6 Diabetic Friendly With SmartGel Diabetic Friendly, GelSmart has created the safest, non-restrictive formulation for people with diabetes, while offering superior comfort and cushioning. Infused with the natural healing properties of Vitamin E and Aloe Vera, our Diabetic Friendly gel encourages a healing environment. Comfort Cushion Formulated for ultimate shock absorption and durability, SmartGel Comfort Cushion is the preferred material for offloading pressure, impact shock, and shear force. With excellent shape retention to extend the life of the cushion, GelSmart products made with SmartGel Comfort Cushion are the optimal choice for physically active people. Hydration Therapy Natural hydration is the key to SmartGel Hydration Therapy. The infusion of Ceramides (fatty acids that help skin retain moisture) including Vitamin F Forte and E provides essential, natural fatty acids for deep hydration. The addition of Shea Butter to the formulation brings softening and smoothing properties, while acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. Also, Aloe Vera enrichment gives Hydration Therapy an added healing advantage. Scar Therapy This unique SmartGel formula helps improve the appearance of scars. The occlusive nature of SmartGel Scar Therapy provides a skin-nurturing environment. In addition, health care professionals have long prescribed Vitamin A as a supplement to improve the appearance of skin. Vitamin A is infused right into the SmartGel, along with Vitamins E & F (Ceramides) to smooth and soften as you treat. When applied directly to the skin, this combination can improve the skin s elasticity and cosmetic appearance of new or old scars.
