 Is my progesterone cream O.K?
by: Wray

Hi there I would never put a cream on my skin containing a carbomer. It's a synthetic compound made by mixing acrylic acid with sodium hydroxide. They say there are no toxicity symptoms attributable to it, but as there are many other natural agents which help thicken and stabilise a cream, why use it. Germall is a trade name for a combo of diazolidinyl urea and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate. Some people can have an allergic reaction to these. Although the FDA has given it's approval, I would never trust anything the FDA say! EWG give it a hazard rating of 5 and 4-6, see here and here. There are safer, more natural preservatives on the market. The rest of the ingredients are fine. Take care Wray
