How to Make Scar Cream

There are several natural herbs that can be used to create a cream to heal and fade scars. The carbon dioxide herbal extracts used in this scar cream recipe are made by a distillation process. They are known for being much more potent than regular herb essential oils, and contain more of the properties of a particular herb. Thus, the CO2 of various herbs are highly concentrated and extremely powerful oils, waxes and creams that are used in skincare products to help repair and heal damaged skin cells.

Things You'll Need

• Rosehip seed oil
• German chamomile, calendula and helichrysum carbon dioxide extracts (CO2 select)
• Small plastic or glass bottle

Instructions

1. Purchase the carbon dioxide herbal extracts and rose hips seed oil from a makeup wholesaler or a local organic foods store. You can also purchase them online. Check Resources below for a direct link.

2. Combine four drops of the German chamomile CO2 select, three drops of the calendula CO2 select, and three drops of the helichrysum CO2 select in the small bottle, and store in a cool dry place for about a week. These herbal extracts must be given time to blend together so that their full scar-healing potency can be achieved. German chamomile, calendula and helichrysum are known for their anti-inflammatory, skin cell regenerating and general scar-healing properties. Note: CO2 select is a more liquid consistency of the extracts; CO2 total is generally more waxy or creamy.

3. Add about a 3/4 ounce of the rosehip seed oil to the CO2 mixture. Close the bottle tightly and shake vigorously to allow all of the oils and extracts to blend together thoroughly.

4. Rub the scar cream deep into your skin to help heal new scars and reduce the appearance of old scars. Rub deeply into the affected areas and allow to stay on your skin overnight to fully absorb.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want to make more scar cream for a larger surface area of the skin, simply double or triple the amount of these ingredients.

• Be aware that these herbals are known to stain or bleach clothing so dress accordingly to avoid damaging your outfits.
