens the tissue structure. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps to bind water to the scar tissue.
Allantoin encourages wound healing and has a soothing effect. In older scars its most important effect is to replenish and regulate the extreme lack of water in the scar tissue - and to promote blood flow. The effects of the ingredients enhance and complement each other.
