Wool. Highest % you can get in most cases. (note: wool on some gear pieces is very expensive, others not)
100% is easy to do for base layer but is expensive (shirt and pants baselayer). I find socks that are best are smartwool, Darntough. Not 100% wool but high enough to be effective and very comfortable. Some suggest sock liners too, I guess that depends on the quality of your boots. Old wool socks would be nice if you can find them also.
I like wearing my muck boots out in the rocky mountains to hunt and even in below zero a pair of heavy mountaineering socks and my mucks I have always been toasty warm.
Head and hands are also easy to wrap in 100% wool. Military surplus gloves and beanie can be had for 5 bucks each. For -30, i'd have a back up of each and probably an outer windproof layer for each as well (mittens to go over gloves at least). These items get compromised the most easily, but easy to carry extra.
And you will want a windproof/water resistant outer jack as well. If you layer properly it can be a simple one serving basically those two attributes.
Layers is key and like someone else said, personal comfort as well. Some people can't stand wool. I love it. I would not make my first winter hike in -30. If it turns out you are miserable, it will be amplified many times.
Also when it's that cold, half my pack is filled with extra gloves, hats, beanies, shirt layers, socks, etc. More in the beginning, less with experience. I love the cold, I hope you enjoy it!
As a start, these are the gloves and beanie I wear all the way down to the negatives. Shop around they can be had cheaper. I have windproof layers to put over them if needed but they work well as is, and for the price...
