It'd be nifty if we could just mix PM with PC...
Personally I doubt it would be very effective - you really need to get the active ingredient out of the raw dried powder first, and then add that to the cream, otherwise most of what you are putting on your skin will be starch and all the other components of a plant root! Effectively all you are going to be doing is spread a dry powder across the skin and use a cream to glue it there until it all wipes off on to your clothing. Plus of course you also have absolutely no idea how much of the active ingredients, if any, will really be absorbed.
The final clincher for me is that there is scientific evidence that PM works better if ingested since the liver converts miroestrol to the more potent deoxy-miroestrol, so why waste it putting it on your skin?
