Every formulation begins with a question: what does the body truly need? For this product, the answer emerged from years of observing the wisdom of traditional botanical practice and the quiet intelligence of plants grown in harmony with the land.
We created this to bridge the gap between heritage knowledge and modern wellness—a formulation that honors the slow, deliberate craft of apothecary tradition while meeting the needs of contemporary life. Each ingredient was chosen not for trend, but for purpose, drawn from our own gardens and wild meadows where plants are allowed to mature at their own pace.
This is not a product born from marketing or convenience. It is the result of patience, observation, and a deep respect for the botanical world. We made it because we believe wellness should feel grounded, intentional, and connected to the earth.
Every ingredient in this formulation has been thoughtfully selected for its traditional use and contribution to the quality, texture, and character of the final cream.
Dioscorea villosa
The botanical that inspired this formulation. Traditionally valued in herbal practice for supporting women through the changing seasons of life, Wild Yam Root has long been appreciated as one of nature's most recognised botanical allies for women's wellness.
Vitex agnus-castus
Traditionally used to support women's hormonal wellbeing, Chaste Tree Berries beautifully complement Wild Yam Root, creating a thoughtfully balanced botanical partnership inspired by generations of herbal wisdom.
Butyrospermum parkii
Chosen for its rich nourishing properties, shea butter helps create a luxurious cream that leaves the skin feeling soft, comfortable and deeply moisturised.
Theobroma cacao
Adds richness, stability and a beautifully smooth texture while helping to nourish and protect the skin as part of the daily application ritual.
Cera alba
Naturally helps give the cream its luxurious consistency while supporting a protective barrier that helps keep the skin feeling soft and cared for.
MCT Coconut Oil & Unrefined Coconut Oil
Selected to create a beautifully absorbent botanical base that allows the formulation to glide effortlessly onto the skin while complementing the rich plant butters.
Wild Yam Cream is intended to become part of a simple, consistent daily botanical wellness ritual.
Rotate application areas regularly and massage gently until fully absorbed.
Apply a small amount about the size of a pea to each application area. A little goes a long way.
Rotate between the recommended soft tissue areas rather than using the same location every day.
Apply once or twice daily. Consistency is more important than applying large amounts.
Use for 21 days, then pause for approximately 7 days during your menstrual cycle.
May be used continuously, with occasional breaks if desired.
Every woman's wellness journey is unique. Botanical wellness is built through small, consistent daily rituals rather than overnight change. Listen to your body, allow time for adjustment and let your daily routine become a meaningful act of self-care.
