A new steroid-free cream derived from deer antler velvet extract has arrived in the UK, promising to support skin recovery from burns, cuts, eczema, psoriasis, acne, and dermatitis.
Bio Velvet, available in a 50ml jar, combines sustainably harvested New Zealand deer antler velvet with botanicals such as aloe vera and tea tree oil. The product is marketed as safe for all ages, including infants from six months, and is free from steroids and antibiotics.
A veterinary scientist behind the formula
Dr Doron Zur, the veterinarian and scientist who developed Bio Velvet, first encountered deer antler velvet while working in New Zealand two decades ago. An Israeli vet since 1990, he has conducted clinical research on the material since 2003. Dr Zur initially created pet supplements under brands like Super-Flex and Bio Velpet before formulating Bio Velvet for human skin.
“Deer velvet is nature’s most powerful regenerative tissue; it grows back every year. Harnessing that renewal in skincare is transformative,” says Dr Zur. “Our goal is simple: to help skin recover naturally, safely, and effectively.”
How Bio Velvet works
The cream’s key ingredient, deer antler velvet extract, contains over 400 active compounds, including natural growth factors and amino acids that boost circulation and trigger skin repair. Combined with aloe vera and tea tree oil, it aims to soothe inflammation and protect against infection.
Users have reported visible improvements in eczema, burns, and psoriasis within days, with results documented in patients aged six months to seventy. Its dual action addresses both regeneration and protection, making it suitable for everyday irritations and chronic conditions.

Historical and regulatory context
Deer antler velvet has a long history in traditional medicine, particularly in Asia, valued for its collagen-rich composition and growth factors. New Zealand remains a leading producer, harvesting velvet humanely under strict welfare standards. While supplements face scrutiny for limited evidence in athletic performance, topical applications are gaining attention for potential wound-healing and anti-inflammatory effects, though UK-specific trials are still pending.
Bio Velvet states: “Bio Velvet’s formulation is FDA approved; clinical testing and regulatory approvals may vary by region.” In the UK, it meets cosmetic standards as a non-medicinal cream.
Availability and launch
Bio Velvet officially launches nationwide during the week of 15 October 2025 and will be available via the official website and select pharmacies and retailers. Priced for everyday use, it targets skin issues from minor cuts to persistent dermatitis. Editors, dermatology specialists, and health journalists are invited to request samples for review.
