Product Description (No Prototypes accepted)
The Skin Shift Repair Wand delivers synergistic actives that turn scar recovery into a targeted, sensorial ritual. Housed in an airless tube with a precise pen-like applicator and a cooling metal tip, the wand delivers actives captured in a biomimetic gelling emulsifying system inspired by phospholipid structures, which both optimizes skin affinity and the targeted delivery of actives. The bioactive delivery system supports the actives’ controlled diffusion on fragile skin, while a breathable plant-based film-former creates a second-skin barrier that protects the skin as it heals. The formula also contains epidermal growth factor, betaine, and niacinamide, which all support re-epithelialization, regulate fibroblast activity, and encourage organized collagen matrix production during the skin-remodeling phase of scar healing. The concept offers a clinically advanced, non-occlusive alternative to silicone treatments, and is suitable for sensitive scars including surgical, acne, and burn scars, as well as raised hypertrophic and keloid scars.
Product Innovation
This innovation redefines scar care by uniting clinical-like delivery, bioactive regeneration, and breathable film protection within a single precision format. The phospholipid-inspired system mimics skin structure to optimise active delivery, while the Epidermal Growth Factor drives organised collagen regeneration at a cellular level. Unlike traditional silicone treatments, this plant-based, non-occlusive film creates a protective “second-skin” environment protecting the fragile tissue. This dual-action “shield + repair” system actively supports structured healing rather than passively masking scars—transforming scar management into a targeted, high-performance regeneration process.

Ingredients List & Formulation (Mandatory, if not specified disqualification from the contest)
The formula is built around a multi-layered repair system, combining protective film technology, bioactive regeneration and barrier support to optimise scar recovery at every stage of healing.
Key Actives:
Epidermal Growth Factor Complex – A bioactive growth factor that stimulates keratinocyte and fibroblast activity, encouraging organised collagen production and supporting more structured, efficient skin regeneration.
Niacinamide – Strengthens the skin barrier, supports ceramide production, and helps improve uneven tone, contributing to a more uniform scar appearance.
Betaine – A natural osmolyte that enhances water retention, helping maintain hydration balance and improve skin comfort during repair.
Panthenol – Supports lipid synthesis and barrier recovery while helping to soothe irritation and reduce visible sensitivity in newly formed skin.
Allantoin – Promotes gentle exfoliation and softening of rough, thickened tissue, improving texture and overall scar smoothness.
Formulation Structure:
At the core of the system is a biomimetic network inspired by phospholipids, designed to mimic the skin’s natural structure and enhance affinity and delivery. This ensures optimal distribution of actives across fragile, newly forming skin.
The formula is further enhanced by a plant-based, breathable film former, which creates a protective yet non-occlusive layer over the scar. This “second-skin” effect helps shield newly formed tissue while maintaining hydration and supporting an ideal environment for balanced remodelling.
