Abstract
The present invention relates to a silicone composition comprising the three silicone compounds: stearyl dimethicone, a C30-45 alkyl methicone, and a caprylyl methicone. Said combination provides a unique effect in the treatment of scars, by increasing hydration of stratum corneum and thereby facilitates regulation of fibroblast production and reduction in collagen production, whereby treatment of skin injuries is obtained. Said composition can be applied as a thin transparent silicone film on a desired skin area, does not require any drying time, and has an improved adherence to the patient's skin, thereby improving patient compliance during treatment. Furthermore, said silicone composition can be provided with an SPF of 50 and a relatively high silicone concentration.
