What is the main ingredient in Oregon skincare that helps psoriasis?

Modified on Tue, 29 Oct at 1:53 PM

Oregon Grape Root (OGR) is the main plant-based active ingredient in Oregon skin and hair care products.


OGR is a native plant of North America and has been extensively examined as a treatment for psoriasis in several published studies. 

 

These studies have found that compounds isolated from extracts of OGR possess inhibitory activity against Lipoxygenase (an enzyme involved in psoriatic skin cell production). 

 

At the cellular level, OGR has been shown to guard against accelerated activity during the process of keratinocytes (skin cell production) which can help supress the production of skin plaques.
