Made with high-quality plant oils, natural extracts and essential oils, our natural skincare products are good for your skin, and good for the environment.

Our natural skincare philosophy

We take a holistic approach to personal care. In our understanding, looking after your body serves not only beauty but also health. In order to do so we develop products designed to support a healthy balance between body, mind and spirit. Drawing on the wisdom and virtuous properties of nature, our philosophy is to combine the effects of natural active ingredients to strengthen the skin’s own powers of self-healing. Our lead plants give special character to each of our unique skincare collections. Lead plants are emblematic of our needs in different life phases and contribute to the effectiveness of our products. Pomegranate, for example, has regenerating and antioxidant properties. We believe that the life processes of nature and of humans are interconnected. Understanding this relationship allows us to harness the plant's inherent benefits.

Our active ingredients come from nature

Our natural skincare contain precious ingredients, such as natural plant oils. The products work together with natural essential oils, plant extracts and further high quality ingredients to support the overall effectiveness of our holistic formulations. Does your skin need regenerative and antioxidant support, or does it mainly need moisture? We combine different oils and extracts in order to respond to the specific needs of the skin. The oils we use in our high-quality skincare products are obtained from apricot kernels, the fruits of the argan tree, pomegranate seeds, wheat kernels or sea buckthorn. We obtain effective extracts from a variety of plants, such as white mallow. Since 1926, Weleda Skin Food has been caring for people’s skin thanks to its effective formulation with extracts of organic pansy, chamomile and calendula blossoms.

How is a calendula tincture made?

We produce a variety of tinctures for use in different products. A calendula tincture, for example, is an extract of substances from either the whole calendula plant or certain parts of the plant depending on the product in which it is to be used. Our extraction methods preserve as much as possible of the plant’s inherent qualities and characteristics. The extracting agents we use include alcohol, water, saline solution and oil. To create a tincture, freshly crushed calendula plants are mixed with an extracting agent. Each step of the process is meticulously carried out in a controlled environment. This ensures that the calendula releases its substances and properties into the tincture in the best quality possible.

Why plant oils are good for your skin

Plants absorb the light and heat of the sun and convert it into matter such as sugars. Over the course of several stages, these are converted into substances which form lipids and are stored in the seeds. The oil extracted from plant seeds and kernels is rich in saturated and unsaturated fatty acids as well as nourishing vitamins. Pure plant oils are similar in composition to the lipids of the human skin barrier, so they can be absorbed by the skin and metabolised by the body. They penetrate easily into the skin’s upper layers and support its natural functions, supplementing its lipid content and counteracting moisture loss. In contrast to plant-based oils, mineral oils have a sealing effect (meaning they sit on the skin’s surface) and cannot be metabolised by the body.

We believe in transparency and full disclosure of our ingredients

All of our natural skincare products include a list of their ingredients according to terminology specified by INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients), which may at first seem puzzling. This is because in the European Union, USA and Japan skincare ingredients must be indicated according to internationally standard names. We want to be clear and transparent. That’s why, on our homepage – and, if space permits, also on our packaging – we provide a list of ingredients in the respective country language together with the international INCI declaration. This enables you to easily identify the ingredients used in our skincare.

What our products do not contain

Some skincare products leech small microplastic beads and liquid plastics, such as silicones, into rivers and oceans, which pollutes the environment. We do not use these substances. Our Birch Pearl Body Scrub, for example, uses environmentally friendly wax beads made from carnauba and beeswax. We believe that quality and sustainability go hand in hand.

We believe that a product is more than the sum of its parts.

Our natural skincare products are certified

You can see how natural our products are on their packaging: Weleda products bear the NATRUE seal. This guarantees that strict standards are maintained when it comes to their ingredients. NATRUE is an international non-profit organisation focusing on natural and organic skincare. For NATRUE certification, products may contain only three categories of raw materials: natural raw materials, near-natural raw materials (modified natural materials) and nature-identical raw materials. There are two different sets of certification standards which distinguish between natural skincare and organic skincare. All NATRUE-certified products consistently refrain from using synthetic fragrances, silicones, microplastics, nanoplastics, and petroleum-based raw materials such as paraffins.

We source our raw materials sustainably and responsibly

We attach great importance to the procurement of our raw materials. We are aware that how we harvest, grow and process natural resources has a profound impact on our planet. This is why we have committed to upholding the standards of the non-profit organisation UEBT. This means improving how we source our natural ingredients and treating people and biodiversity with respect.
