- Emerita Pro-Gest Original Natural Progesterone Cream - 4 oz. (112 g) Who knew a little tube of cream could change the world? In 1978 Emerita had a revolutionary idea: that there was not enough choice when it came to support for PMS and peri/menopause. So Emerita created Pro-Gest to give women a much-deserved alternative. Emerita Pro-Gest Original Natural Progesterone Cream is the only progesterone cream that’s been clinically-tested. Emerita Pro-Gest Original Natural Progesterone Cream is the best-selling progesterone cream available anywhere (and has been for many years). And now Emerita Pro-Gest Original Natural Progesterone Cream is paraben-free. Why a Paraben-Free choice? Emerita recently learned of a 2004 research study suggesting that exposure to parabens may have negative health effects. And while the results of the study are not conclusive, Emerita decided to be proactive. Emerita immediately began developing paraben-free formulations for their products. Just to be on the safe side. About Emerita Emerita (e-MER-ita) is a woman-owned company that's been in the business of serving women since the 1970s. Emerita began as a family business, which youngest daughter Sharon MacFarland took over in 1983 at the age of 23. Since then Sharon built the company into Emerita: A leading national brand of natural wellness products for women. In the early days, Emerita marketed natural menopause products through the Transitions For Health catalog and through physicians' offices. The catalog even appeared in an episode of Sex & the City. Then in the 1990s, Emerita's flagship progesterone cream, Pro-Gest, was introduced at natural food stores, launching a whole category of natural wellness products for mature women. Since then, Emerita has expanded its offerings to include sexual vitality, feminine care, health supplements and skin care products, as well. Emerita has long been a socially-responsible company that respects and empowers its employees, while operating in an open and collaborative fashion. Emerita also has a long history as an advocate for women, valuing education about women's health issues. Emerita is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, one of America's most beautiful cities and a wonderful place to live — naturally. Emerita's Philosophy Emerita understands that their business affects the environment and recognizes that it is their responsibility to care for the health and balance of the planet, just as they have been caring for the health and balance of women for the past 30 years. Emerita's aim is to improve what they do today is to benefit our planet today and the women of tomorrow.
