I don't have a recipe for a scar balm, but if I were making one, I would use base oils and essential oils with known regenerative properties. Here is a link with descriptions of base and essential oils. Choose several from the list and use a simple balm formula using these oils.

Here is a link with a balm recipe, just plug in the base and essential oils with the qualities you need:

I would use rosehip oil or calendula. I treated a scar on my face with rosehip oil (rub in a couple of drops a day) for a year and nobody can see the scar at all. It was about 4 inches across my right cheek.

You don't mean a fresh scar or scar in the making when you started, right? So this was an existing scar, and this oil made it go away in a year? This is very interesting! Has anyone ever tested it by putting the oil on just part of a scar?
 
This was a fresh scar from having a BCC skin cancer cut out. I didn't start putting on the oil until the skin had healed somewhat about 6 wks later. I wouldn't put it on an open wound. I also had acupuncture for 1 yr as well.
 
Onion EO is very, very effective for raised scar/keloid reduction and very, very funky smelling. It with beeswax, castor oil and pokeweed root was like magic on my c-section road map. It took almost year, because I only applied at night and bathed each morning. Had I used it continuously, it would have probably gone faster.
 
I would be really interested in trying that too! Had a mastectomy (single) this February and got a lift on the other side to I've got scars on one side up to under my armpit and the other side the smiley face scar o-) (but vertical). When we move in August I'll have my own "crafting" space to spread out and want to get back into this wonderful mess ;)

tschwenn, it sounds like you've been through a lot. I am glad you made it through to tell us about it -- and to soap (and balm) again!
 
I agree with making rosehip as one of the main ingredients. Also, might wanna look at things that can lighten the skin, like licorice root, chamomile, papaya, and bearberry.

Glad your back, do you want this new account merged with the Blue Goddess Body Care ? Admin tried to find your last account and we can't find it.
 
That would be great :) My info was [email protected] & Blue Goddess (Teri). Just got back from fishing and am I RED! lol My last chemo was a couple weeks ago and I forgot the sun will get me worse right now - time for the SPF 50 ;)
 
Emu oil and mango butter are both supposed to have scar reductive properties.
 
I love Rosehip oil. My daughter suffered a cigarette burn in her face while on holiday (I was so upset someone just passing by did it by accident). She was just 3. I applied organic Rosehip oil twice a day for more than a year. No visible scar now.
