Linotar – Product Profile / Key Benefits

The Linotar Treatment System has been especially developed to control the symptoms of psoriasis and eczema and ease the symptoms of cold sores.

The success of the Linotar Range of products is based on the unique Meyer Zall Laboratories’ Emzaloid™ Technology, a trans dermal delivery system containing a mixture of natural essential fatty acids that were first identified from the skin of the banana.

Target Conditions:

• Primarily developed for the treatment and relief of psoriasis and eczema on the skin and scalp.
• May also provide relief for symptoms of cold sores.
• Specifically, Linotar Gel 1 is indicated for these conditions.
• Some sources suggest it can be used for pustular psoriasis on the soles of the feet and palms, but with medical supervision for other areas.
• Beneficial for other dry, itchy, flaky, or inflamed skin conditions.

Key Properties and Advantages:

• Unique Delivery System: Utilizes the patented Emzaloid™ Technology, which is a base of essential fatty acids derived from the skin of the banana. This system is believed to enhance the deep delivery of the active ingredient.
• Active Ingredient: Contains Emulsified Coal Tar. While coal tar has traditional drawbacks like strong odor and staining, Linotar aims to minimize these issues.
• Rapid Penetration: The unique delivery system allows for rapid and almost complete penetration of the coal tar into the affected skin layers.
• Reduced Side Effects of Traditional Coal Tar: Linotar is described as virtually odorless, with a slight coal tar smell that quickly dissipates. It also aims to reduce the yellow staining commonly associated with coal tar products.
• Clinically Proven: Linotar Gel 1 is described as clinically proven for effective treatment and relief.
• Symptom Relief: Effectively relieves inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with psoriasis and eczema.
• Skin Barrier Repair: Helps to repair, hydrate, and restore the skin’s natural barrier.
• Reduces Lesions: Proven to effectively reduce the number and size of psoriasis lesions.
• Moisturizing Properties: Some products in the Linotar range, like Linocream, are enriched with Vitamin E and Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids to replace lost moisture and minimize dryness.
• Scalp Care: Linoscalp leave-in Conditioner, rich in fatty Omega acids and collagen, helps activate the scalp’s natural repair mechanism, relieving symptoms of scalp psoriasis and preventing flare-ups.
• Ease of Use: Generally applied as a thin layer 2 to 3 times daily, massaged gently, and left to dry.
• Customer Testimonials: Some users report immediate relief, reduction in flaking, and overall improvement in their skin condition.

Important Considerations:

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Linotar is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
• Sun Sensitivity: Coal tar can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so direct sun exposure after application should be avoided.
• Allergies: Individuals with known allergies to coal tar should not use Linotar products.
• Potential Side Effects: While generally well-tolerated, coal tar may cause irritation or acne-like eruptions in some individuals. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Temporary hair discoloration is a rare possibility.

Conclusion:

Linotar products, particularly Linotar Gel 1, leverage a unique delivery system to enhance the effectiveness of coal tar in treating psoriasis and eczema while minimizing some of its traditional drawbacks. The product range, which includes Linocream and Linoscalp, offers solutions for both skin and scalp conditions, focusing on relieving symptoms, repairing the skin barrier, and reducing lesions.

In summary, this unique base:

• • Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and enhances the deep delivery of a low concentration of emulsified coal tar to the deepest layers of the skin with very effective results.
