You know Weleda's Skin Food range lives up to the hype, because its products have been around since 1926! That's right: for almost 100 years, this Swiss brand has been producing its famous, fragrant salve for dry and rough skin.

The original Skin Food is a rich cream blend of emollients such as sunflower seed oil and sweet almond oil with occlusives such as lanolin and beeswax. Together, they function to both soften the skin, as well as encourage moisture retention. There's also organic chamomile and calendula extracts for its soothing benefits, while the trademark scent of sweet orange, lavender and vanilla will make you smell like you've left a day spa.

The Light version is very much similar in function, although with a comparatively lightweight texture as the name suggests. The formula replaces sweet almond oil with cocoa seed butter and uses a smaller amount of lanolin. Skin Food Light also works better under makeup (in our opinion). 

Available in Original and Light.

75ml.

Product of Switzerland, using cultivated ingredients from France, Germany & Switzerland.
