It’s a unique, ultra-rich whole-body cream that deeply hydrates, restores and protects your skin. Stubborn dryness on your elbows, hands and feet are moisturized and conditioned with the essential fatty acids and vitamin E in our organic sunflower seed oil.

Soothing rosemary leaf extract’s mild antiseptic properties and the anti-inflammatory properties of organic calendula flower extract gently nourish and care for your skin. Deeply moisturized and protected, your skin looks soft and supple with a healthy glow. It’s your recommended daily allowance of radiance, and it’s just what you and your skin are craving.

<p>If you’ve ever read the back of a bottle of body wash at the drugstore, you’re probably aware that Mother Nature had little to do with a product you intend to use on a daily basis. Instead of plant-based and nature-derived ingredients, you might find a long list of questionable chemicals and words that are difficult to pronounce. Weleda is different. Instead of loading self-care products with ingredients made in a laboratory, the earth-friendly brand takes a holistic approach to personal care. Every item in Weleda’s extensive line is made with biodynamically farmed ingredients that work with and support the body naturally. Here’s what you should know about this <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/beauty" target="_blank">beauty brand</a> must-have.</p>
<h2>The History of Weleda</h2>
<p>Named after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing, Weleda goes as far back as 1921, when philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner sparked a movement called anthroposophy in Switzerland. Anthroposophy encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind, and spirit as intrinsically linked to our world—that it’s all part of one holistic system. Together with Dr. Ita Wegman, Steiner developed a personal care approach that used natural ingredients to support the body’s own healing tendencies. These personal care products were produced using the world’s first biodynamic gardens (<a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/is-organic-food-better-for-you" target="_blank">biodynamics is an organic approach to agriculture</a>). Soon, word got out about the groundbreaking work Weleda was doing, and the company spread from Switzerland to Germany, into North America, and eventually throughout the world. Today Weleda has offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries.</p>
<h2>Weleda Company Mission</h2>
<p>Weleda’s mission is to actively cultivate beauty with meaningful products that work with the body’s own natural vitality and ability to nurture and heal. The brand strongly believes in supporting health and beauty so people are empowered to cultivate beauty in the world—for themselves, for their children, and for the children of generations to come. </p>
<h2>Benefits of Weleda</h2>
