I know vitamin E cream and oil is meant to be great for healing scars but sometimes you might want a little more and this cream seems like a very necessary indulgence after a C-Section. Earth Mama Angel Baby has created the C-Mama Healing Salve, a clinically tested healing balm formulated with 100% natural ingredients rich in Vitamin C, essential fatty acids and  amino acids - all nutrients necessary for proper cell regeneration and wound repair. They are currently offering a 10% discount and it retails at $32.35 for 30ml (1oz).

Some of its key ingredients are:

	Kola (Centella asiatica) - a medicinal herb long revered in India, China and Indonesia for its ability to strengthen skin,increase antioxidants in wounds and restore inflammed tissue. It is believed to increase the tensile strength of the skin and enhance wound, scar and stretch mark repair by increasing the cell’s ability to manufacture protein and the growth of new tissue.*
	Sea Buckthorn Seed (Hippophae rhamnoides) oil. These hardy little berries are uniquely rich in more than 100 nutrients, 28 trace elements and bioactive antioxidants – making it one of the most precious natural oils for extreme skin care. It is rich in natural antioxidants Vitamins C, A, E, polyphenols, flavonoids and carotenoids vital for skin repair and anti-microbial activity. Studies suggest that the restorative action from this plant is due to high amounts of linoleic, gamma-linolenic the rare palmitic acid. These fatty acids and vitamins are unusually bio-available natural antioxidants and support the skin’s natural restorative ability for rashes, inflammation, burns, poorly healing wounds, infection and scarring.*
	Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum inophyllum) is a rich tropical oil long revered for its powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal wound healing qualities. It is used to help promote new tissue formation and the acceleration of tissue regeneration. Studies report significant improvement in appearance of scars and stretch marks following the application of tamanu oil.*
	Most people think of St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) as a mood-elevating herb. But did you know that it is also used topically as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial burn and wound healing herb? Studies show it can help soothe atopic dermatitis, reduce wound closure time, help regeneration of tissues and increase tensile strength of wounds.*
	Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) is a sweet, woody essential oil valued for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Aromatherapists also use immortelle to help minimize swelling and to reduce discoloration from scar tissue and stretch marks.*
