What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural biological transition that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It occurs when the ovaries stop releasing eggs and the production of key hormones — estrogen and progesterone — significantly declines. As a result, menstrual cycles stop, and fertility gradually decreases.

The journey into menopause begins with a stage called perimenopause, which can start as early as a woman’s late 30s or early 40s. This transitional phase can last several years and is often marked by fluctuating hormone levels, leading to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and changes in skin health.

Understanding this natural shift is key to finding the right menopause support. At Modani Naturals, we’re here to help women embrace this phase with natural, hormone-free wellbeing and skincare solutions formulated to nurture the skin, body, and mind.

Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream – Natural Menopause Support

Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream is a plant-rich, hormone-free botanical cream created for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. Made with a carefully selected blend of whole herbs, botanical extracts, nourishing oils and butters, it offers a gentle way to support your skin and wellbeing through life's natural transitions.

At the heart of our formulation is whole Wild Yam Root, traditionally used in women's wellness for generations.

Our Wild Yam Cream is completely hormone-free and is designed to provide gentle, plant-rich support as part of your everyday self-care routine.

Our rich botanical infusion combines Wild Yam Root with other carefully selected herbs traditionally associated with women's wellness. Together with nourishing plant oils and butters, the formulation helps care for dry, mature skin while creating a soothing and nurturing daily ritual during perimenopause and menopause.

Made in small batches with plant-rich, hormone-free and petrochemical-free ingredients, Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream is a simple, non-invasive addition to your personal wellbeing routine — thoughtfully created for women who prefer natural, transparent and uncomplicated skincare.

Supporting Your Wellbeing During Menopause

Menopause is a natural stage of life, and looking after your overall wellbeing can make a meaningful difference to how you feel during the transition.

While Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream provides gentle, hormone-free botanical skincare, we believe it works best as part of a broader self-care routine that nourishes your body, mind and skin.

Simple lifestyle practices such as eating a varied, balanced diet, staying physically active, prioritising restorative sleep and making time for relaxation can all contribute to overall health and wellbeing during perimenopause and menopause.

A holistic approach may help support:

1. Everyday energy & vitality
Nourishing food, regular movement and adequate rest can help support your overall energy and wellbeing.

2. Mental wellbeing
Sleep, relaxation, movement and connection can all play an important role in caring for your emotional and mental wellbeing during life's transitions.

3. Healthy, hydrated skin
Hormonal changes during menopause can affect the skin, making nourishing skincare and regular moisturising an important part of your daily routine.

4. Your personal menopause self-care routine
Everyone experiences menopause differently. Creating a simple routine that includes nourishing skincare, healthy lifestyle habits and practices that make you feel good can help you care for yourself through this stage of life.

Nourish your body. Care for your skin. Support your wellbeing.

Our Wild Yam Cream is designed to complement your everyday self-care ritual — offering rich botanical nourishment for your skin while giving you a quiet moment to pause, reconnect and care for yourself.

Modani Naturals believes in natural skincare with honest, transparent information. Wild Yam Cream is hormone-free and is not a hormone replacement or a treatment for menopause symptoms. If you are experiencing persistent or concerning symptoms, speak with your healthcare professional about the options available to you.

Does wild yam cream really work?

Wild Yam Cream has a long history of traditional use in women's wellness, and many women choose botanical creams as part of their personal self-care routine during perimenopause and menopause.

However, it's important to be transparent about what we know. Wild Yam is not a source of estrogen or progesterone, and there is currently limited scientific evidence that topical wild yam cream can directly relieve or treat menopausal symptoms. Wild Yam Root contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including diosgenin, but these compounds do not convert into progesterone or estrogen in the human body.

So what makes Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream special?

Our formulation combines a rich, whole-herb Wild Yam Root infusion with carefully selected botanical ingredients, nourishing plant oils and butters. It is completely hormone-free and designed to nourish and care for your skin while providing a gentle, comforting addition to your everyday menopause self-care ritual.

