Why We Created This Product
Some formulations begin with a trend. Ours began with a desire to keep things simple.
When we created Flowers from my Meadow Wild Yam Cream, we wanted to approach this familiar botanical differently — with curiosity, respect for traditional plant knowledge and an appreciation for uncomplicated formulations.
Wild Yam has a long and fascinating botanical story, but it is also surrounded by plenty of modern confusion. For us, creating this cream was never about making exaggerated promises. It was about taking a well-known botanical and thoughtfully crafting it into something beautiful, practical and easy to incorporate into an everyday ritual.
We chose to pair Wild Yam Root with Chaste Tree Berries and slowly infuse the botanicals into a rich cream made with simple, carefully selected ingredients. Each batch is prepared on a small scale, allowing the process to remain considered and hands-on.
That slower approach reflects much of what Flowers from my Meadow stands for.
We believe botanical products do not need to be complicated to have a meaningful place in our homes. Sometimes their value lies just as much in the ritual — taking a moment, applying something made with care and reconnecting with the plants that inspired it.
Our Wild Yam Cream grew from that philosophy.
It is a botanical formulation made without progesterone or synthetic hormones, created with respect for the plants themselves and for the women who choose to make botanical rituals part of their everyday lives.
Pure, uncomplicated and thoughtfully made — just as we believe botanical body care should be.
The Botanicals Behind the Formula
Our Wild Yam Cream brings together a small number of carefully selected botanicals, plant butters and oils. Each ingredient has a distinct place in the formulation — from the botanical character of Wild Yam Root and Chaste Tree Berries to the rich texture and skin-conditioning qualities of the butters, wax and coconut oils that form the cream's base.
Wild Yam Root
Dioscorea villosa
The botanical that inspired this formulation. Wild Yam Root has a long history of use in traditional herbal practice and naturally contains diosgenin, a plant compound associated with the botanical identity of wild yam. Our formulation uses the root as a whole botanical ingredient and contains no progesterone or synthetic hormones.
Chaste Tree Berries
Vitex agnus-castus
A well-known botanical with a long history of traditional use in women's herbal practice. Chaste Tree Berries were selected to complement Wild Yam Root and form part of the distinctive botanical character of this formulation.
Shea Butter
Butyrospermum parkii
A rich plant butter chosen for its emollient qualities. Shea butter helps give the cream its soft, nourishing texture and leaves the skin feeling smooth and moisturised after application.
Cocoa Butter
Theobroma cacao
Adds body, richness and stability to the formulation while contributing to the cream's smooth texture and comforting skin feel.
Beeswax
Cera alba
Helps give the cream its consistency and structure while forming a light occlusive layer that helps reduce moisture loss from the skin.
Coconut Oils
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride & Cocos nucifera Oil
Selected to create a smooth, spreadable botanical base. The coconut-derived oils help the cream glide easily over the skin while balancing the richer plant butters and wax.
How to Use Wild Yam Cream
Flowers from my Meadow Wild Yam Cream is designed to be used as a simple topical botanical body care ritual. Apply a small amount to soft tissue areas and gently massage into the skin until absorbed, rotating application areas regularly.
Rotate application areas regularly and massage gently until fully absorbed.
How Much?
Apply a small amount, approximately pea-sized, to each application area. A little goes a long way.
Where?
Apply to soft tissue areas such as the inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen or other comfortable application areas. Rotate locations regularly rather than applying to the same area every day.
How Often?
Apply once or twice daily as part of your regular body care routine. Use a small amount and massage gently until absorbed.
Menstruating or Menopausal?
Menstruating:
Our suggested routine is to use the cream for approximately 21 days, followed by a break of around 7 days.
Menopausal:
The cream may be incorporated into a regular daily body care routine, with occasional breaks if preferred.
These are general product-use suggestions rather than medical instructions. Individual routines may differ.
A Gentle Reminder
Botanical body care is personal. Choose a routine that feels simple and sustainable, use the cream as directed and remember that Flowers from my Meadow Wild Yam Cream contains no progesterone or synthetic hormones.
If you use prescription medication or hormone therapy, or have questions about whether a botanical product is appropriate for you, speak with your healthcare professional.
