Weleda 's history is rooted in the innovative vision of pioneering physician Ita Wegman and philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Their ambition? To develop a holistic approach to health, based on the natural balance between man and his environment. In 1921, they decided to found the first Weleda laboratories in Switzerland and Germany.
Based on an anthroposophical philosophy, Weleda advocated natural medicine, using nature's resources to restore harmony to body and mind. The company quickly established itself as a key player in homeopathic medicines, phytotherapeutic care and organic cosmetics.
In the decades that followed, Weleda developed numerous innovative ranges, based on environmentally-friendly processes and ancestral knowledge. The company is recognized worldwide for its commitment to responsible production and total transparency towards its consumers.
For over a century, Weleda has been committed to respecting people and the environment. This is reflected in our rigorous biodynamic, fair trade and sustainability practices.
Biodynamic agriculture is one of Weleda's founding pillars. Inspired by the principles developed by Rudolf Steiner, this method aims to enhance the vitality of soils and plants, using natural practices that respect biological cycles. In Weleda gardens, each plant is cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, ensuring optimal quality and efficacy of plant active ingredients.
Fair trade is another of the brand's strong commitments. Weleda works with farmers and suppliers around the world, guaranteeing fair working conditions and a fair price for raw materials. This commitment not only preserves natural resources, but also supports local communities in the sustainable development of their businesses.
Weleda is also committed to reducing its ecological footprint. This involves recyclable packaging, the use of renewable energies at its production sites, and manufacturing methods that minimize environmental impact.
Weleda develops innovative cosmetics inspired by the vital forces of nature. Its formulas combine vegetable oils rich in essential fatty acids, medicinal plant extracts and natural essential oils.
Each ingredient is carefully selected for its natural virtues, guaranteeing healthy, effective and safe products. Weleda does not use mineral oils, silicones, parabens or microplastics, thus protecting your skin and the planet.
