Viriditas: A Botanical Ritual of Renewal
Viriditas — Meaning & Intent
Viriditas is a word rooted in ancient botanical philosophy.
Derived from the Latin viridis, it means green, flourishing life — the vital force that brings renewal back to living systems.
In historical texts, viriditas described the quiet intelligence of nature itself: the ability of plants, soil, and bodies to regenerate when given the right conditions.
This understanding is at the heart of Viriditas.
We created Viriditas as an offering of daily renewal — not as a solution to be applied, but as a relationship to be nurtured. It reflects our belief that skin, like the rest of the body, responds best to consistency, patience, and gentle support rather than force or correction.
Viriditas exists alongside our Wild Yam Cream, not in place of it. Where Wild Yam Cream is designed to support specific hormonal transitions, Viriditas is about how we care for ourselves every day, regardless of phase or need.
It is an invitation to return to green.
What Viriditas Is (and Is Not)
Viriditas is a full-bodied botanical renewal cream formulated for daily use on the face and body.
Its role is to nourish, soften, and support the skin consistently, helping maintain comfort, balance, and resilience over time.
The texture is rich yet breathable — substantial enough to feel deeply nourishing, yet refined enough to absorb slowly and comfortably without leaving the skin coated or greasy.
Viriditas is:
- Designed for daily, ongoing use
- Rooted in whole-plant botanicals
- Thoughtfully formulated with plant oils, extracts, and glycerites
- Free from added fragrance oils
Viriditas is not designed to be a quick fix, a targeted treatment, or a corrective product. It does not chase symptoms or trends, and it is not intended to replace products created for specific therapeutic purposes.
Instead, it offers steady, reliable nourishment — a cream you can return to day after day, allowing the skin to respond in its own time.
When to Choose Viriditas
Viriditas is chosen less by need, and more by alignment.
You may feel drawn to Viriditas:
- When your skin feels depleted, overstimulated, or in need of gentle support
- When you want one cream you can rely on daily, without having to think too much
- When ritual matters as much as results
- When you are not looking to “fix” your skin, but to care for it consistently
- When you want nourishment that feels grounding rather than overwhelming
Viriditas is for moments of return — when skincare becomes a pause, not a task.
It supports the skin quietly, through repetition and care, rather than urgency.
Many people incorporate Viriditas into their daily rhythm alongside other targeted products, allowing each to serve its own purpose without overlap or confusion.
The Daily Viriditas Ritual
Viriditas is meant to be used slowly and consistently, becoming part of the natural rhythm of your day.
Applied morning or evening, it offers a moment of pause — a chance to reconnect with the body through touch, warmth, and care.
Warm a small amount of cream between your palms before applying.
Massage gently into the face, neck, décolletage, or body, allowing the cream time to absorb rather than rushing it in. The texture is designed to melt gradually, supporting the skin as it softens and settles.
There is no strict method here — only attentiveness.
Viriditas works best when it is not hurried, but welcomed as a small daily ritual of renewal.
The Botanicals — A Living Blend
Viriditas is infused with a carefully considered blend of botanicals, chosen not for trend or intensity, but for their long-standing relationship with renewal, balance, and skin comfort.
Rather than isolating single “hero” ingredients, Viriditas honours the intelligence of whole plants working together:
- Wild yam and red clover bring a sense of nourishment and resilience
- Calendula and rose offer comfort and softness to the skin
- Chaste tree berry contributes balance within the blend
- Frankincense resin, slow-infused from raw resin rather than added as fragrance, lends a grounding and restorative presence
These botanicals are delivered through gentle extracts and glycerites, allowing their qualities to support the skin without force or overwhelm.
Viriditas is not about immediate impact — it is about creating the conditions for the skin to respond naturally over time.
Viriditas and Wild Yam Cream — Understanding the Difference
Viriditas and Wild Yam Cream are designed to work alongside each other, not in competition.
They serve different roles within the Meadow.
Viriditas
- A daily botanical renewal cream
- Focused on nourishment, balance, and ritual
- Suitable for face and body
- Philosophy-led and sensory in nature
Wild Yam Cream
- A targeted topical formulation
- Designed for specific hormone-related transitions
- Often used with intention around cycles or menopause
- Education- and guidance-led
Many customers choose to use both — allowing Wild Yam Cream to support particular needs, while Viriditas becomes the steady, daily foundation of their skincare ritual.
Questions & Answers
Is Viriditas fragranced?
No fragrance oils are added. Any aroma comes naturally from the botanicals themselves and may vary gently between batches.
Can I use Viriditas on my face?
Yes. Viriditas is suitable for use on the face, neck, and body. As with any new product, patch testing is recommended for sensitive skin.
Why does the texture or aroma vary slightly?
Viriditas is made using botanical extracts and glycerites. Natural variation is a sign of whole-plant formulation rather than synthetic standardisation.
Can I use Viriditas alongside Wild Yam Cream?
Yes. Many people use Viriditas daily and Wild Yam Cream as a targeted support product, depending on their needs.
Viriditas is an invitation to slow down.
It is not skincare designed to correct or control, but to support — gently, consistently, and with respect for the body’s own rhythms.
Choosing Viriditas is choosing a way of caring that values patience over urgency, and nourishment over force. It is a reminder that renewal does not need to be dramatic to be meaningful.
If you feel drawn to Viriditas, trust that instinct. It is meant to meet you where you are.
