For Hormonal Balance and Skin Support
Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) has been traditionally valued for its role in supporting natural balance during different life stages. Our skin cream has been used by those seeking botanical alternatives, especially during transitions like menopause or periods of hormonal fluctuation. Its use is not gender-specific – many men also choose wild yam-based creams for their nourishing feel and supportive routines.
2
A High Strength Wild Yam Extract
Central to this formula is a high-quality wild yam root extract, naturally rich in diosgenin — the principal active compound in Dioscorea villosa. Napiers uses Wild Yam that is extract in a 1:1 ratio, making it highly concentrated. Each 60ml jar of Napiers Wild Yam Cream contains 1.8g of Wild Yam extract. Traditionally valued by herbalists for generations, diosgenin is found exclusively in plant sources and is the reason wild yam has become such a trusted botanical in women's skincare. Ideal for those seeking a trusted herbal cream to support their daily skincare ritual through every life phase.

Kind to Skin
Formulated with calendula flower extract and aloe vera to soothe and hydrate, alongside vitamin E for its natural antioxidant properties and vegetable glycerine for gentle, lasting moisture. The base uses olive-derived emollients and lightweight sunflower seed oil — kind to sensitive skin, free from parabens and synthetic fragrance. Use on as a facial moisturiser or apply a pea sized amount to inner arm or upper thigh area.

From our Edinburgh beginnings in 1860, Napiers' motto has been: tried, tested, trusted. Napiers Wild Yam Cream carries that same spirit.

We use a quality wild yam root extract, naturally rich in diosgenin, chosen for its botanical purity and long history of use in Western herbalism. What you'll notice: the confidence that you're using a cream grounded in 165 years of herbalist experience rather than a formula that followed a trend.
