Love this thick cream
My skin soaks it up without greasy residue " - Louisa
Weleda Skin Food is an ultra-nourishing moisturiser that soothes and restores very dry, rough skin.
Formulated with a rich blend of plant oils, lanolin, and beeswax, this thick cream provides deep hydration while calming extracts of pansy, chamomile, and calendula help to soothe irritation. Ideal for dry patches on the face and body, including hands, elbows, and heels, Skin Food replenishes moisture and supports the skin’s protective barrier. Infused with natural essential oils, it leaves a subtle scent of sweet orange, lavender, and warm vanilla. Perfect for use during colder months, after exposure to harsh conditions, or whenever skin needs extra care.
How To Use Weleda Skin Food
