Is the skinception stretch mark product safe to use? why is fda approval not needed?

Maybe: I would not use this if i was pregnant or going to be pregnant as it is absorbed into the skin. No fda because it is not considered a prescriptive drug and i would be leary of any claims (they can claim anything). The best claims are backed up by double blind studies not paid for by the company. Buyer be ware.
