Weleda Skin Food Reviews

Review of Weleda Skin Food
By Gillian L.

PACKAGING The Weleda Skin Food comes in an aluminium tube in a box. All Weleda packaging is made from recycled materials and can be recycled again. The 25ml trial size is great for popping into your handbag.

APPLICATION Skin food ,as it says, is an intensive , nourishing cream suitable for rough, dry skin anywhere on the body. Weleda Skin Food can be used as a day and night cream and also makes a fabulous overnight hand treatment used with cotton gloves. It is very intensive so I think most suited to very dry skins, rough patches and for extra winter protection. To apply to the face use only a spot and then gently dab in to avoid dragging the skin as it is such a rich consistency. Weleda skin food is easier to apply to hands and other body areas but needs well rubbed in and leaves skin slightly sticky until absorbed. I would describe this product as a skin treatment rather than an everyday moisturiser unless your skin is very dry.

INGREDIENTS Weleda grow their own plants and herbs under strict organic controls so all products are 100% free from artificial pesticides and herbicides .As a long established ethical, organic and cruelty free company all Weleda products can be trusted by those of us concerned about what we put on our bodies and how we treat our world resources. The main moisturising ingredients in the Weleda skin food are sunflower oil, sweet almond oil ,beeswax and lanolin. Herbal extracts of rosemary ,chamomile and calendula give the cream its nourishing and healing properties.

RESULTS I used Weleda skin food cream on my hands and elbows. I loved the citrussy, herbal scent though this was quite strong and may upset those sensitive to essential oils. Applied as an intensive hand treatment , wearing cotton gloves overnight, Weleda skin food left my hands silky soft, hydrated and nourished. As a hand cream to simply apply as needed I found it rather heavy and as it takes time to absorb feels a bit tacky. However it was so effective as a hand treatment that I’d buy this again.

PROS Weleda skin cream Good value for money
- A quality treatment for rough ,dry skin
-organic and ethically sound product
-suitable for female and male as scent is herbal.

CONS Contains lanolin and beeswax so not suitable for vegans or those allergic to lanolin
