Weleda are the ultimate trail blazers and pioneers of organic and natural skin care.
Inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner, Weleda has been producing exceptional skin care products using only 100% natural, bio-dynamic and organic ingredients for 80 years.
Weleda see the universe as one integrated whole. This view is not new, it was shared by Rudolf Steiner, their founder, more than 80 years ago. They passionately believe that health is much more than a lack of disease but instead an integrated state of physical, mental and social wellbeing.
This holistic worldview is the basis of everything they do at Weleda, as they create products that respect the environment, local communities and their global customers alike. In the same way, their medicines treat the whole person, enabling them to take responsibility for their own health, while restoring their inner balance and strengthening their life force. Weleda aims to help everyone, old and young. This is not a marketing ploy but a way of life and is deeply rooted in all aspects of the Weleda business.
These beliefs affect every decision they make at Weleda. Right from their very first day in 1921, Weleda has been committed to restoring health and maintaining wellbeing for all people naturally, safely and ethically. With these values in mind they farm most of their natural ingredients biodynamically. 15 acres in Derbyshire are lovingly tended to exacting Demeter standards by Weleda gardeners, contributing to the 135 acres of biodynamic gardens the Weleda Group cultivates worldwide.
Fresh ingredients are assured for plant tinctures. As soon as plants are at the optimal time for use, the gardeners harvest them, so ensuring the best possible quality ingredients. It’s that which makes Weleda’s specialist anthroposophic and homeopathic medicines first choice for many hospitals, clinics, doctors, pharmacists, herbalists, homeopaths, naturopaths and other complementary health practitioners.Weleda also produces 200 over-the-counter natural medicines, available in independent health stores and pharmacies.
For other essential plant ingredients, including some wild plants, ethical sourcing is assured. Weleda has established over 100 global fair trading partnerships, 50% of Weleda’s fair trading partners currently employ biodynamic methods, and the company is working towards a target of 100%. All fair trading farmers must produce ingredients of pharmaceutical quality. |
