thanks for the update. Doesn't really answer my question however, as to which ingredient listed is the steroid? Anecdotally a lot of the prescribed steroid creams don't seem to do much anyway and without knowing which ingredient is the steroid I'm flummoxed trying to research it further.
Appreciate if you have no interest in it - assume you've read thousands of posts like this before :

Sorry Catherine, maybe I should have just opted out of posting in this thread, but I'll give it a go as I'm here.
#1 Yes I have seen posts like this many times on Psoriasis Club and those that make them usually get thrown out the door. No I'm not going to throw you out, but 99.9% .................. well no I will go as far as to say all of these types of things are never going to do anything for psoriasis and there are a lot of people pushing these scams. So no they do not interest me.
#2 As for what ingredient you listed is the steroid, I'm no expert but my guess would be none of them. And that is the whole point, they are not going to list the steroid as it's illegal.
I will always jump on these types of threads as I have seen so many people fall for the scams over the years, it annoys me that people are using the vulnerable in this way. What you need to do is have a good look around your favourite search engine and dig a bit deeper than the first page of results as they are probably paid for results in the first results and see what you can find, I'm not going to put links up here to results as it is against Psoriasis Club rules. But do your homework and you will find a lot of these so called treatments originate from the far east and contain illegal steroids that are not listed on the ingredients, and they are certainly not recommended by anyone other than the scammers.
Look at it like this:
1 cup of cheap coconut oil
1 spoon of goat milk
1 drop of mint essence
1 good dollop of Dovobet.
Sell it as Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Goat Milk Mint Psoriasis Cream with lots of great reviews and people will try it.
No mention of the illegal dovobet but I'm making bug bucks from you so I don't care.
You have heard of fake news, these are fake creams, and to be honest they could damage people and it makes me angry.
I'll get off my soap box as I have removed the links that were posted, but in closing I will say "See a dermatologist as these types of creams will probably do more harm than good, and they will soon empty your pocket of cash"
