Weleda was founded in Switzerland in 1921 by a Dutch medical doctor Ita Wegman and the renowned philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Weleda was established in the UK shortly after in 1925. Weleda natural skincare products are carefully produced from quality natural ingredients. They are caringly blended and are particularly gentle to the skin, containing no synthetic preserving agents nor colouring, or flavouring.
Weleda has never conducted or commissioned animal experiments, neither at research level nor in connection with quality and usage tests. Weleda's philosophy is to help everyone to care for their body and skin in a way which is natural, ethical, safe, without animal experimentation and without damaging the environment.
