Why Phoilex Believes Botanicals Are Best
Before there were drugs for treating eczema and psoriasis there were botanicals. In fact, traditional medicine has turned to plants to treat a wide variety of skin ailments for thousands of years.
There’s no disputing the fact that drug-based medications are an invaluable tool for managing chronic skin conditions. Plant powered and clinically proven, Phoilex is designed to complement these eczema and psoriasis treatments with extra relief for itching, redness and irritation—and restore balance to the skin. For some, steroid-free Phoilex can maintain asymptomatic skin and stretch the time between drug-based courses of treatments on its own.
Botanical ingredients for topical and ingestible use can be extracted from fruits, herbs, flowers, roots and seeds. One upside of botanicals is that most are a natural source of antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients that the skin needs for optimal health. Plant-based ingredients have also been found to have far-reaching benefits throughout the body.
Phoilex spent three years developing its Phyto-Active Blend™ to ensure it delivers the best possible results for skin affected by eczema and psoriasis. This mix of seven ingredients was selected for their potential wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, barrier-reinforcing and skin-hydrating benefits. A rich source of antioxidants and fatty acids, hydrating grapeseed oil is used as the carrier for our Phyto-Active Blend™.
Calendula flower: Known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties and role in supporting the skin’s natural healing process, this extract helps soothe and hydrate dry, sensitive and chapped skin.
Nettle leaf: The source of a variety of powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, DNA-repair, healing and circulation-promoting benefits, this botanical also contains fatty acids that help strengthen the skin.
Arnica root: Beneficial for swollen or damaged skin, this botanical oil helps stimulate blood flow and features active anti-inflammatory and detoxifying compounds.
Mullein leaf: In addition to several potent types of antioxidants, this plant is a rich source of polysaccharides (long-chain sugars) that are known to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties that help soften, soothe and moisturize irritated skin.
Birch bark: The key component of this botanical ingredient is botulin, which provides anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-allergic benefits that soothe the skin as well as sore, inflamed muscles. Birch bark also promotes softer, smoother skin.
Chaga mushroom: This multitasking mushroom extract contains compounds that accelerate wound healing, alleviate inflammation, prevent enzymes from breaking down skin proteins and reduce skin stress caused by environmental factors.
Grapeseed Oil: This emollient is rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
In addition to this proprietary Phyto-Active Blend™, Active ReLeaf Spot Gel features an array of additional botanicals that target inflammation, promote wound healing and enhance skin hydration.
- Plant-derived squalane: A highly effective moisturizer with soothing benefits
- Shitake mushroom: An excellent natural source of vitamin D
- Hemp-derived CBD: This broad-spectrum, whole-plant extract soothes the skin and may reduce potential eczema and psoriasis triggers
- Bisabolol: This active compound from the chamomile plant offers skin-soothing benefits

Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis require life-long management with a combination of treatments that often evolves over time. The beauty of Phoilex’s botanical approach is that it offers naturally derived, steroid-free relief for flare-ups while extending the time between conventional drug-based treatments—and it’s safe for long-term use with or without other drug-based therapies.
