Can you use Better Butter Care to help heal your scars? Short answer is YES! Our formulas are designed to help skin heal in general and with new scars, you definitely need some assistance to make sure the heal is smooth and the scarring is minimal after a surgery or an injury where scarring occurred. Cocoa butter is our main ingredient and that's the super healer for addressing scarring. While it's not a guaranteed cure for scars; it can support the heal and improve the appearance of the skin in a few key ways;
1. Moisturization
Cocoa butter is an excellent emollient. Keeping the scarred area well-moisturized:
-
Prevents excessive dryness and cracking
-
Supports a more favorable healing environment
-
May reduce itching and discomfort associated with scar tissue
2. Improved Skin Elasticity
Cocoa butter contains fatty acids like oleic, palmitic, and stearic acid, which help improve skin elasticity. This may be particularly helpful for stretch marks or scars that are associated with skin stretching or injury.
3. Antioxidant Properties
It contains antioxidants, including vitamin E, which may:
-
Help neutralize free radicals
-
Support collagen production
-
Reduce inflammation in healing skin
To sum up, regular and consistent use of Better Butter Care can soften and smooth the scar tissue, potentially reducing its visibility over time. Though it won’t remove or cure old, deep or stubborn scars, you can consult with your dermatologist if you have any questions or concerns beyond basic skin care.
