Weleda Skin Food-Top to Toe Body Care Set

Yes, Weleda Skin Food original can be used on the face, especially for very dry or rough patches that require intensive nourishment. For those who prefer a lighter feel or faster absorption for daily facial hydration, Skin Food Light is often a preferred alternative.

The original Skin Food is a much richer, thicker cream designed for intensive nourishment and protection of very dry and rough skin. Skin Food Light is a lighter, quickly absorbed lotion that provides immediate moisturization and supports skin regeneration, making it ideal for daily use or when on the go.

These products are formulated with natural plant extracts like calendula and chamomile, which are known for their calming properties. However, they do contain natural fragrance derived from essential oils. If you have very sensitive skin or known fragrance sensitivities, it is strongly recommended to perform a patch test before full application.

No, the products in this set (Skin Food Original, Skin Food Light, and Skin Food Lip Balm) contain beeswax (Cera Alba) and Lanolin, which are animal-derived ingredients. Therefore, they are not suitable for strict vegans.

You should apply the Skin Food Lip Balm as often as needed throughout the day. It is particularly beneficial to apply it when your lips feel dry, chapped, or when exposed to harsh conditions like wind, sun, or cold weather. Apply generously for optimal soothing and repair.

'Biodynamic calendula' refers to calendula flowers cultivated using biodynamic agricultural practices, which emphasize ecological sustainability, soil vitality, and a holistic approach to farming. 'Viola tricolor,' also known as wild pansy, is a plant extract valued for its skin-calming and soothing properties, particularly beneficial for dry and irritated skin conditions.

While these products contain gentle, natural ingredients, they are primarily formulated for adult skin. For use on children, especially infants or toddlers with very delicate skin, it is always advisable to consult with a pediatrician or perform a small patch test before regular application to ensure suitability.

For facial application or if you desire quicker absorption, consider using the Skin Food Light. When using the original, apply a smaller amount, warm it between your palms, and gently press or pat it onto the skin. For body application, try applying it to slightly damp skin after showering; this can help with spreading and absorption.

While formulated with gentle natural extracts, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific plant ingredients or natural essential oil fragrances. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. It is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread application, especially if you have a history of skin sensitivities.

Ensure you are applying the Skin Food Lip Balm generously and frequently throughout the day, particularly before exposing your lips to harsh weather conditions. Consistent hydration from within by drinking plenty of water is also crucial for lip health. If severe chapping persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional.

Natural formulations can sometimes exhibit minor variations or subtle separation due to temperature changes. Ensure the products are stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat/cold. If the change is significant, affects the product's performance, or causes concern, contact Weleda customer support for further assistance.
