But doesn't the cream contain other ingredients as well??

No.

Cortisol is hydrocortisone, readily available as a topical cream in

any drugstore over the counter. To quote Andy:

" ...if you wish to take 5mg 2-4 times a day...1/2 ml of 1% cream or

1/4 ml of 2% cream can be eaten (putting it on something or in

capsules to avoid excessive exposure to the mouth). "