Every woman's experience of perimenopause and menopause is different. We believe you deserve natural skincare with honest information and no exaggerated promises — so you can make an informed choice about what feels right for you.

Nourish your skin. Support your wellbeing. Make your self-care ritual your own.

Ingredients

What’s in the Wild Yam Cream?

What's Inside Our Wild Yam Cream?

Our Wild Yam Cream is made with a rich botanical infusion of whole Wild Yam Root and a carefully selected blend of traditional herbs, combined with nourishing plant oils and butters.

Rather than relying on isolated synthetic hormones, our formulation is completely hormone-free and focuses on botanical ingredients chosen for their traditional use, skin-nourishing properties and place in a woman's everyday self-care ritual.

Our Botanical Infusion

Our formulation contains up to 35% botanical ingredients, with whole Wild Yam Root as the primary botanical herb.

Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa)
Wild Yam has a long history of traditional use in women's wellness. It contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including diosgenin. Importantly, wild yam is not a source of estrogen or progesterone and does not convert into these hormones in the human body.

Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus)
Traditionally used in herbal wellness, particularly in women's health and menstrual-cycle support.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)
Naturally contains isoflavones and has a long history of traditional use in women's wellness.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
A traditional Ayurvedic botanical valued for its role in general wellbeing and relaxation.

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)
A traditional Ayurvedic herb historically used in women's wellness and nourishing herbal practices.

Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa)
A traditional botanical that has been widely used in women's wellness, particularly around the menopause transition.

Chamomile
Traditionally valued for its soothing and calming qualities and commonly used in gentle skincare.

Nourishing Plant Oils & Butters

Our botanical infusion is combined with carefully selected plant oils and butters to create a rich, creamy balm that feels nourishing without being overly greasy.

These ingredients are chosen to complement the botanical infusion while helping to soften, moisturise and care for the skin.

Why We Love Our Water-Free Formula

Our Wild Yam Cream is water-free (anhydrous), which means it doesn't require the conventional water-based preservation system used in emulsified creams.

The result is a rich, concentrated botanical balm with a simple ingredient philosophy.

Because it is water-free and contains natural plant oils, butters and botanicals, we recommend storing your tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Always use clean, dry hands when applying the product and keep the lid securely closed between uses.

Simple. Botanical. Transparent.

We believe you should know exactly what you're putting on your skin. That's why we choose to be transparent about our ingredients and equally transparent about what Wild Yam Cream can, and cannot claim to do.

Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream is hormone-free and is not a hormone replacement or a treatment for menopause symptoms. It is a botanical skincare product created to nourish your skin and become a comforting part of your personal self-care routine through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

How Does Wild Yam Cream Work?

How Does Wild Yam Cream Work?

Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream is a rich, botanical, hormone-free cream designed to become part of your everyday self-care routine during perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

For application, we recommend areas such as the inner upper arms, wrists, neck or chest, where the cream can be comfortably massaged into the skin. There is no need to apply a large amount — a small amount worked gently into the skin is all that's required.

Our key botanical, Wild Yam Root (Dioscorea villosa), has a long history of traditional use in women's wellness. It contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including diosgenin. While diosgenin is sometimes described online as a phytoestrogen or hormone precursor, it is important to clarify that wild yam is not a source of estrogen or progesterone and does not convert into these hormones in the human body.

There is currently limited scientific evidence that topical wild yam cream can directly treat or relieve menopausal or hormonal symptoms. We therefore don't make claims that our cream balances hormones or treats hot flushes, mood changes or other medical symptoms.

Instead, Modani Naturals Wild Yam Cream offers a gentle, plant-rich and hormone-free way to nourish and care for your wellbeing & skin, while becoming a comforting part of your personal self-care ritual through the natural transitions of perimenopause and menopause.

Please Note

Although our formulation is made with natural botanical ingredients, some people may be sensitive to herbs, essential oils or other ingredients. We recommend performing a patch test before first use and discontinuing use if irritation occurs.

