Its ingredients and what they do in the body

USP progesterone, 1000 mg per ounce. This is the ingredient that identifies the cream. Dr. Norman's tube declares that concentration and describes the transformation of diosgenin into progesterone through its MNCT process. This is a manufacturer statement, not a measurement of this cream's absorption. Concentration per ounce does not specify the milligrams in each inch applied. The package does not quantify that amount or give the formula a specific use for a hormonal function.

Papaya fruit extract (Carica papaya). The tube lists a fruit extract, not papaya oil or a quantity of papain. As ingredient context, COSMILE Europe, the Cosmetics Europe ingredient database, classifies it as a skin conditioner: it helps maintain the skin in good condition. This is a general cosmetic function; it does not demonstrate a hormonal effect of this cream. The tube does not declare its concentration.

Glycerin. It appears in the tube's ingredient list without an individual amount. COSMILE Europe describes its ability to bind moisture in the skin and in the formula. This context explains its relationship to skin hydration; it does not measure how much this product hydrates or how its progesterone is absorbed. The plant or synthetic origin of this tube's glycerin is not declared.

Sunflower, jojoba, buriti and evening primrose oils. The package identifies sunflower seed oil (Helianthus annus, as printed), jojoba seed oil (Simmondsia chinensis), buriti fruit oil (Mauritia flexuosa) and evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis). These are ingredients in the skin-applied formula; individual amounts and results for each oil in this product are not stated.

Wild yam, clover, ginseng and arnica. The tube lists Dioscorea villosa and Panax ginseng root extracts, and Trifolium pratense and Arnica montana flower extracts. Wild yam extract is listed separately from USP progesterone: the list does not present them as the same ingredient. It does not declare amounts or standardisation for these extracts. Their presence alone does not establish a hormonal result from this cream.

These explanations describe normal body functions; they are not results measured with this product.

What is Dr. Norman's Papaya progesterone cream for?

Per the label, it is a «Progesterone Papaya Cream»: a USP progesterone cream for men and women, for transdermal use only. The tube names no other use. It does explain where the progesterone comes from: «Transdermal lipoceutical USP Microprocessed Natural Chemistry Transformation (MNCT) from Diosgenin to Progesterone with Nanotechnology exclusively for Dr. Norman's». Put simply, diosgenin from wild yam is turned into USP progesterone through the maker's own process, and that ready-made progesterone is what goes into the cream. The tube does not say why it has papaya.
