Dermveda’s Ingredients: Clinically Supported Efficacy
Dermveda combines Sulfur, Curcuma longa (Turmeric), and Wrightia tinctoria (Sweet Indrajao) to target chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Clinical studies support their synergistic benefits:
-
Sulfur acts as a gentle keratolytic and anti-fungal agent. Research by Pasternack & Nedorost (2017) confirms its effectiveness in reducing oiliness, fungal growth, and inflammation in facial and scalp seborrheic dermatitis.

Curcumin, from turmeric, significantly reduces inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and IL-6, helping manage plaque psoriasis, as shown in Antony et al. (2008). It also promotes skin barrier repair and soothes redness and itch.

Wrightia tinctoria, validated in a study by Vijayan et al. (2007), offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory relief. It effectively reduces scaling and erythema in psoriasis and eczema patients.
