The Apothecary in Inglewood Wild Yam Cream, 60 g

A body cream built around wild yam root, a herb with a long history among herbalists, at a generous 13% extract. Chaste tree berry and black cohosh extracts are blended in, along with MSM, grape seed and sweet almond oils, organic aloe vera gel, panthenol and vitamin E. The texture is a light cream that absorbs quickly without a greasy finish.
