If you're not familiar with the healing power of Weleda's all-natural Skin Food, here's two more reasons to give it a try. Editor Trudi Brewer shares the latest innovation from this organic beauty brand.
Loved by celebrities, beauty bloggers and makeup artists alike, I am also rarely without a tube of this cure-all cream. Soothing dry skin across the globe since 1923, now almost 100 years on there are two new additions to the range a Body Butter and Lip Balm. Here's how they work.
“Once you lift the lid and massage the goodness from this butter onto your skin, you will not want to be without it”
Weleda Skin Food Body Butter, $30.
This exquisite body butter has been designed to use over your entire body, offering the same intense hydration as the original cream in a whipped, lightweight butter formulation.
What's in it?
A balm-like texture it’s fast absorbing and vegan-friendly thanks to the blend of cocoa seed butter, shea butter, rosemary, and sunflower oils. While flower extracts including wild pansy, calendula, and chamomile, once blended with cocoa butter offer instant comfort to parched-looking skin.
Why do we like it?
Free from synthetic preservatives, fragrance, and colourants, it wears the NATRUE Certified Natural Trust stamp with pride, ensuring once you lift the lid and massage the goodness from this butter onto your skin, you will not want to be without it. Ingredients straight from Mother Nature, they are healing as well as heavenly scented. Brilliant for repairing dry elbows, knees, cracked heels and cuticles - it’s a standout multi-purpose beauty buy.
Weleda Skin Food Lip Balm, $13.
“As a base to a drying, matte lipstick or creamy gloss, this balm leaves a fine film that prevents moisture-loss and stops your lippy from bleeding into fine lines.”
How often do you reach for a lip balm each day? If you're like me it's at least a dozen times, and who knows what's in it, right? Here’s an organic option that heals and perfects skin instantly.
What is it?
All-natural, this lip-loving balm comes packed in a handy, travel-friendly tube that won’t break the bank.
What's in it?
A calming blend of ingredients including organic viola, chamomile, and calendula flowers, blended with a bouquet of calming hydrating plant oils. Once whipped into a base of beeswax this balm melts onto the lips and stays put for hours. The subtle fragrance is a blend of sweet orange, lavender and Benzoin Siam, (gum resin) that together offers antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral benefits - essential in a hard-working lip balm.
Why do we like it?
For those balm lovers who choose to wear nothing else, this is my go-to lip treatment. Or as a base to a drying, matte lipstick or creamy gloss, this balm leaves a fine film that prevents moisture-loss and stops lippy from bleeding into fine lines. It will soothe, and calm the skin, correct dryness and heal cracked lips naturally - I promise.
