Botanical beauty, backed by nearly 100 years of trust

Founded in 1926, Weleda delivers pure, plant-powered formulas that soothe, protect, and hydrate — with zero harsh ingredients. From sun-exposed skin to dry, sensitive areas, these rich blends feel like a ritual — not just a routine.

Whether you’re dealing with dust, heat, or sensitive skin that needs real love, Weleda is here to serve.

We’ve curated our MyHQ favourites — and added budget-friendly dupes and luxury alternatives you’ll love.

1. Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra Rich Cream (75 ml)

Why it’s beloved:
A multi-use cult classic enriched with beeswax, lanolin, calendula, pansy, chamomile, and rosemary. Skin Food feels like a thick, herbal balm that melts into dry skin, leaving behind a soft, comforting glow. Celebs (Victoria Beckham, Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Aniston) swear by it — and so do we.

Smells like: fresh herbs and floral salves — earthy and soothing
Feels like: a warm wrap for dry, tight skin

Perfect for: Nairobi dust, post-flight dryness, or glow-up knees and elbows

Affordable Dupe:
Nivea Soft (German tin) – thick and creamy, with a surprisingly similar feel

Luxury Alternative:
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream – oat + ceramides for rich hydration

2. Weleda Skin Food Body Butter (150 ml)

Why it’s amazing:
This rich body butter blends shea, cocoa butter, and plant oils with a silky texture that sinks in quickly. It leaves your skin soft, velvety, and hydrated all day — without greasiness.

Smells like: a garden after rain — green, clean, slightly sweet
Feels like: melted butter that smooths instantly into skin

Ideal after your evening shower, especially during dry seasons

Affordable Dupe:

3. Weleda Calendula Baby Body Wash & Shampoo (200 ml)

A soap-free, no-tears formula that cleanses gently with calendula. This is loved by mums and melanin-rich babes alike — no stripping, no sting.

4. Weleda Rosemary Revitalising Hair Tonic (100 ml)

Feels like: silky oil turning to soft foam

Perfect post-gym, post-heat, or when your skin feels dull and dry
