Neopsoral®
What should we know about psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and eczema?
Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and eczema are among the most common skin conditions that cause discomfort and can significantly impair quality of life. All three are generally chronic, meaning they can persist long-term, either continuously or in cycle of flare-ups and remissions.
These conditions involve a serious disruption of the skin’s natural barrier, but each disease has distinct characteristics:
Psoriasis is typically marked by red, well-defined plaques that are thick and covered with silvery-white scales. These plaques most often appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, back, and genital areas. In some cases, psoriasis can also affect the joints and nails. As an autoimmune disease, psoriasis causes the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy skin cells.
Though psoriasis is not contagious, it may be triggered by infections, with contributing factors including genetics, stress and often a deficiency of essential elements, such as B vitamins, that are crucial for maintaining normal skin metabolism and other factors.
Atopic dermatitis (also referred to as atopic eczema) causes dry, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin. It is typically hereditary and commonly affects children or individuals with atopic conditions like asthma and others. Atopic dermatitis can appear on various parts of the body, such as the head, face, hands and feet, and can worsen when exposed to allergens or irritants.
Eczema is a broad term used to describe several inflammatory skin conditions. It generally presents with dry, red, and irritated skin, often accompanied by itching and swollen patches. The causes of eczema are varied and may include genetic factors, allergies, irritant exposure, immune disfunction, stress, and more.

Borage Oil
Borage oil is well known for its high content of beneficial fats, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid. Maintaining healthy levels of GLA is critical for skin health.
GLA promotes skin hydration and regeneration, and its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe symptoms of skin conditions.
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) dry extract
The dry extract of Silybum marianum (Milk Thistle) is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. It has a strong antioxidant effect, helping reduce inflammation in the skin, and promotes skin cell renewal, thereby strengthening the skin`s barrier function.
B vitamins
B vitamins are essential for almost every process in the body. They help convert food into energy and influence the health of the nervous system, metabolism, organs, muscles, skin, and hair. These vitamins are also substantial for skin cell growth, development, and regeneration. A deficiency of B vitamins can impair skin metabolism.
Supplementing with Vitamins B1 , B6 , B9 and B12 supports the physiological skin metabolism.
