What’s good

- Natural ingredients, no nasties
- Forms an all-day protective barrier
What I’d change
- Rich balm, a lot for oily skin, so use sparingly
Winner of Essentials 2012: The feelgood all-round eco beauty hero and loved by Adele, Rihanna and Vicky B, this bizarre, cool, nourishing and awesome skin protectant has been a backstage beauty secret since 1926. This is the premier offering from Weleda.
Ideal for patches of dryness and flakiness, this beautifying balm is perfect for dry and dehydrated skin to give it its mojo back. When applied, skin is nourished and ‘fed’ leaving it hydrated, moisturised, smooth and glowing.
Filled with lovelies, you’ll find sunflower seed oil, lanolin, sweet almond oil, beeswax, rosemary oil, matricaria flower extract and calendula flower extract. The floral, herbal and almost citrusy fragrance is purely from natural extracts.
Not only is the skin restored through regular use; during harsh winter weather, skin is protected from the elements as the cream forms a natural and powerful barrier that lasts all day long.
So it’s just for the face, right? Nope – heads, shoulders, knees and toes. Anywhere you find dryness, use only the smallest amount and boom, hey presto and alakazam – your dryness has disappeared without any artificial nasties in sight.
