Abstract: A cream or ointment for topical application to reduce the appearance of scars. A silicone compound is combined with a sunscreen or sun block for topical application that helps fade or diminish scar tissue making the scar less noticeable. The silicone compound acts as a protective barrier and prevents epidermal water loss that aids in the healing and reduction of scar tissue. The sunscreen or sun block prevents the new tissue from being damaged and protects the scar tissue from the effects of ultraviolet radiation, resulting in more uniform skin color reducing the appearance of the scar tissue. Vitamins E and K1, as well as onion extract, are also included for improving the appearance of scars. The cream or ointment of the present invention may be massaged into the area of the scar twice daily for two to three minutes at a time. The cream or ointment is easy to apply and is a cost effective method to reduce the appearance of scars.

Abstract: A system for decorating nails, including fingernails and toenails, using rub-on or pressure sensitive art or decals. A transparent carrier sheet has a rub-on transfer art for positioning over a fingernail. By rubbing on the top surface of the carrier sheet, the rub-on transfer art is transferred to the fingernail. In one embodiment, a release sheet attached to the carrier sheet is used to hold the carrier sheet and attached rub-on transfer art in position over a fingernail, facilitating placement and transfer. In another embodiment, adhesive is used on the carrier sheet to hold the carrier sheet in position over the fingernail. In yet another embodiment, a tube structure is utilized and placed over the finger for holding in position over the fingernail the rub-on transfer art attached to the carrier sheet. The present invention permits fingernails to be decorated without the use of liquid nail polish, adhesives, or wet decals and, therefore, needs no time to dry and can be done quickly, neatly, and easily.