A Quick Note

Wild Yam Cream is designed for gentle, natural support during menopause, PMS, or other hormonal changes. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have hormone-related health conditions, it's a good idea to check with your healthcare provider first.

How to use

For menopause support

How to Use Wild Yam Cream

Wild Yam Cream can be incorporated into your daily self-care routine at any time. For a consistent routine, we recommend applying it 2–3 times daily.

How much should I use?

Apply up to ½ teaspoon in total per application, dividing the amount between your preferred areas of application.

For targeted application, use approximately ¼ teaspoon per area, such as each inner upper arm, your wrists, or the creases on either side of your neck. As a simple guide, ¼ teaspoon is approximately the size of the back of your pinky fingernail.

Gently massage the cream into clean, dry skin and allow it a moment to absorb before dressing. Enjoy the rich botanical texture and naturally calming fragrance as part of your daily self-care ritual.

When should I apply it?

You can apply Wild Yam Cream in the morning, afternoon and/or early evening, depending on what works best for your personal routine.

If you'd like a little extra nourishment during the day, simply apply a small amount to your wrists or another preferred area.

For easy application while you're out and about, our new Wild Yam Balm Stick, or our small trial size 40g Wild Yam Cream Convenient travel size, perfect for keeping in your handbag for daytime top-ups.

For PERI/PMS

Using Wild Yam Cream During Perimenopause

If you're new to Wild Yam Cream and still having regular periods, you may find it easiest to build it into your routine according to your menstrual cycle.

Begin using the cream when your period finishes. Apply it twice daily — once in the morning and again in the afternoon or early evening to your preferred areas of application, following the directions above.

Continue using it throughout the cycle, then take a break when your next period begins. Once your period has finished, begin your routine again.

This simple cycle-based approach can make it easier to incorporate Wild Yam Cream into your regular self-care routine while your body moves through the changes of perimenopause.

If you'd like a little extra comfort during the day, you can also apply a small amount to your wrists as part of your self-care ritual, particularly when you feel the need for a soothing, calming moment.

Post menopause

Using Wild Yam Cream After Menopause

After menopause, you can continue using Wild Yam Cream as part of your regular daily self-care routine.

Apply the cream twice daily, preferably in the morning and afternoon, to your chosen areas of application. If desired, you can apply a small amount to your wrists in the early evening as an extra moment of botanical nourishment and self-care.

Consistent use allows Wild Yam Cream to become a simple, comforting part of your everyday routine, helping you continue to nourish and care for your skin while supporting your overall sense of wellbeing.

Every woman's experience after menopause is different. Our Wild Yam Cream is hormone-free and is designed as botanical skincare and self-care, rather than a hormone treatment.

What to Expect

Every woman's experience of perimenopause and menopause is different, and so is her experience with botanical self-care. Some women choose Wild Yam Cream as part of a regular routine and describe noticing a greater sense of comfort, calm and overall wellbeing as they make time to care for themselves.

With regular use, you may notice:

  • Nourished, softer-feeling skin — particularly helpful when skin feels drier or more delicate during menopause.
  • A soothing moment of self-care — massaging the cream into the skin can become a calming daily ritual and a welcome opportunity to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
  • A greater sense of comfort and wellbeing — some women enjoy incorporating botanical products into their routine as they navigate the changes of perimenopause and menopause.
  • More confidence in your self-care routine — having a simple, consistent ritual can help you feel more supported and cared for during a time of change.

Some women may also choose to use Wild Yam Cream alongside other healthy lifestyle practices, such as nourishing nutrition, regular movement, restorative sleep and stress-management practices.

Everyone is different, and individual experiences will vary. We don't promise that Wild Yam Cream will treat or relieve specific menopause symptoms, and there is limited scientific evidence for topical wild yam cream in this area. Our focus is on creating a rich, hormone-free botanical cream that nourishes your skin and supports a comforting, consistent self-care ritual.

Give your routine time to become part of your day. Small moments of nourishment and self-care can make a meaningful difference to how supported you feel through life's natural transitions.
