Our Products
DermaSilk
The UK’s first Biofunctional garments approved by the NHS. Designed and clinically proven to control temperature and humidity and reduce itch, giving patients and their families long term control over distressing eczema symptoms. Available online and via NHS Prescription.
DermaSilk Intimo
DermaSilk Intimo briefs have been developed to help ease the irritation caused by lichen sclerosus, recurrent thrush, vulvodynia and other gynaecological conditions. Backed with peer-reviewed clinical studies and featured in the European Lichen Sclerosus guidelines 2014.
DermaTherapy Bedding
These sheets feature a specially designed material and have been shown to help patients suffering from a variety of conditions that cause them to overheat at night. From eczema and psoriasis to menopausal symptoms and nights sweats caused by Parkinson’s disease and chemotherapy, DermaTherapy sheets engender a better night’s sleep by keeping the sleeper cool and dry. We’ve also got evidence which highlights their benefit in reducing pressure sores.
Molutrex
Molutrex is an easy to use product which clears blisters caused by molluscum contagiosum – a common viral condition found mainly on the skin of young children. Whilst the virus will eventually clear of its own accord, this can take up to 2 years. With Molutrex treatment this can be reduced to as little as 6 weeks.
MicroairBarrier
Many patients with contact dermatitis suffer due to contact with known allergens in their shoes such as dichromates, PPD dyes and solvents used in adhesives. Microair Barrier Socks have the ability to block the passage of these allergens from leather to the skin whilst allowing for the free movement of water vapour, leaving the feet free from both allergens and excess moisture.
Vitix & Viticolor
ViTiX and ViTicolor Gel have been specially developed to help in the regulation of depigmentation in conditions such as Vitiligo. While ViTiX re-establishes a normal level of melanin in the skin over a 2-4 month period, ViTicoLor Gel adds gradual camouflage colour to the skin over a few days to reduce the visible signs of the condition.
Abilar
For over 400 years the wound healing power of Norwegian Spruce Resin has been harnessed by the inhabitants of Northern Finland. Now, scientists and clinicians working together have begun to understand the intricate mechanisms of action of this remarkable compound and have created a Class IIb Medical Device - Abilar® Resin Salve to bring this traditional medicine up to the exacting standards of 21st Century wound care.
Abicin
Abicin 30% Resin Lacquer is a new treatment for fungal nail infections or onychomycosis. It is based on the resin from Norwegian Spruce trees which has powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties.
