Wild Yam Diosgenin

10 gm

$9.50

Isoflavones are polyphenolic compounds capable of exerting estrogen-like effects, meaning they will bind (weakly) to the estrogen receptors on the surface of your skin cells. Around menopause, skin responds to the decrease in hormone concentration with an overall metabolic slow-down. Skin becomes drier and thinner, and its efficiency as a barrier between body and environment decreases.

Women who opt out of hormone replacement or never start hormone replacement will benefit from adding this active ingredient to their usual cream or lotion. There are several independent risk factors of wrinkles: age, exposure to sunlight, menopause, skin color, and smoking. The decrease in skin collagen due to estrogen deficiency in post-menopausal women is likely to aggravate the severity of wrinkles. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) decreases the risks of wrinkling.

In the absense of HRT, utilize our Wild Yam Diosgenin in your skin care regimen to achieve a similar effect on aging skin.

Usage

Each tube is enough for 36 fl oz of cream or lotion at approximately 1% concentration (10 g in 1,080 mL cream). Use in your favorite cream or add to our Canvas Base Cream or a Sea Kelp Bioferment base. The powder will dissolve very quickly.

Warning

If you have a history of hormone responsive cancer or are taking tamoxifen please ask your doctor before using this product.

Line

Active ingredient in Lancome™ Absolue, philosophy™ when hope is not enough, and Murad™ Resurgence lines.
