Weleda: Natural skincare for generations

People and nature are at the heart of the Weleda brand, which stands for high-quality natural cosmetics like no other. Weleda was founded in 1921 and is active all over the world today. Weleda produces not only cosmetics but also medicines. Medicines were originally the core business of the brand. But this has long since changed and medicines now account for 21.5 percent of sales, whilst the sales of cosmetics is 78.5 percent.

Weleda has extensive manufacturing facilities in Germany, France and Switzerland. Over 2,500 people work for the brand. Weleda was co-founded by Rudolf Steiner, who also founded anthroposophy. Anthroposophy stands for a world view based on the wisdom of the human being, who consists of spirit, body and soul within the parameters of the anthroposophical conception of the world.

What products are available from Weleda?

Many Weleda products fall into the cosmetics category and many others are listed under medicines. Weleda even manufactures foodstuffs. Popular Weleda products in the natural cosmetics range include:

• face care products by Weleda for the face, eyes, lips and body, for both women and men
• Body care products by Weleda for showering and bathing, massage and moisturising for both women and men
• Haircare products by Weleda that make the hair shine beautifully with natural ingredients.
• Pregnancy and baby care products by Weleda such as pregnancy skincare oils, breastfeeding teas, nappy creams as well as body care products for babies and children

The foodstuffs include teas, juices, syrups and food supplements. The medicines include products for allergies and colds, digestion, for the heart and circulation, for the skin, for the eyes and for the nervous system. All the preparations are completely natural and based on the interplay of human beings and nature. They are intended to activate the body’s own resources and so stimulate self-regulation.

What characterises Weleda cosmetic products?

The skincare products by Weleda are based on the power of nature and are certified as natural cosmetics. This means that they contain natural ingredients and use plants, extracts, seeds and oils, such as:

• arnica
• chamomile
• sea buckthorn
• tea tree
• marigold
• evening primrose
• and much more besides.

Many Weleda products have a delicate and natural smell – they are entirely without preservatives, or synthetic fragrances and colours. In addition, many of the ingredients are cultivated organically. Weleda natural cosmetics can be a companion for life – for babies, children, pregnant women, men or seniors.

What does the Weleda brand stand for?

Anthroposophical philosophy is behind the Weleda brand. This is reflected both in the medicines and in Weleda natural cosmetics.

Six of the guiding principles that characterise Weleda’s MO are a holistic approach, social responsibility, trust, candour, enthusiasm and economic viability. With the company’s philosophy, Weleda wants to contribute to a better world and to protect and enrich nature and people. Job creation, collaborations with local farmers, the biodynamic cultivation of plants to promote the health of the soil as well as the approach to people and nature from a holistic perspective characterise the core of the brand and ensure that Weleda is a brand that people trust.
