Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Wild Yam?

Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) is a traditional herb that has been used by herbalists for generations. The root naturally contains diosgenin, a plant compound found in many Wild Yam preparations.

Wild Yam has traditionally been included in botanical formulations for women and men during different stages of healthy ageing and wellbeing. Importantly, Wild Yam does not contain human progesterone or other human hormones.
How does Wild Yam Cream work?

Wild Yam Cream is a topical botanical cream designed to be massaged into the skin as part of a daily wellbeing and self-care routine.

The Wild Yam in the formula naturally contains diosgenin, while the other botanical ingredients are traditionally valued for their complementary properties. The Women's formula combines Wild Yam with Chaste Tree, Castor Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Egyptian Geranium. The Men's formula combines Wild Yam with Saw Palmetto, Ashwagandha, Castor Oil and Frankincense.

Wild Yam should not be described as a natural source of progesterone. Although diosgenin can be used as a starting material to manufacture steroid hormones in a laboratory, the human body does not convert diosgenin into progesterone.
How do I use Wild Yam Cream for Women?

For women experiencing perimenopause, menopause or hormonal changes, massage approximately 1 teaspoon of Wild Yam Cream into the inner arms, thighs, chest or neck each morning.

For menstruating women and those in perimenopause, Day 1 is counted as the first day of a true menstrual bleed, not spotting. Apply 1 teaspoon each morning from Day 14 through Day 28, then discontinue until Day 14 of the next cycle.

Rotate application areas regularly and massage the cream into clean, dry skin until absorbed.
How do I use Wild Yam Cream for Men?

Suitable application areas include the face, neck and chest, abdomen, inner arms, shoulders and thighs. Rotate the application area regularly and massage until absorbed.

Wash your hands after application. The cream is for external use only.

Why do you use an amber glass jar?

We use a premium amber glass jar to help protect the delicate botanical ingredients in our Wild Yam Cream from light exposure, helping maintain the quality and freshness of the formula over time.

We also chose glass as a thoughtful alternative to plastic packaging for those who prefer to minimise plastic in their daily wellness and skincare routine. The amber glass jar is both practical and protective, while complementing the premium nature of our Australian-made formula.
