Compounded creams with individualized ingredients are typically custom made by compounding pharmacies.

They have limited shelf lives, should be stored carefully, and have a special base that is designed to carry the ingredients into the body. (most topical creams do not do this, and remain only on the skin.)

They are expensive and some insurances won't cover them. But some do.
