Products for psoriasis-prone skin and scalp, picked by ingredient list

546 products in our library pass every rule for psoriasis: free of fragrance and drying alcohol. The best of each type are below, picked by code from their full ingredient lists and updated November 6, 2026.

The catch: a product can suit you by its ingredient list and still not suit your skin, so patch test anything new and see a doctor if a problem doesn't settle.

Look for fragrance-free products with no drying alcohol on the label. Sensitive, eczema-prone and rosacea-prone skin usually does better without added fragrance, and simple alcohols can dry and sting. Every product on this page was picked from its full ingredient list, and psoriasis needs a doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan, so see a doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist first.

What we leave out, and why

Our picks leave out added fragrance, listed as Parfum, Fragrance or Aroma, since fragrance is the most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy. They also leave out drying alcohols like Alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol when high on the list, since these can dry and sting sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are different and fine. Unscented can still hide a masking fragrance that covers other odors, so only the full ingredient list proves fragrance-free.

  • Fragrance-free
  • No drying alcohol

A simple routine for psoriasis

  1. 1

    Read the full ingredient list first

    Read the full ingredient list first. Ingredients run from highest amount to lowest, down to about 1%. "Unscented" can still contain a masking fragrance, so only the full list proves fragrance-free. Watch for Parfum, Fragrance or Aroma. Avoid high-listed drying alcohols like Alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are fine.

  2. 2

    Patch test anything new before use

    Patch test anything new before using it all over. Apply a little to a small area, such as inside the elbow, for several days. Fragrance is the most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy. Sensitive, eczema-prone and rosacea-prone skin usually does better without added scent.

  3. 3

    Choose products with helpful ingredients

    Look for helpful ingredients such as urea, ceramides and colloidal oatmeal. Urea hydrates and softens rough, thick or flaky skin. Ceramides are skin-identical lipids (fats) that help hold the skin barrier together. Colloidal oatmeal, finely ground oat, soothes itchy, dry skin. Products support daily care, but see a doctor for a diagnosis and a plan for your psoriasis.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in products for psoriasis?

Read the full ingredient list, not the front of the box. Every pick on this hub is fragrance-free and free of drying alcohols. Helpful ingredients include salicylic acid, urea, lactic acid, ceramides and colloidal oatmeal. Ingredients are listed from highest amount to lowest, down to about 1%.

What products suit psoriasis on the scalp?

Coal tar is used for scalp psoriasis, and it slows skin-cell build-up. Salicylic acid, an oil-soluble exfoliant (a product that sloughs off dead skin), is another ingredient to look for. Psoriasis needs a doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan, so see a doctor first. Products support daily care.

What should I check on a face product for psoriasis?

Check the full list for Parfum, Fragrance or Aroma. Fragrance is the most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy, a skin reaction to a product, and sensitive skin usually does better without it. Patch test first: apply a little inside the elbow for several days before using it all over.

Is alcohol in a psoriasis product a problem?

It depends on the type and where it sits on the list. Fatty alcohols, such as cetyl alcohol, are different and fine. Simple alcohols like alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol can dry and sting dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin when high on the list. Every pick here passes this rule.
