Made by bees that pollinate the native manuka bush in New Zealand. Before the development of antibiotics in the 1940s, honey was a staple in both medication cabinet and the kitchen.

PATCH test the product by placing a small amount on normal, healthy skin; if after several hours there is no irritation or redness, proceed to application to psoriasis affected skin. Can typically be used in combination with Salicylic acid, Topical Vitamin A & Vitamin D analogues &/or Corticosteroid treatments.Antioxidants include Calendula officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract, Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate & Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). Oxidative stress and the increased formation of free radicals have been related to skin inflammation and are reported to be among the most important factors in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Studies demonstrate that individuals with psoriasis have high levels of markers of lipid peroxidation and decreased antioxidant status. Both simple (ie purified vitamin) and complex (herbal extracts, honey) substances are used as antioxidants. This provides both lipid and water soluble antioxidant activity, permitting quenching of reactive oxygen species in both lipid and aqueous environments, as well as a range of different anti-oxidant activities. Humectants draw water from the aqueous formulation base, the atmosphere, and from the underlying epidermis to increase skin hydration. The stratum corneum of unaffected psoriatic skin reveals no deficit in natural urea content, however levels in psoriatic lesions can be reduced by 40%. Application of moisturisers containing urea, have been shown to exert positive changes in the stratum corneum, hydrate severely compromised skin, and support and enhance barrier function.

By softening, soothing, and lubricating the surface, it eases discomfort and promotes the removal of scales. Additionally, the cream facilitates epidermal rehydration, helping to restore the skin's moisture balance and promote a healthier skin barrier.
