We provide full ingredient disclosure on all of our products so what

you see on the label is what you get. To ensure the effectiveness and

shelf life stability, it is necessary to use some standard excipients in

the formula to prevent the breakdown of the formula itself. We strive

to use only plant and mineral derived ingredients whenever possible

for these excipients.

In addition, our products do not contain parabens, mineral oil, phthalates,

sodium laurel sulfate or soy. Our fermented plant derived progesterone,

Dhea and estriol are derived from wild yam. Our products have never

been tested on animals.
