Kaloidon TiO2
Tube - 30 ml
Kaloidon TiO2 is an innovative cream designed to protect and treat hypertrophic scars and keloids exposed to the sun. Thanks to its SPF 50+ sunscreen and advanced formula, it helps prevent hyperpigmentation, reduce inflammation, and limit scar tissue overgrowth. It also relieves discomfort such as itching, redness, and burning, promoting faster, more comfortable, and more uniform scar healing.
- TITANIUM DIOXIDE ( TiO2) is a natural mineral that reflects and diffuses UVB and UVA rays, ensuring effective and long-lasting skin protection. It is also suitable for sensitive tissues such as scar tissue.
- ONION EXTRACT ( Allium cepa ): high in Quercetin (> 10%), it reduces inflammation in the tissue being repaired, reducing collagen hyperproliferation, redness, and itching.
- POLYSILICONE-11: is a type of cross-linked silicone used mainly as a film-forming agent. It forms a thin, breathable film on the skin’s surface that helps retain moisture and protect the skin, making it particularly useful for scar treatment products .
- HYALURONIC ACID and CHONDROITIN SULFATE: keep the skin hydrated and promote its natural elasticity. They support the skin regeneration process, improving the flexibility and softness of scar tissue.
- ALLANTOIN: is a soothing agent that promotes the reduction of itching and burning. It therefore contributes to healthier, less irritated skin.

Can I expose a scar to the sun?
Especially in the early stages of healing, scars are very sensitive to sunlight. Unprotected exposure may result in hyperpigmentation, thickening of scar tissue, and inflammation. To avoid these problems, it is essential to apply a sunscreen with SPF 50+, such as Kaloidon TiO2, which offers effective protection against UVA and UVB rays. In addition, it is advisable to avoid direct sun exposure during the first six months and to protect the affected area with appropriate clothing.
What effect does sun exposure have on scars?
Sun exposure can darken scars, causing hyperpigmentation that makes them more noticeable and permanent. In addition, UV rays can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of inflammation. To protect scars, it is essential to use high-SPF sunscreens, such as Kaloidon TiO2, or cover them with clothing that effectively shields them from the sun's rays.
What colour is Kaloidon TiO2?
Kaloidon TiO2 is a white cream, thanks to the high concentration of titanium dioxide in its formulation. This ingredient acts as a physical UV filter that protects the scar from UVA and UVB rays and helps prevent hyperpigmentation and other damage from sun exposure.
