The Carlsbad-based brand, frequently cited by plastic surgeons, has introduced BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30 as an alternative to its original SiliShield® formula. By utilizing non-nano zinc oxide, the product offers a gentle sun protection option tailored for sensitive skin. The gel is specifically engineered to soften, flatten, and reduce the redness of hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from burns, surgeries, or injuries.
Los Angeles dermatologist Dr. Maryam Safaee emphasizes that daily SPF is often the most neglected component of recovery. She notes that the new formulation avoids the chalky, heavy finish typically associated with mineral sunscreens, making consistent daily use more likely for patients. The 80-minute water-resistant formula remains flexible on the skin, allowing it to move naturally over joints and high-flex areas without cracking or losing efficacy.
Beyond its primary function as a scar treatment, the gel serves as a protective barrier against dehydration, which can minimize the appearance of fine lines. The product is now available through the company’s official website and Amazon, marking a shift toward streamlining complex post-operative routines into one-step, clinically backed solutions.
