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.

We use a high-strength Napiers fluid extract of Wild Yam, containing diosgenin, to make our cream. Additionally, we include marigold, vitamin E, and a small amount of colloidal silver as a natural preservative.

Similar to the well known Anna's Wild Yam Skin Cream, Napiers Wild Yam is perfect for skin that has become dry, papery, and lacking in moisture during different phases of life. Trusted for more than 160 years.

Napiers Wild Yam Cream has been used in our clinical practice in Edinburgh for many years. Recently, more people have shown interest in Wild Yam Skin Cream due to the popularity of Anna’s Wild Yam Cream in Australia. Although Napiers' cream predates Anna's Wild Yam Cream by many years, both creams were created similarly.

Apply a pea sized amount to clean skin once or twice daily. Alternate application areas between the inner thigh and upper arm for best absorption.

For those following traditional timing:
- During menstrual cycles: Begin on Day 12 and continue until Day 28.
- Outside of cycles or for men: Use consistently, one to three times daily as preferred.
