BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30 Combines Scar Care and Sun Defense

Biocorneum Silishield Mineral (1)

BIOCORNEUM, one of the industry leaders in plastic surgeon-recommended scar management gel, launched BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30, a new mineral sun protection option, on July 28, 2026, the company announced. 

According to the company’s press release, the gel is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and aligns with the brand’s scar-care portfolio, which is built to meet each customer's individual needs.

The dual-action gel combines BIOCORNEUM's clinically trusted silicone technology with non-nano zinc oxide, the press release states, making it an ideal solution for scars  burns. 

The fast-drying, lightweight formula delivers daily UV defense and proven scar management in one step, helping to soften, flatten, and reduce redness. This matters because unprotected sun exposure is a leading cause of scar discoloration and prolonged visibility. 

By combining advanced scar management and daily mineral sun protection in one application, the new formulation helps patients defend healing skin from UV damage while supporting a smoother, more even-looking recovery.

"Sun protection is one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of scar care. UV exposure is a major driver of discoloration and prolonged scar visibility, so I've always told patients that their scar treatment is incomplete without daily SPF layered on top," said Los Angeles-based board-certified dermatologist, Maryam Safaee, MD FAAD. 

"BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30 solves that in a single step: it's still the same physician-trusted silicone scar technology my patients rely on, now with broad-spectrum mineral protection built in for sensitive skin. And it applies beautifully — no heavy cast, no chalky finish — so there's no reason to skip it."

Key Product Highlights:

  • Physician Preferred: Formulated with SiliShield® crosslinked silicone scar technology, the top choice among plastic surgeons.
  • Mineral Sun Protection: Features non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum SPF 30 defense.
  • Sensitive Skin Formula: Specially designed to be gentle and compatible with daily skincare regimens and cosmetics.
  • Enhanced Healing: Clinically designed to help soften, flatten, and reduce redness and hyperpigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars.
  • Highly Versatile: Flexible, water-resistant (80 minutes), and fast-drying formula suitable for new and mature scars, including areas that flex and move.

BIOCORNEUM's new launch reinforces the trend of post-procedure care becoming less about a single product and more about the recovery protocol. 

For practices, scar management, pigmentation prevention and sun protection are interconnected concerns, particularly as patients become more attentive to downtime and long-term outcomes. 

BIOCORNEUM’s mineral SPF 30 is another example of brands consolidating multiple recovery needs into one application, a direction worth watching as practices look to improve patient adherence while building more comprehensive post-procedure regimens.
