Eczema Treatment for Sensitive & Irritated Skin
Eczema Treatment
Eczema causes dry, itchy, and irritated skin, often linked to a weakened skin barrier.
Gentle, fragrance-free skincare can help soothe symptoms and support long-term comfort.
Psoriasis Care for Sensitive, Dry, and Irritated Skin
Psoriasis-prone skin can feel dry, tight, and uncomfortable, often with visible patches, flaking, and irritation. Supporting the skin barrier with gentle, fragrance-free care can help improve comfort and reduce dryness over time.
Caring for psoriasis-prone skin focuses on maintaining hydration and protecting the skin barrier. When the barrier is weakened, moisture escapes more easily, leading to increased dryness and sensitivity. Using a fragrance-free moisturiser for psoriasis-prone skin can help restore balance while keeping the skin calm and supported.
Ingredients such as glycerin, ceramides, and occlusives are commonly recommended to help lock in moisture and protect the skin from external irritants. Avoiding harsh products and keeping your routine simple and consistent can make a noticeable difference.
For those looking for a gentle, natural option, snail mucin–based skincare may help support hydration and overall skin comfort due to its soothing and barrier-supporting properties. Learn more in our guide on how to care for psoriasis-prone skin and discover practical ways to manage dryness and irritation.
If you are building a routine, explore our gentle creams for dry, sensitive skin or discover barrier-supporting skincare designed to work with your skin, not against it.
If symptoms are persistent or severe, always follow your doctor’s advice and use prescribed treatments where necessary.Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes red, scaly, and often itchy patches on the skin. It is commonly linked to an overactive immune response and a weakened skin barrier, which can lead to dryness, irritation, and ongoing discomfort.
If you would like to better understand how psoriasis relates to other skin conditions, see our psoriasis guide, complete eczema guide, and dermatitis guide for causes, triggers, and long-term care approaches.
Our products are suitable for psoriasis-prone skin and can help support comfort across common forms, including plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, and scalp psoriasis.
Because psoriasis often overlaps with other conditions such as eczema and dermatitis, taking a gentle, barrier-focused approach to skincare is key to improving symptoms over time.
Common Symptoms of Psoriasis
Psoriasis can present in several ways, including:
• Red, inflamed patches of skin
• Dry, flaky, or scaly areas
• Itching, burning, or discomfort
• Thickened or cracked skin
Symptoms can vary depending on the type of psoriasis and the area of the body affected.
Areas Commonly Affected
Psoriasis may affect different parts of the body, including:
• Scalp (often confused with dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis)
• Elbows and knees
• Hands and feet
• Face and sensitive areas
If your symptoms affect the scalp, you may also find it helpful to explore our scalp care guide and scalp treatment options.
How to Manage Psoriasis
Managing psoriasis is not about quick fixes. Instead, focus on:
• Supporting the skin barrier
• Keeping the skin hydrated
• Avoiding harsh or irritating products
• Maintaining a consistent skincare routine
Over time, this approach can help reduce irritation, improve comfort, and support healthier skin.
Treatment & Daily Support
For ongoing support, our skincare is designed to calm irritation, hydrate dry skin, and support the skin’s natural barrier with consistent use.
Our Atopic Cream is a gentle, fragrance-free option designed to support sensitive, dry, and psoriasis-prone skin.

Why Snail Mucin Works
Bragan Skincare Snail Mucin
Why Snail Mucin Works:
Snail mucin, also known as snail secretion filtrate, is a powerhouse of beneficial ingredients for the skin. Each component offers unique properties that contribute to its overall effectiveness in skincare.
The following are the key components of snail mucin, along with their respective benefits:
1. Hyaluronic Acid:
- Benefit: Hydration.
- Function: Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture. This helps keep the skin hydrated, plump, and smooth, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Glycolic Acid:
- Benefits: exfoliation and regeneration.
- Function: Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This results in a brighter, more even complexion and helps reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
3. Allantoin:
- Benefits: healing and soothing.
- Function: Allantoin is known for its healing properties. It promotes cell proliferation and regeneration, helping to repair damaged skin and reduce irritation. It also has a soothing effect, which is beneficial for sensitive or inflamed skin.
4. Proteins and Peptides:
- Benefits: firming and anti-ageing.
- Function: These components help to improve skin elasticity and firmness. Peptides can stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining the skin’s structural integrity and reducing the signs of ageing.
5. Antioxidants:
- Benefit:
- Function: Antioxidants help to neutralise free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage skin cells and accelerate ageing. By protecting the skin from oxidative stress, antioxidants help maintain a youthful appearance.
6. Antimicrobial Properties:
- Benefit: Preventing infections.
- Function: Snail mucin has natural antimicrobial properties that help protect the skin from bacterial infections. People with conditions like acne or atopic dermatitis, which compromise the skin barrier, particularly benefit from the numerous components of snail mucin.
In summary:
Snail mucin's unique combination of hydrating, exfoliating, healing, firming, and protective properties makes it an exceptional ingredient for skincare. Whether you are looking to hydrate dry skin, heal damaged areas, reduce signs of ageing, or protect against environmental stressors, snail mucin offers comprehensive benefits that can enhance your skin’s health and appearance.

Where It All Started
Where it all started:
Hippocrates is considered to be the father of modern medicine because of his books, of which there are more than 70. He described, in a scientific manner, many diseases and their treatments after detailed observation. He lived about 2500 years ago. He was the first scientist to believe that diet, the surrounding environment, and people’s lifestyles contributed to any ailments or diseases that they fell victim to. Prior to that, people thought that illnesses, etc., were punishment from the gods.
Rather than using chemicals, Hippocrates set about using nature as his pharmacy by using snails and snail slime to treat skin imperfections. We are proud to follow in his footsteps and revert back to what nature provides.
A family-run business, Bragan Skincare has created a range of creams using snail mucin to treat problematic skin naturally and effectively. Nestled in the drumlins of County Monaghan, Ireland, Kieran ran his snail farm and saw first-hand the positive effects that snail mucin had on his own skin.
Extensive research has revealed the benefits of snail mucin (snail secretion) on the skin. Following his research about all thing’s snail, Kieran created sample products and began reaching out to local volunteers.
Volunteers with a range of ages and skin conditions tested the sample creams. The cream proved to be extremely beneficial, providing much-needed treatment and relief for those with skin conditions such as Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis and many others.
After a 2-year search, Kieran managed to find a company in Italy that was prepared to come on the journey with him, and the first commercial product was launched in July 2022. Since then, we have helped thousands of people of all ages, from 3 weeks old to those in their nineties.
