Medical - Cosmetics, Beauty
Spanish term or phrase: reepitalizante
Hi guys and gals,

I can't seem to find the translation to this word in English. I would appreciate your help.

Context is regarding different properties of creams and its ingredients, in this case it is:
"Centella asiática: cicatrizante, antiinflamatorio y reepitalizante". By the way, I am using "cicatrizant" for cosmetics and I know that for medical texts it is ok, is it used in cosmetics too? I know scar cream is used but scar/scarring wouldn't fit here.

Thank you very much

Robert

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Rachel. it is a sampel catalogue with different products containing natural ingredients, such as Chamomile Calendula..... Then later on each of these ingredients' properties are "explained". I quote and unquote as it is just - "The ingredient: property, property, property" and so on for all ingredientsas in the context I have provided in the initial question.

Asker: Plus I sense that these ingredients are expressed as simple words without constructing a sentence because it is also going to be part of a label.

Asker: Actually it has just ocuured to me instead of cicatrizant just use healing as a property.

agree  Evans (X): yes, that covers it and it's best to avoid words such as cicatrizant in this type of text

Explanation:
This is a phrase commonly used in advertising copy for cosmetics. Whether the claim is true is another matter!
