So far, it's mostly men's sexual pleasure and health that's been addressed both by prescription drugs and the burgeoning sector of natural supplements. Fortunately, a few companies are paying attention to women's needs, and have developed stimulating creams that not only lube but also boost a woman's sensitivity and ability to orgasm more powerfully.

In these supplements the working ingredients are delivered by means of the innovative transdermal delivery system. By combining the botanical extracts and therapeutic nutrients with natural skin permeation enhancers such as olive squalane, important ingredients can cross the lipid barrier of the epidermis. The result is a greatly enhanced sexual sensations in a woman's body. Squalane is a great-molecular natural hydrocarbone (empirical formula C30 H62) which is easily fluid, feels like a silky moisturing oil, and has a faint, but pleacent smell. Squalane is also a natural moisturizing agent in the human skin.

The base fluid of the oil is water. Squalane and other oily substances are spread in the water as very small stabilized drops. Such a combination of water and oily substances are called a water-based emulsion. This way of manufactoring gives a product that is not felt greasy, but delivers a smooth and silky layer when applied.

Some creams and 'natural' products on the market contain ingredients that have well-recognized health hazards associated with their use; the best choice is a sexual enhancement cream that does not contain harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, syntetic colors, or added toxic chemical preservatives.

The exact blending of herbal ingredients and the degree of naturalness vary between products from different producers. However, these are imprtant factors, regardless of product:

- Is the product developed by professionals or naturopaths who have experience in helping women attain ideal sexual and reproductive health?

- Are there research or documented findings from scientists and herbalists used as the base for the development of the product?

- How have the developers identified the optimum natural composition for clitoral arousal, erection and sensitivity?

The makers of Vigorelle™ have developed a formula with ingredients combined in the optimal proportions to improve all modes of sexual stimulation. They have created the opportunity for a woman to achieve orgasm, and have implemented revolutionary technology in L-Arginine HCL, responsible for fast, effective absorption of key herbal ingredients into the female lymphatic system.
