NewGel+ UV SPF30 Silicone Gel For Scars is first and only silicone gel with Zinc Oxide mineral sunscreen. Zinc Oxide is a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen that stays on the surface of the skin and does not penetrate the fragile scar tissue as chemical sunscreens do. Zinc Oxide is also known to be anti-inflammatory antimicrobial and soothing skin protectant. NewGel+UV is the first scar treatment to combine zinc oxide a chemical-free mineral sunscreen with a specialized blend of medical grade silicones to protect new scars while it works to flatten soften and fade them. Sun exposure on fragile newly healed scars can cause hyperpigmentation. This brown discoloration can be permanent. NewGel+UV includes zinc oxide to protect scars from the harmful rays of the sun. Zinc oxide is a broad spectrum physical (mineral) sunscreen and a safer option because it stays on the surface of the skin and is not absorbed into it. It is gentle and non-irritating even on sensitive skin. NewGel+UV dries to form a thin flexible waterproof layer on the skin. It creates a protective barrier with the ideal environment to manage and reduce scarring. Ingredients: Polymerized Siloxanes (Silicone Gel) Zinc Oxide C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate Polyhydroxystearic Acid
