Since 1921, Weleda has been producing natural cosmetics using the properties of hundreds of medicinal plants, an experience that has led it to be synonymous with quality and professionalism in the field of organic and ecological cosmetics and at the forefront of attention to environmental sustainability and the maintenance of biodiversity.

Weleda Ethics

Weleda carries out its work with an important guiding objective, namely the use of resources, raw materials, packaging, energy and water, in a sustainable way to ensure adequate living conditions for future generations. But the sustainability that Weleda takes care of is not only environmental, but also social and economic, recognizing fair remuneration and establishing long-term contracts.

The quality of Weleda cosmetics

The quality of Weleda cosmetic products can be found in every single process and manufacturing phase, but what we want to emphasize is that in all cosmetics we use only plant raw materials from organic and biodynamic cultivation, or from certified spontaneous collection. As Weleda declares, out of respect for man and nature, absolutely no perfumes, mineral oils and synthetic substances such as paraffin, silicones or parabens or GMO raw materials are used. The wonderful fragrances that enrich the products come only from essential oils carefully extracted from the plant. Given the ethics and respect for man, Weleda carries out tests on animals.

Cultivation of medicinal plants

Weleda directly grows about three-quarters of the medicinal plants it uses for its cosmetic products in its magnificent and immense gardens scattered around the world. Here, the gardeners carry out a complex job that is to help nature where it needs it, for example by recreating the natural habitat for certain species. Cultivation therefore always takes place using organic and biodynamic methods, which means that no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used but that the land is helped only with the composting technique and by adding manure and herbs. In these fantastic places, an important work of biodiversity conservation is also carried out (given the enormous number of cultivated plants) and at the same time the creation of habitats for insects and small fauna that in turn keep parasites away. The rest of the plants come from selected areas for certified spontaneous collection or from suppliers.

Processing

All the manufacturing processes needed to make cosmetic products, such as distillation or maceration, are carried out with the utmost care to maintain the quality of the raw materials and at the same time obtain the maximum effectiveness from them. Even in the production phases, Weleda shows its attention to sustainability by increasingly increasing the use of renewable energy, trying to reuse, for example, condensation water and increasingly reducing its use per kilogram of finished product.

NATRUE Certification

Weleda products are NATRUE certified, which is the first internationally recognized quality label for natural and organic cosmetics. This label guarantees that:

• the ingredients are natural and organic;
• the production method is sustainable;
• there are no synthetic colours or perfumes;
• there are no silicone oils or derivatives of petrochemical products;
