Wild Yam: Native to eastern North America, wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) has a longstanding place in traditional herbalism. Its roots contain naturally occurring steroidal saponins, including diosgenin, a compound used as a starting material in the laboratory synthesis of certain steroid hormones.
Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex): The berries of Vitex agnus-castus have a particularly rich history in women's herbal traditions. They contain iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and other plant compounds, including agnuside and casticin. Vitex is especially recognizable for its longstanding association with women's herbal preparations.
Red Clover: Known for its beautiful pink-purple blossoms, red clover contains naturally occurring isoflavones, including formononetin and biochanin A. These compounds belong to a class of plant substances known as phytoestrogens, which have attracted scientific interest because of their structural similarities to certain human hormones.
St. John's Wort: Recognized for its golden-yellow flowers, St. John's wort contains characteristic constituents such as hypericin and hyperforin. Its blossoms have traditionally been infused into oils for body care.
Arnica: This golden-flowered member of the daisy family contains sesquiterpene lactones, including helenalin. Arnica has an established history in traditional European topical preparations, particularly herbal massage oils and balms.
Extra virgin olive oil and castor oil provide a rich, conditioning foundation, while shea butter and beeswax create a smooth, protective texture that helps soften skin and reduce moisture loss. Vitamin E oil contributes antioxidant properties to the oil-based formula, and arrowroot powder helps provide a softer, less greasy finish.
Clary sage essential oil lends a warm, herbaceous, slightly floral aroma, while lavender essential oil contributes its familiar soft, calming fragrance.
