General facts about helo® skincare products

What ingredients can be found in helo® PSO?

helo® PSO contains three main active ingredients; Boswellia, vitamin B12 and urea.

It also contains shea butter,
almond oil, coconut oil and olive oil.

What are the benefits of Boswellia?

The resin of the Boswellia tree is thought to have huge benefits to the skin thanks to its antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties. Its antioxidants can help to neutralise free radicals, contributing to healthier, softer skin. It also contains compounds that may help protect the skin from oxidative stress, which can lead to premature ageing and skin damage.

What are the benefits of vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 may help to reduce skin irritation and alleviate redness.

What are the benefits of urea?

Urea can support the skin’s natural barrier function, which is crucial for preventing moisture loss and protecting the skin from irritants. At higher concentrations, such as the concentration in helo® PSO, urea is a keratolytic agent, meaning it can also help to exfoliate dead cells on the skin’s surface.

How do I apply helo® PSO?

Squeeze a small amount of helo® PSO cream onto the fingertips. Apply to the affected area in small dots, spreading evenly and massaging in a circular motion until fully absorbed. Use enough cream to cover the affected area and don’t apply excessive pressure, especially if the skin is sensitive. Let the cream fully absorb (this shouldn’t take long) before getting dressed or coming into contact with fabrics.

Can I use other products to supplement helo® PSO?

Yes. A rich cream used as a supplement between flair ups will help to keep the skin soft and supple.

Will I have a reaction to helo® PSO?

All ingredients in helo® PSO are safe to use. However, everyone’s skin is different, and individuals can develop sensitivities to products. If a reaction occurs, stop using the cream and, if necessary, consult a medical professional.

Is there anyone who shouldn’t use helo® PSO?

Children under three years old, pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use helo® PSO after consulting a doctor. For anyone using the cream, we always recommend a patch test, particularly if the skin is very sensitive. Apply a small amount of cream to the forearm or inner thigh and wait 24 hours to ensure no reactions, before continuing to use.

The cream is pink, will it stain my clothes?

The natural pink colour of helo® PSO comes from the ingredient vitamin B12 and it can cause stains and discolouration to clothes and fabrics if not properly absorbed into the skin. To avoid this, apply a thin layer of cream and allow it to fully absorb before dressing or coming into contact with fabrics such as bed sheets. If discolouration does occur as a result of a fabric coming into contact with the cream, it should disappear after washing.

Is helo® PSO vegan?

Yes! All of the ingredients in the cream are plant-based.

Does helo® PSO contain parabens?

No. The cream is free from harmful parabens.

Does helo® PSO contain perfume?

No. The product is completely fragrance free to minimise the risk of allergic reactions.

Is helo® PSO dermatologically tested?

Yes. The product is fully dermatologically tested. However, as with all skin products, there may be a reaction in some rare cases. If this happens, stop using the cream and consult a medical professional.

Has helo® PSO been tested on animals?

No, we do not test our products on animals.
