Question:

I am an Aromatherapist. My 13 year old daughter has black skin and she had a nasty fall on gravel about 6 weeks ago. Her hip is scarring and looks like a keloid is forming despite my best efforts with Rosehip Oil. I noticed your regenerative bio amino complex and Camellia oil on your site and was wondering about them. Any ideas? She is a model and a large area 6 inches by 3 inches is effected.

Reply:

"Rose hip seed oil is best combined with Tamanu at a proportion of 60% rosehip and 40% Tamanu. I would also suggest a drop or two of sandalwood. The oil can be applied regularly night and morning and also added into a base gel or milk/lotion if preferred or for convenience. Regular application and time is the key. healing takes linger than we expect and scar tissue will build especially if under stretch. Application and time should see this fade."
