DHEA Balance Cream

DHEA Balance

Studies show DHEA levels decline with age. Our new DHEA Balance cream is formulated with carefully selected ingredients to support your body's needs, without unnecessary additives.

What DHEA Does for Your Body as You Age

DHEA is a hormone from the adrenal glands that is produced more abundantly in youth and less as the body gets older.

Your body uses DHEA to produce estrogen and testosterone, so lower levels may affect how you feel. Studies have looked at DHEA and its connection to energy, mood, libido, and hormonal balance as we age.

Our formula uses micronized DHEA USP to support absorption through the skin rather than the digestive system. That means more of it gets where it needs to go.

We also want to be clear about what is not in our DHEA Balance formula. No parabens, which are synthetic preservatives linked in research to hormone disruption — the last thing you want in a hormone-support product. No gluten, which matters for anyone with sensitivities that show up on the skin. No soy, which carries its own estrogen-mimicking compounds that can interfere with hormonal balance. And no added fragrance, because synthetic scents are one of the most common skin irritants and serve no therapeutic purpose here.

What you get is a clean, carefully made formula with nothing hidden and nothing unnecessary.

Benefits of DHEA Balance Cream for Hormonal Health and Wellbeing

Studies have looked at DHEA supplementation and its connection to a range of areas that matter as we age. Here is what the research has explored:

• Libido and sexual health — Clinical trials have looked at DHEA and its connection to sexual function, with some studies suggesting it may help support libido in both men and women, particularly during and after menopause.
• Energy and mood — Research has explored DHEA's relationship with sense of wellbeing, fatigue, and mood. Studies on older adults have looked at improvements in energy and overall vitality with DHEA supplementation.
• Bone health — A pooled analysis of four clinical trials found that women taking DHEA showed increases in lumbar spine and hip bone density, suggesting it may help support bone health as estrogen levels decline.
• Hormone balance — Because DHEA is a precursor to both estrogen and testosterone, studies suggest it may help the body maintain more balanced hormone levels as natural production slows down with age.
• Skin health — Research has looked at DHEA and improvements in skin hydration, epidermal thickness, and sebum production, particularly in women over 60.

Why We Made This DHEA Balance Cream the Way We Did

We made this cream because we believe you should not have to choose between something that works and something that is clean. Too many hormone products on the market are loaded with synthetic preservatives, unnecessary fillers, and ingredients that have no business being in a formula designed to support your hormonal health.

If you are going to apply something to your skin every day, it should be something you can trust completely.

What Is in Our Natural DHEA Balance Cream

Each ingredient in this formula was chosen for a specific purpose with certified organic botanicals locally and globally sourced (* certified organic). We do not add fillers or extras just to make the label look impressive. Here is what is in this cream and what each one brings:

• Micronized DHEA USP — The main active ingredient in our formula. DHEA is a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands and serves as a building block for estrogen and testosterone. We use micronized DHEA to promote better absorption through the skin. 25 mg per 1/4 tsp.
• Damiana (Turnera diffusa) — A plant traditionally used as a tonic in Latin American herbal traditions. Research has looked at its compounds and how they may support sexual health through nitric oxide pathways. Its flavonoids have also been studied in connection with testosterone levels and libido in both men and women.
• Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) — Milk thistle contains silymarin, a well-known antioxidant studied for its liver-supportive properties. Because the liver plays an important role in hormone metabolism, maintaining healthy liver function may help support the body's natural hormone balance.
• Chamomile Flower Extract (Anthemis nobilis) — Chamomile is included here for apigenin, a plant flavonoid studied for its effect on testosterone and estrogen. Studies have looked at how apigenin affects aromatase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen, and some research suggests this may help support a healthier balance between the two hormones. Other lab studies have looked at apigenin's effect on testosterone-producing cells in response to luteinizing hormone (LH), though the results have been mixed and depend on the amount used. This is still an early area of research, mostly from animal and cell studies.
• Zinc Sulfate — A source of zinc, an essential mineral involved in many normal body functions, including hormone production. Research has looked at the connection between zinc and testosterone. One well known study found that when healthy men had their dietary zinc restricted for 20 weeks, their testosterone levels dropped sharply, and separately, older men with mild zinc deficiency saw their testosterone rise again after several months of zinc supplementation. 
• Aloe Vera Gel — The moisturizing base of our formula, chosen to help create a stable, easily absorbed base for the DHEA. Aloe vera gel is mostly water, so it blends well with the oils and extracts in this formula without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. That lightweight, water-based texture is part of what makes it a good carrier for delivering the DHEA through the skin.

Supporting ingredients: The rest of the formula is made up of moisturizing oils, botanical extracts, antioxidants, vitamins, and conditioning ingredients that create a stable, well-absorbed base for the DHEA Balance. These include Burdock Root Extract, Lecithin, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Olive Oil (Olea europaea), Shea Butter, Vitamin A Palmitate (Retinyl Palmitate), Vegetable Glycerin, Allantoin, Grape Seed Extract, emulsifiers, purified water, and other carefully selected ingredients.

If you're experiencing symptoms that may be related to hormonal changes, consider having your hormones tested before starting a new hormone-support routine. ZRT Saliva Home Hormone Test Kits include DHEA-S along with other important hormones, giving you a clearer picture of your hormonal health. Knowing your levels can help you and your healthcare provider determine the most appropriate approach for supporting healthy hormone balance.
