    I use Kelo-Cote for scars, but I am not sure of the ingredients so I doubt they are natural.  Vitamin E is good for scarring.  with recent bad press surrounding Bio Oil I would avoid

    I found a brand that is just pure silicone, I was using bio oil, but it has too many ingredients that can cause problems

    vitamin e is good, you can buy it in a gel like formula, it is a bit sticky though.

    I love Trilogy’s rose hip oil.

    Out of interest what’s the bad press around bio oil?

    Moo Goo have a good range of natural vitamin serums which ive found great for evening skin tone and reducing scars and marks. Their multivitamin one is my favorite but their vitamin C serum is good too. They also sell rosehip oil which is nice.

    Vitamin A and Vitamin E are really good for scarring.

    Not sure what would be wrong with Bio-Oil, only thing I can think of is the paraffin oils in it which wouldn't be the most eco-friendly.
