WILD YAM

CLARY SAGE

ST JOHN'S WORT

HYALURONIC ACID

Close-up of Dioscorea villosa (wild yam) root – a phytoestrogen-rich botanical used to support hormonal balance and skin elasticity in natural skincare.

Key Ingredient

Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) Concentrate Extract

Among diosgenin containing plants, Dioscorea villosa holds one of the highest known concentrations of the compound, once extracted at scale as the starting material for early hormone science. Diosgenin also carries recognised anti-inflammatory behaviour that contributes to easing menstrual discomfort specifically, reaching the body intact through transdermal delivery rather than being broken down through digestion first

Key Ingredient

Salvia Sclarea (Clary Sage) Essential Oil

One of the richest natural sources of sclareol, a compound distinct from the linalool dominant profile of most calming essential oils, clary sage carries a chemistry traditionally associated specifically with menstrual and menopausal ease rather than relaxation in general. Traditionally valued for its antispasmodic behaviour during menstrual cramping, it was chosen here for that specificity rather than for scent alone.

St John’s Wort flowers (Hypericum perforatum) used for its natural healing properties for calming sensitive skin and supporting menopausal symtoms and wellbeing.

Key Ingredient

Hypericum Perforatum (St John's Wort) Extract
Naturally rich in hypericin and flavonoid compounds, St John's Wort is among the most extensively documented herbal extracts, long recognised for its calming influence on the nervous system as much as its topical behaviour. It carries a long topical tradition of easing inflamed and irritated skin, the same calming behaviour drawn on here during hormonal change.

Key Ingredient

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid is among the most efficient humectants available for formulation and the skin's own natural reserves of it decline as oestrogen levels shift. Replacing what hormonal change gradually reduces, it draws and retains moisture within the skin's surface layers, reinforcing barrier comfort particularly through perimenopause and menopause.

The Compound the Body Already Knows

A plant sterol structurally close enough to be recognised

Long before any laboratory took an interest in Dioscorea villosa, wild yam root was already being turned to by women for menstrual and hormonal ease, prepared and applied the way generations before had taught. What made the root effective was not yet understood, only that it worked. It would take chemists studying its structure to discover why. Diosgenin, the plant sterol wild yam carries naturally, sits close enough in molecular structure to the body's own steroid hormones that it behaves as a phytoestrogen once it reaches the body, recognised rather than rejected.

That same structural closeness is why, in the 1940s, chemists were able to pull diosgenin from wild yam root and rebuild it in a laboratory into the first synthesised progesterone, a discovery that reshaped hormone medicine for decades. The root itself never changed. It simply carried a compound significant enough that science eventually noticed.

Formulated to Let the Compound Arrive Whole

Cycle aligned dosing built for recognition

Metamorphosis Wild Yam Concentrate Dermal Cream is formulated to let that recognition do the work, delivering diosgenin transdermally rather than through digestion, reaching the body whole rather than broken down or rebuilt. The cream works alongside phytoestrogens to support hormonal balance, easing disturbances that range from mild menstrual discomfort to the changes of menopause, its dosage adjusted to cycle day rather than fixed at a single amount.

Clary sage and St John's Wort extend the same intention in a different register, supporting circulation and nervous system calm as hormonal fluctuation moves through its stages. Hyaluronic acid closes the formulation, restoring the moisture and barrier comfort that hormonal change so often unsettles first. One area, twice daily, guided by your own hand and aligned to your own cycle, without a single synthetic hormone standing in the way.

What does the Metamorphosis Skincare Wild Yam Concentrate Dermal Cream do?

This concentrated dermal cream delivers diosgenin, a plant derived sterol found naturally in wild yam, directly through the skin. Working alongside phytoestrogens, it supports hormonal balance and helps ease disturbances ranging from mild menstrual discomfort to menopausal symptoms. Calendula, chamomile and St John's Wort contribute calming, anti-inflammatory behaviour that supports circulation and nervous system ease, extended further by clary sage, lavender and ylang ylang essential oils. Hyaluronic acid restores hydration throughout, supporting skin comfort as hormonal change unfolds.

How is this different to an oral supplement or a hormone patch?

Oral supplements pass through digestion before reaching circulation, and a hormone patch delivers synthetic hormones systemically regardless of cycle day, in both cases offering little control over the timing or intensity of dose. This cream is applied directly to the skin, drawing diosgenin and phytoestrogens from wild yam rather than a synthesised hormone, reaching the body without a pill or a patch. Its dosage protocol instead adjusts with cycle day, offering lighter support early in the cycle and more as discomfort typically intensifies.

How do I apply the Wild Yam Concentrate Dermal Cream?

Massage into one selected area per application, such as the chest, neck, abdomen, arms or thighs, morning and evening. For menstrual discomfort, use a quarter teaspoon twice daily from day twelve to twenty of the cycle, increasing to half a teaspoon from day twenty one to twenty eight. For menopause, use a quarter teaspoon twice daily from day seven, continuing or repeating as needed. Day one marks the start of the period.

Who is the Wild Yam Concentrate Dermal Cream suitable for?

This wild yam cream is formulated for women across the full span of hormonal change, from menstrual discomfort through perimenopause and menopause, and for those with dry or hormonally reactive skin more broadly. Its cycle aligned dosage means the same cream adjusts to whichever stage of hormonal change is relevant.

How long does one jar last and is it good value?

With consistent, cycle aligned use, a 50ml jar typically lasts around 2 to 3 months or longer, depending on your personal application style. As a concentrated formulation combining transdermal hormonal support with barrier repair and calming botanicals, it replaces what would otherwise require several separate products, making it a considered investment for ongoing hormonal support.
