Weleda
Weleda is a brand that has been synonymous with quality, sustainability and natural ingredients since it was established in 1921. The brand's commitment to holistic quality shines through every aspect of their business, from the purchasing of raw materials to the finished product, and onwards to the way it's used by customers. With a focus on ethical sourcing, Weleda uses around three-quarters of plant ingredients from organic or biodynamic farming and certified wild collection sources. The remaining plants are sourced from long-term contractors, ensuring full transparency and trust.
Weleda's dedication to quality continues with the processing systems they use to turn natural raw materials into suitable products for human needs. Whether it is distilling, extracting or exponentiation, each step is carried out in a responsible and caring way. The brand believes that quality is not limited to the products themselves but also includes the experience of using them, so only natural essential oils are used for perfuming their products. This makes them more suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
As a brand with more than 100 years of experience in manufacturing natural cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, Weleda has built up a lifetime of expertise in the business. Their plants are grown in their own medicinal herb gardens, and through biodynamic cultivation, they remain committed to treating nature responsibly. Weleda also places great emphasis on sustainable and socially responsible trade, which applies to the entire production chain. They avoid synthetic dyes and fragrances or 'nature-identical' preservatives, thus, ensuring that their products are free of harmful chemicals that can be detrimental to health.
Weleda's commitment to quality sees the brand proudly stamped with NATRUE, the first internationally recognised quality seal for organic and natural cosmetics. It creates clarity in the labelling of its products and gives its customers an assurance that they are purchasing genuine natural products. Weleda's full definition of quality rests on four pillars, which include social, material-environmental, user and therapeutic quality. This commitment to quality is why we, at Natural Chemist, proudly recommend the brand to our customers who aim to maintain their health with natural products.
