The Smarter Way to Treat Psoriasis
Psoriasis affects more than 125 million people worldwide. Linotar's unique 3-product system uses patented Emzaloid™ technology to deliver active ingredients deep into affected skin repairing, restoring and hydrating where it matters most.
About Linotar
Linotar is a South African dermatological treatment system specifically developed for the management of psoriasis and very dry, damaged skin conditions. Formulated with uniquely patented Emzaloid™ technology, Linotar delivers active ingredients deeper and faster than conventional topical treatments.
Emzaloid™ is a skin penetration enhancer that encapsulates coal tar in small vesicles of essential fatty acids, ensuring rapid and effective delivery into affected skin. Unlike other coal tar preparations, Linotar is easier to apply, produces substantially less odour and staining, and has been clinically shown to be as effective as Vitamin D analogues.
The Linotar system consists of three targeted products Linotar Gel 1, Linoscalp and Linocream designed to work together for maximum results. Used consistently, the system helps reduce the number and size of psoriasis lesions, relieves itch, and restores the skin's natural protective barrier.

Your Psoriasis Questions, Answered.
What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition where the body's immune response causes inflammation of the skin, resulting in red, raised, flaky patches covered with silvery scales. It can affect the scalp, knees, elbows, palms, soles and other areas.
How does the Linotar treatment system work?
Linotar uses the patented Emzaloid™ technology to encapsulate coal tar in essential fatty acids. This ensures the active ingredients penetrate deep into affected areas quickly and effectively repairing, restoring and hydrating the skin.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Linotar products are available without a prescription at all leading pharmacies. Linotar Gel 1 can also be claimed through your Medical Aid.
How long before I see results?
Results vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some users experience relief within days, while deeper psoriasis may take a number of weeks of consistent daily use. The key is regular application.
Can I use all three products together?
Yes and this is recommended. The three products are designed to work as a complete system. Linoscalp and Linocream both contain Emzaloid™ technology that speeds up the effect of Linotar Gel 1 when used together.
