Psoriasis is notorious for its unpredictable flare-ups, making it a challenging condition that impacts not just the body, but also the mind.
The physical discomfort can range from mild to severe, with symptoms such as itching, pain, and in some cases, joint issues like psoriatic arthritis. However, it’s the emotional toll that often feels just as heavy; affecting self esteem, causing social isolation, and contributing to mental health struggles.
Living with psoriasis can be overwhelming.
The visible nature of the condition can lead to embarrassment and even depression. While some individuals manage mild symptoms, others endure significant discomfort and frustration.
Despite ongoing research, psoriasis remains somewhat mysterious, with the exact cause still unclear. The World Health Organisation estimates that psoriasis affects around 125 million people globally; about 2-3% of the population. This widespread condition is yet to be fully understood.
For those managing psoriasis, the lack of a clear cause or cure can be disheartening. That's why it’s important to explore different ways to manage both the physical and emotional effects of the condition. At Active Silver, we understand the challenges living with psoriasis can bring, which is why we have a collection of products designed to calm and soothe many skin conditions, including psoriasis.

The benefits of natural ingredients for psoriasis care.
Several natural ingredients are particularly beneficial for managing psoriasis symptoms. Here are some of the most effective ingredients that we use in our products:

Psoriasis can lead to cracked and damaged skin, and using Colloidal Silver topically can promote faster healing by protecting the skin from infection and allowing damaged tissue to repair itself more effectively.

It helps to lock in hydration, reducing the dryness and flakiness of psoriasis plaques. Keeping the skin well moisturised can help soothe irritation and minimise the appearance of scaly patches.

- Jojoba Oil: With a composition similar to the skin’s natural sebum, jojoba oil is easily absorbed and helps repair the skin barrier.
