Important factors to consider when applying a cream to your face or body:

• Samuel Epstein, MD, in his book, The Safe Shoppers Bible encourages consumers to avoid creams and cosmetics with ethoxylated wetting agents, such as PEG 8 Stearate, PEG 100 Stearate, Polyethylene Glycol, Polysorbate 60, or Polysorbate 80, which may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a known carcinogen. Kokoro® Balance Creme For Women contains NONE of these possible carcinogens.
  
  
• Kokoro® creams contain no surfactants, which are wetting agents.
   
  
• Kokoro® creams meet vegan and vegetarian standards. Two ingredients that vegans object to, hyaluronic acid and keratin, are found in other creams.
   
  
• Kokoro® creams use a natural, full-spectrum preservative, phenoxyethanol, as opposed to methyl, butyl, or propyl-paraben which are listed as skin irritants by Dr. Epstein.
   
  
• Kokoro® creams are non-comedogenic - they won't clog skin pores. Isopropyl mearistate contributes to blackheads and can be found in other creams. Kokoro® cremes can be used on the face directly under make-up as a moisturizer with no oily or waxy feeling.
   
  
• You will not find any "pixie dust" herbs or extracts added for marketing appeal. Women seeking natural progesterone are typically wanting to eliminate symptoms attributed to estrogen dominance. Why would you then want any estrogen in your progesterone cream?
   
  
• All ingredients in Kokoro® creams are either plant or mineral derived.
   
  
• Kokoro® creams use no animal products or byproducts, nor any petrochemical based ingredients.
   
  
• Kokoro® creams are cruelty-free - NO animal testing.
