I doubt very highly that PM powder can be useful as a topical application. I believe most would be using a liquid extract in their formulations or a system whereby a certain phase of the formulation would be an oil that has PM powder in it that has been heated or an alcohol extraction that has sat for 15+ days.
Think about it.. how would you ever get a powder let alone that active component that is probably is no more than 40% if you use an ultra pure extract powder or raw that is less than 5% active and if we are talking about misesterol.. less than 0.05% active.. you`d need to ensure that 100% of the powder makes it to the subq fat layer.. almost impossible.. now an oil or alcohol extract as part of penetrating cream-serum formula.. possible.
Just because people put PM on the label.. it isn`t an indication of how the PM has been handled and processed to make it `bioavailable`within their system.
Just because people market PM creams... does not necessarily mean their work.
