Wild Yam Cellular Extract

Wild yam Dioscorea villosa L. is a vine that’s native to North America. It’s also known by several other names, including colic root, American yam, fourleaf yam, and devil’s bones.

Wild yam is also known for a compound known as diosgenin, a specific steroidal saponin. Diosgenin is used as an anti-inflammatory. From the public domain Diosgenin is also believed to be effective as a depigmenting agent in the skin, helping to protect against some serious skin health issues that can arise from sun damage. The superstar saponin, diosgenin is used in cosmetics for its ability to fight the loss of collagen in skin. Collagen plumps the skin, helping it to maintain its youthful appearance and fresh look, while holding everything together.

It appears that irritated and sensitive skin may reap benefits from the collagen-boosting effects of diosgenin. It’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties come into play here as well, soothing skin while giving it the healthy nutrients it needs.^[B]
