Weleda Skin Food 75ml

Weleda Skin Food a rich cream to deep nourish, protect and repair skin. For dry and rough skin.

A deep-penetrating replenishing skin repair cream for dry patches of skin and for added winter protection. Contains extracts of soothing chamomile, calendula wild pansy and a blend of enriching oils and waxes to provide a fine protective barrier against the ravages of wind and weather.

A favourite of Red Magazine's Beauty Director, Sophie Forte:
“When I kept seeing this on makeup artists’ tables backstage at the shows and on shoots, I was intrigued to try it. Now I see why.

Sure, it’s generally too much to use all over the face (unless I’m on a plane, in which case it’s a brilliantly occlusive barrier to dehydration), but it’s richly nourishing texture lends itself wonderfully to adding sheen to cheekbones and lips instead of using a pearl highlighter product and is an instant panacea to skin that’s remotely red or rough.”

Even before the addition of the plant extracts and essential oils the base itself is food for dry skin.

Hypoallergenic lanolin, Sweet Almond oil and Sunflower Seed oil are three of the main ingredients of the base. Lanolin, chemically, is almost identical to sebum, the natural oil produced by the skin.

It is therefore an ideal substance to 'feed' to dry skin. Both Almond and Sunflower Seed oil soften and soothe the skin and also assist in the penetration of other soothing, rejuvenating ingredients.

Skin Food can be used as a nourishing day and night cream. It is good for rough, dry skin anywhere on the body; face, hands, elbows, knees etc.

It can be used as a protective cream in harsh weather and is excellent for anyone regularly out of doors.

Weleda is a cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals.

Conseils d'utilisation

A little goes a long way, so apply sparingly.

This very rich cream is best applied to the face by gently patting on, so as to avoid dragging the skin. Elsewhere on the body, gently smooth into the skin until the cream is absorbed.

To deeply nourish hard working, dry hands: apply liberally, cover with gloves and leave overnight.
