Many people with psoriasis, neurodermatitis or simply sensitive skin often suffer from dryness, itching or redness. Those affected often resort to creams that contain cortisone or other chemical active ingredients. These may provide relief at first, but can be extremely damaging to the skin in the long term. A gentle alternative for relieving dry and irritated skin is products with natural ingredients. We are aware of the great potential of natural ingredients and therefore ensure that our care products are formulated naturally. Our products do not contain any additives such as perfume, irritating alcohols or parabens.
Why are natural ingredients better for the skin?
The skin is a sensitive organ that can react to foreign (chemical) substances with irritation or allergic reactions. Natural ingredients from plants, on the other hand, are better tolerated because they contain similar substances to those found in your own skin. They do not overtax the sensitive tissue and can support its natural barrier function.
Many plant substances also have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties . Natural creams can alleviate the symptoms of neurodermatitis, psoriasis or eczema and protect the skin from drying out. They are also free of preservatives or fragrances, which could also be harmful to the skin.
What ingredients does natüür use in its products?
For our creams and care products we only use natural ingredients that have a gentle and effective effect on the skin. A particularly effective ingredient is the extract of neem leaves .
The substances contained in neem, such as nimbolides, have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The extract of neem leaves can effectively relieve redness and itching, especially in cases of psoriasis and neurodermatitis.
Other ingredients in our products are aloe vera for a soothing effect , shea butter to retain moisture and olive fruit oil to moisturize the skin .
How to recognize natural ingredients
When choosing a product for sensitive skin, it is important to read the list of ingredients carefully. Natural active ingredients are often highlighted in the name or product description.
Terms such as "natural cosmetics", "plant-based" or "chemical-free" also indicate that many ingredients are of natural origin. However, avoid products that contain large amounts of cortisone, preservatives, mineral oils, paraffins or essential oils.
Typical natural ingredients include:
- Aloe Vera
- Argan oil
- Avocado oil
- Calendula
- Hemp oil
- Hyaluronic acid
- Jojoba oil
- chamomile
- Cocoa butter
- Shea butter
- almond oil
- Rosehip oil
- Devil's claw root
- Wheat germ oil
- zinc
Even if not all ingredients come from nature, chemical additives in creams for sensitive skin should remain the exception.
Natural help for neurodermatitis
Many neurodermatitis patients suffer particularly from intense itching and reddened and cracked skin. Natural ingredients can provide valuable relief here. For example, chamomile and linden blossom have a direct anti-inflammatory and soothing effect on irritated skin.
Zinc supports the healing of cracks , while almond oil and shea butter restore the skin's natural barrier function with their moisturizing fatty acids. Products containing soothing aloe vera are suitable for acute, severely reddened neurodermatitis flare-ups .
The anti-inflammatory effect of plants such as calendula or lavender can provide long-term relief from the itching associated with neurodermatitis . Many sufferers report a significant reduction in symptoms after applying natural creams and lotions twice a day.
These give the irritated skin time to regenerate and help with the wound healing process, instead of just numbing the symptoms in the short term like cortisone. Natural care can therefore be a gentle therapeutic measure for neurodermatitis. Our products are also ideal for neurodermatitis!
Regular use for sustainable care
In order for natural products to fully develop their positive effect on the skin, it is important to use them correctly. Creams with natural ingredients should be applied to the affected areas of skin twice a day to maintain the moisturizing and soothing effect throughout the day. Consistent use over a longer period of time can achieve lasting effects such as an improved barrier function or a reduction in symptoms.
