Heparin has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and antiproliferative properties and further promotes the hydration of the hardened tissue, causing a relaxation of the scars.
Allantoin has healing, keratolytic, moisturizing and anti-irritant properties and also helps in the formation of skin tissue and reduces itching associated with scarring.
