Chris,
Thanks for your input. The leaflets would lead you to believe that it is a
treatment. One of the statements says that it is a "user friendly skin
therapy for the relief of distressing skin conditions such as dermatitis,
urticaria, eczema and psoriasis., however, there is one small statement
which says that "This product is not a Pharmaceutical - medical product but
is an all natural skin therapy." So, despite all of the wording on the
leaflet which would lead you to believe it is a treatment, they have this
little statement which would keep them within the law. I doubt they will
sell much as it costs £8.90 for a 50g tube. They have a website -
www.salcura.com if you want to have a look. I will advise my H&S man not to
buy it anyway.

Never heard of this! It sounds "too good to be true" and I would be highly
sceptical of the claims made. Before and after pictures mean very little
unless accompanied by properly conducted, scientifically based studies. I
would be interested in the exact wording of their claims. Sounds to me as if
they might be selling this as a form of "treatment" in which case, unless
properly licensed, this is illegal.
