About DermaHarmony Skin Care and Products
DermaHarmony is a privately owned corporation devoted to helping psoriasis sufferers listen to their bodies and take action. Headquartered in beautiful Portland, Maine, DermaHarmony and its products were developed out of necessity.
 Original founder Dennis Caris personally suffered from the severe itching, scaling, and inflammation associated with psoriasis for years. In 1995, he was hospitalized in the Psoriasis Wing of Dartmouth College's Mary Hitchcock Hospital for treatment of this debilitating disorder. Shortly thereafter, the FDA re-categorized psoriasis as an ailment rather than a disease, which resulted in the elimination of healthcare coverage for this type of hospitalization. The Mary Hitchcock Hospital's Psoriasis Wing subsequently closed its doors.
In 1996, Mr. Caris assembled a group of leading doctors, chemists, pharmacists and pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop a line of products based on the active ingredients found in the medications used during his hospital treatment. The result...the Skin-Plaque Solution™ line of products. After successful clinical testing at the New England Chemistry Center, the products were brought to market in order to help the millions of people who suffer from serious skin disorders.
By 2005, it was clear that the Skin-Plaque products worked extremely well to relieve discomfort of psoriasis outbreaks, but that more support was needed for increased prevention and longer remission. The company was reorganized and re-branded to offer products under the direction of new CEO David Addison. In 2006 DermaHarmony, or D3 Development, Inc., acquired the Skin-Plaque Solution™ brand and product formulations from CarisPharma, Inc. Dennis Caris, wanting a less stressful life, purchased an inn in Old Orchard Beach, Maine — the Caris Landings by the Sea.
Under the direction of Integrative Medical Specialist M. Smith, Nurse Practitioner and her team of medical professionals, DermaHarmony continues to work diligently, researching and developing additional alternative approaches to helping those with psoriasis and other serious skin conditions. The DermaHarmony team strives to promote healing from the inside out, starting with nutrition, core supplementation, diet, and lifestyle. We offer a free skin assessment and sample psoriasis diet meal plan to help you get started on a healthy recovery. Our exceptional line of pharmaceutical-grade nutrients - DermaEssentials™, DermaHarmony D-3, and DermaDetox™ - were formulated after a comprehensive review of the published work of holistic, psoriasis and nutritional experts. Our new goal became clear - to offer a user-friendly, nutritionally-based product line that helps prevent serious skin conditions from flaring-up.
New CEO David K. Addison suffers from rosacea, and M. Smith, Nurse Practitioner has a history of severe acne and seborrheic dermatitis; both are dedicated to helping others with a variety of skin conditions to look and feel better! At DermaHarmony we believe that strengthening the immune system and making healthful changes in lifestyle can help to prevent disease. Though DermaHarmony rejects many of the conventional treatments and may initially be ridiculed by many orthodox practitioners, it is difficult to argue with our results.
The vision of Skin-Plaque Solution™ and DermaHarmony™ remains focused on the continued research and development required to improve and expand our line of products, as well as yield new products to treat a variety of serious skin disorders.

Sincerely,
David Addison &
