Green skincare brand, Weleda, introduced this iconic and totally natural beauty cream in 1926 and it is still going strong today. 

Skin Food was created based on the brand’s holistic approach to health and beauty. Indeed, Weleda believes that skin care should actively cultivate beauty by stimulating and inspiring your body, mind and spirit. As you would expect, the ingredients are NATRUE certified all natural and include extracts of organic chamomile, calendula and wild pansy to soothe rough skin, plus rosemary to revitalise dull complexions.

The deep-penetrating cream contains natural plant oils and waxes known for their richness and gentleness and the refreshing fragrance is from pure essential oils including sweet orange and lavender so artificial preservatives or parabens are not needed. All this makes Skin Food an enriching cream that soothe and comfort dry and stressed skin. It protects against wind and weather and is great for dry or rough hands that need a treat, or thirsty skin anywhere on the body.

For years, Skin Food was an industry beauty secret, but in the past decade it has become a firm favourite with many high-profile celebrities. The enthusiastic fan club includes signers, television presenters and many actresses and actors (Indeed, Skin Food is not just for girls but great for men too). Top models, fashionistas and makeup artists are also in on this beauty secret and use it as a staple in their kits. “Weleda Skin Food is my go-to product for that fresh summer glow. I love to add a touch to the high points of the face i.e., cheekbones/brow bones for that dewy glossy finish. For my clients it’s a must-have beauty essential” says Emma Osborne – celebrity makeup artist.

Skin Food now also comes as a complete skin care range. 

Over the last few years, Weleda have channelled their extensive experience and competence in skin care into the development of a full range of Skin Food products. Based on the existing formula of the original Skin Food, the new products nourish and soothe dry skin following the same holistic approach. Now the popular superfood is available in three different textures:

1. Skin Food Light is a light, quickly absorbing, silky lotion
2. Skin Food Body Butter is a rich buttery easily absorbed formulation 
3. Skin Food Lip Balm a rich, smoothing balm for dry, chapped lips.

Skin Food – The original 
Perfect for dry skin as well as very dry and rough skin patches like on your elbows and knees, the rich, nourishing cream provides intensive moisture and naturally reduces dryness-induced tension and itchiness.

Skin Food Light
You will love the gentle, refreshing touch of Skin Food Light. It’s like a long, cool drink for thirsty, dry skin patches bringing immediate intensive moisture and protection from drying out. The silky texture is quickly absorbed without stickiness, leaving the skin smooth and soft with loving care. It’s the perfect companion to keep you moisturized throughout the day when you’re on the go.

Skin Food Body Butter
Whatever the season, dry skin longs for an extra helping of richly pampering care. The new Skin Food Body Butter with organic shea and cocoa butter intensely nourishes the skin and provides lasting hydration with its unique combination of specific ingredients. The one-of-a-kind buttery texture melts on with skin contact, a special treat after each bath or shower, leaving your skin petal soft.

Skin Food Lip Balm
Dry, chapped lips not only look bad, but they also feel uncomfortable too. You can literally see how thirsty they are for proper care, and the new Skin Food Lip Balm with botanical extracts provides immediate help. Simply smooth it on and feel how it nourishes your lips with natural oils and waxes, melting into your lips leaving a beautiful shine of a gloss.

So next time you feel like you simply can’t moisturise enough, give the little green cream a try and discover for yourself a new superfood for your skin.
