Coal Tar Treatment for Psoriasis
The first-to-market coal tar gel with patented Emzaloid™ technology. Fast, effective relief from psoriasis of the body and scalp — easier to apply, with substantially less odour and staining than traditional coal tar preparations. No prescription required.
Linotar Gel 1 is a first-line topical coal tar treatment for psoriasis. Coal tar has been used for over a century to treat psoriasis, either on its own or alongside other therapies. Studies have shown Linotar Gel to be as effective as Vitamin D analogues and more effective than traditional coal tar preparations for relieving psoriasis symptoms.
What sets Linotar apart is its novel Emzaloid™ technology — a skin penetration enhancer that encapsulates coal tar in tiny vesicles made of essential fatty acids, ensuring quick and effective delivery into the affected areas. The result is a 3-pronged approach to psoriasis: Repairs · Restores · Hydrates.
Compared to other coal tar preparations, Linotar Gel 1 is more effective, easier to apply, and has substantially less odour and staining.
