What is the Nokori Scar Balm?

Created in collaboration with surgeons, nurses, and patients, the Nokori Scar Balm is a 100% natural, highly concentrated scar treatment balm designed to soothe inflammation, strengthen and protect the damaged skin barrier, and reduce the risk of abnormal scarring.

Developed to be massaged into new and old surgical or injury-related scars, the Scar Balm helps hydrate, soften, and improve scar texture by breaking down excess collagen fibres that contribute to scarring.

What does the Scar Balm do?

1. Nourishes and hydrates
   Massaging the balm into your scar helps hydrate, soothe irritation and itchiness, and create an optimal healing environment.
2. Reduces inflammation and promotes regeneration
   Anti-inflammatory ingredients calm the skin while supporting cellular repair, helping to improve scar texture and appearance over time.

When should I use the Scar Balm?

It is designed to be used after your procedure.

• To soothe & calm → the balm helps to reduce redness, swelling and irritation and relieves discomfort and itchiness
• To heal & restore → the balm helps support tissue repair, accelerate scar recovery and improve overall skin texture
• To protect & strengthen → the balm helps reinforce the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss and shield against bacteria and oxidative stress

What is it made of?

The Nokori Scar Balm is formulated using 100% natural bio-active plant extracts recognised for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties.

Active ingredients:

• BioFusion → Intense wound healing, tissue repair, and inflammation reduction
• Defensil®+ → Soothes irritation and reinforces the skin barrier
• Vitamin E → Enhances skin regeneration, boosts hydration, and protects against oxidative stress

How to use the Scar Balm

The Scar Balm is specifically designed for scar massage and seamlessly integrates into your self-care routine.

Before you begin:

• Your incisions must be fully healed and stable
• Do not massage an unsealed scar or a scab.
• If unsure, check with your medical team to confirm your scar is ready for massage.
• Massaging too early can reopen the scar or increase the risk of infection. Always wait until your scar is completely sealed and stable.

To apply:

• Use once or twice daily.
• Place a small amount onto your fingertip — just enough to cover the entire scar with a thin layer (a little goes a long way).
• Start gently massaging the balm into the scarred area using steady motions to move the scar and skin, rather than just rubbing the surface.
• Apply firm but gentle pressure — you should see the skin whiten slightly, indicating you're moving the scar tissue itself.
• Work your way across the entire scar and surrounding area for 3–5 minutes.

Recommended duration:

• Massage for a minimum of 12 weeks
• For best results, continue to massage for up to 12 months

Why use the Nokori Scar Balm to treat your scars?

Using a scar balm can be an effective way to promote healing and reduce the appearance of scars in a natural and gentle way. It’s important to use a product that is specifically formulated for scar care — regular moisturisers can contain ingredients that may irritate healing skin.

Nokori Scar Balm is designed with targeted, bioactive ingredients to support your skin through recovery by offering:

1. Lubrication — Helps reduce friction during massage, making it easier and more comfortable to work the scar tissue
2. Hydration — Keeps the scar moisturised to support optimal cell regeneration and prevent dryness
3. Inflammation support — Strengthens the skin barrier and protects against external irritants and oxidative stress
4. Improved appearance — The combined effect of massage and balm can help scars become less visible over time

Combining the Balm & Tape

For optimal results, we recommend alternating between the Scar Tape and Scar Balm at regular intervals. For example, use the Scar Tape during the day and the Scar Balm at night, or alternate between several days of using the tape and several days of using the balm. We’ve designed specific routines for those of you using our Duo Kit.

Important: make sure not to apply the tape directly over the balm — it won’t stick properly. The balm needs time to fully absorb into the skin to avoid interfering with the tape’s adhesive properties and ensure both products perform as they should.

If you experience any irritation or adverse reaction, stop using the product immediately and consult your doctor. And if you have any questions or concerns about your scar or the use of our products, don't hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help.
