Get to Know Weleda
Picture a skincare brand with over 100 years of natural formulation behind it. Weleda has been crafting plant-based body care, face care, and baby essentials since 1921, earning trust across generations. At Wholefood Merchants, we carry an extensive range so you can explore iconic body oils, nourishing creams, and gentle baby products all in one place. Quality you can feel from the first drop.
What Makes Weleda Special?
Weleda combines traditional botanical knowledge with modern care standards. Ingredients are sourced responsibly, with a focus on biodynamic and organic farming wherever possible. Formulas avoid synthetic preservatives, fragrances, and mineral oils, relying instead on plant extracts, natural oils, and essential oils for efficacy and scent.
With 102 products in our range, the breadth covers newborns through to mature skin - and everything in between. Weleda does not chase trends. It builds on a century of experience that keeps bringing people back.
What Goes Into Weleda Products
Expect plant oils like rosehip, almond, and argan. Herbal extracts including calendula, arnica, and pomegranate. Beeswax and lanolin where needed for barrier support. Essential oils provide natural fragrance that fades gently. Every ingredient serves a purpose - no fillers, no padding, no unnecessary extras.
This whole-plant philosophy means formulas feel rich but absorb well. Skin gets nourishment it recognises, and routines feel grounded rather than complicated.
How to Use Weleda
With a range this broad, there are plenty of ways to enjoy it. Here are five starting points.
Signature Body Oils
Warm a few drops between your palms and massage into damp skin after showering. The oil locks in moisture and leaves a subtle, natural scent that lasts.
Face Care Routines
Match a cleanser, toner, and moisturiser to your skin type. Weleda offers lines for combination, dry, and sensitive skin so you can keep things targeted.
Baby and Toddler Care
Calendula-based washes, creams, and oils are gentle enough for newborn skin. Use sparingly - a little covers a lot of ground.
Targeted Treatments
Arnica products for muscle comfort after sport. Skin Food for intense hydration on rough patches. Eye creams for the delicate under-eye area.
Oral Care
Natural toothpaste options that clean effectively without synthetic foaming agents. A small change that fits a bigger wellness picture.
Family-Friendly From Day One
Weleda's baby range is one of the most trusted in natural care. Calendula nappy cream, gentle baby wash, and soothing body oil make bath time calm and simple. As kids grow, transition into junior-friendly face and body care. Parents can share the same brand philosophy across the household, simplifying the bathroom shelf. As kids grow, Eco by Sonya offers a natural next step for body care and tanning.
Support for Mature and Changing Skin
Skin changes with age, hormones, seasons, and lifestyle. Weleda's pomegranate and evening primrose lines are formulated with mature skin in mind - supporting elasticity, hydration, and radiance without heaviness. Layer a serum under a day cream for a richer routine, or keep it simple with a single all-purpose moisturiser.
Creative Ways to Enjoy the Range
DIY Face Mask Boost
Add a few drops of face oil to your favourite clay mask for extra nourishment. Rinse and follow with moisturiser for a spa-like finish.
Post-Workout Recovery
Massage arnica oil into tired legs and shoulders after training. Gentle, rhythmic strokes help muscles relax and recover. For internal recovery support, pair with Herbs of Gold magnesium and herbal blends.
Bath Ritual
Add body oil to running bath water for a hydrating soak. The warmth helps the oil absorb while essential oils fill the room with calm.
Hand and Cuticle Care
Rub a small amount of Skin Food into hands and cuticles before bed. Pull on cotton gloves for an overnight treatment that leaves hands soft by morning.
Seasonal Picks Worth Trying
Your skin changes with the calendar. Rotate a few favourites and your routine stays effective without overcomplicating things.
Summer
Switch to lighter moisturisers and lean on SPF-friendly face care. Body oil absorbs fast on warm skin after a cool shower. Keep a tube of Skin Food in your beach bag for salt-and-sun recovery on lips, hands, and shoulders.
Winter
Richer creams and heavier oils earn their place when the air dries out. Layer a serum under your day cream for extra barrier support. Lip balm and hand cream at arm's reach stop cracking before it starts.
Travel
Flights and climate shifts leave skin parched. Pack travel-sized essentials - cleanser, moisturiser, and a multi-purpose oil. Apply generously mid-flight and again on arrival. Give skin a full day to adjust before adding anything new.
Recovery Days
After a long hike, a tough gym session, or just a draining week, arnica oil on tired muscles and a warm bath with body oil make a noticeable difference. Pair with an early night and let your body catch up.

Simple Tips for Best Results
Apply oils and creams to damp skin for better absorption. Store products in a cool, dry place to preserve botanical potency. Introduce one new product at a time and give your skin a week to adjust. Use gentle, upward motions when applying face care. For baby products, less is more - a pea-sized amount covers a lot.
