Allantoin + Allium Cepa Extract + Heparin is a skin healing and scar-reducing combination.
Allantoin hydrates the skin and promotes the production of collagen, a protein that aids in skin repair and wound healing.
Allium Cepa Extract, derived from onions, fights against bacteria that could infect wounds, and helps to decrease inflammation, which could otherwise slow down the healing process.
Heparin is an anticoagulant that plays a role in reducing inflammation. It also helps to speed up the healing process by preventing the formation of scars. Together, these components work in synergy to promote wound healing and reduce scar formation.
