Urea Silicone Gel for Scars and Hydration Treatment and Method of Using Same

Abstract

Compositions and methods for urea silicone gels for treating skin conditions that may benefit from barrier protection and from urea silicone gel ability to return water balance to the skin are disclosed. Skin conditions that may be treated with urea silicone gel may be excessive dryness, insect bites, keloids and scars, among others. Disclosed urea silicone gel may include micronized urea USP, an anhydrous silicone base, and a PEG ointment base, among other ingredients. Anhydrous silicone base may include Amazonian oils such as pracaxi oil and seje oil, which are rich in oleic, linolenic, linoleic acids, and sterols, particularly beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol that may increase skin permeability to urea. PEG ointment base may be water-washable and includes meadowsweet extract. Additionally, PEG urea silicone gel may provide occlusion, and may maintain a moist environment within the skin condition which allows optimal healing. Pain also may be decreased by maintaining a moist environment.
