Mineral oil and fats reclaimed from waste.

These people collect waste from your local grocer in the form of fats(waste from the trimming of meats and fish). Render out the fats. Ever wonder how there make lipstick. Lard!

There are also many plant oils that you could use. Many have benefits to the skin. Coconut oil being one it's use in a lot of products.

You can certainly start by reading what others are including in "scar removal" products, and you will find lots of results on google, including herbs used.

Read as much as you can about these products (and customer reviews) to find out whether the basic product should be formulated as a cream (oil and water emulsion), astringent, or other: there are many types of skin care product. I would personally recommend that you leave "lentil stew" out of your formula, for aesthetic and market considerations.

Read also about the scientific basis for scar removal treatments (if it exists!). Research on herbs or other substances which promote collagenase activity might be relevant, since scars are (basically) an unwanted accumulation of collagen (Collagenase is the enzyme which breaks collagen down). The same product would not likely be used to "repair the skin" however you may find otherwise by reading.

Read, read, read some more, and ask specific questions if you do not understand, until you are ready to design your product and the process required to produce it.

Antioxidants are natural substances made up of vitamins and minerals which are found in most plants in varying amounts. They can counter "free radicals" that damage DNA. Damaged skin cells can speed up aging with wrinkles, dry skin, dark circles under eyes, dull skin, and more.
