Higher Nature Mexican Wild Yam Cream 90ml

Higher Nature’s Mexican Wild Yam Cream is a richly nourishing body cream made for topical “menopause support”. The brand positions it as ideal for peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women, helping to support comfort during the menopause transition while also delivering skin hydration. It sinks in to leave skin feeling soft, moisturised and well conditioned, rather than sitting on top.

The formula contains 20% wild yam extract, alongside four traditionally used herbs described as phytoestrogens: agnus castus, black cohosh and dong quai (with Mexican wild yam as part of the four). It also blends skin-loving emollients and comfort ingredients, including aloe vera, vitamin E and sweet almond oil, and is subtly fragranced with lavender oil.

Key ingredients include Dioscorea villosa (Wild Yam) root extract, aloe vera leaf juice powder, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), sweet almond (Prunus amygdalas dulcis) oil and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) flower oil. Directions (per the brand) suggest massaging into the inner arms or thighs morning and evening, with a note to avoid contact with eyes.
