Their aim is to help everyone, old and young, to restore health and maintain wellbeing and they are committed to doing so naturally, ethically, safely, without animal experimentation and without damaging the environment. This is not a marketing ploy but a way of life and is deeply rooted in all aspects of their business. These beliefs affect every decision they make at Weleda.

At Weleda they made a conscious decision from the outset to avoid artificial ingredients and use only raw materials from the natural world - for example, naturally occurring minerals like sodium chloride or honey, and precious plant ingredients grown organically, or better still biodynamically at their farms around the world. By using essential oils in their bodycare products for their natural preservative properties we avoid the need to use artificial preservatives such as parabens. Many Weleda bodycare products bear the BDIH kite mark (certified natural cosmetic) so you can tell at a glance the product is genuinely natural.

Wherever possible they use biodynamic or organic ingredients, in fact Weleda pioneered the use of biodynamic or organic ingredients in the personal care industry. Biodynamic agriculture involves growing plants to the highest organic standards without chemical pesticides or sprays. It takes into account not just the seasons but also the rhythms of the planets. Crops are planted or harvested at the optimum time and the soil is enriched and revitalised with biodynamic preparations and natural fertilisers, so plants have a strong inherent life-force and a more potent effect when used in health products.
