Product Overview
DGL Transdermal Cream is a specialized SVAFF Ayurvedic formulation designed to support skin health and systemic balance through transdermal absorption. Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) is licorice root that has been purified to remove its heating qualities, making it ideal for individuals sensitive to heat and inflammation. Traditionally used to ease inflammatory conditions, DGL is beneficial for skin concerns such as eczema, psoriasis, and herpes, while also offering support for digestive, respiratory, and adrenal health. It helps treat respiratory problems, increases healthy phlegm, and decreases stress by stimulating the adrenal gland to promote healthy cortisol levels. Additionally, it has been used in treatments for breast and prostate cancer due to its supportive role in cellular health and detoxification.
In Ayurveda, excessive toxin accumulation (amavisha) can make detoxification a delicate process, as improper elimination may cause further tissue irritation. DGL helps moderate the acidic nature of amavisha, binding to toxins and assisting in their safe removal. It also lubricates and protects tissues, making it a gentle yet effective choice for individuals dealing with inflammation, toxicity, and skin irritation.
Formulated with nourishing Organic Shea Butter and a synergistic blend of essential oils, this cream provides a deeply hydrating and cooling effect. Known for its ability to soothe and pacify Pitta dosha, DGL Transdermal Cream helps counteract excess heat in the body, reducing irritation, redness, and inflammatory responses. It can be applied before thermogenic transdermal creams to help create a protective buffer, reducing or eliminating excessive heat and Pitta aggravation. Regular use helps calm irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin resilience.
For additional cooling support, DGL Herbal Synergy Nectar and DGL Herbal Powder can be used alongside DGL Transdermal Cream. All three are safe to use with other SVAFF products and may be combined to enhance overall Pitta-balancing and detoxifying benefits.

- Efficient Delivery: Approximately 75% of the applied product is absorbed into the bloodstream, providing direct access to target tissues.
- Gentle on Digestion: This method bypasses the digestive system—ideal for individuals with sensitive digestion or compromised liver function—ensuring active ingredients are delivered without unwanted metabolic stress.
- Intelligent Formulation: Formulated with Organic Shea Butter and pure essential oils to support sustained release and absorption of active ingredients.
