Weleda voted Best Natural Range

WINNER 2010

For the second year running, Weleda has won Best Natural Range in the Natural Health magazine Beauty Awards, beating runners up Burt’s Bees, REN, Trilogy and Ole Henriksen.

Natural Health explained why Weleda was a clear winner in this category:

“Behind many brands there’s a highly individual company philosophy, and this is truly the case with Weleda. Founded in 1921, the company’s original mission statement, ‘working in harmony with nature’ still appears on packs today. There’s a wide range for all the family including gentle babycare, eco-friendly haircare, anti-ageing bodycare, products for problem skin and a men’s range. Weleda classics include everyday essentials that nourish your skin and revive your senses with aromatic essential oils, leaving you glowing with health. Products are entirely free from synthetic ingredients, GM materials, artificial additives or preservatives and made using all-natural, sustainable and mostly organic ingredients. The range is certified by NaTrue and the eco-credentials of this green beauty pioneer are exemplary.”

Mother & Baby Award 2009

Weleda baby wins new gold award

It’s great timing, in the year that Weleda’s golden calendula baby oil is celebrating its 50th birthday, that this highly respected baby range has won yet another accolade and is going from strength to strength.

The range has just been awarded Best Skincare Range Mother & Baby Awards. These awards have been established for 17 years and are considered by many to be the Oscars of the baby industry, with over 3,000 testers trying everything from buggies to breast-pumps and reporting on a huge variety of baby brands.

One tester summed up her feedback on Weleda Baby: "This baby range provides an exceptional skincare experience”.

There are so many baby products on the market that it can be difficult to know which are worth buying. So every year Mother & Baby magazine trials a wide range of products on the market to let parents know which scored highly. The best buys are judged on quality, usability and value for money.

Weleda Baby tipped for the top

The Weleda Baby range was voted Top Skincare Brand in the highly-respected midwife-tested TIPS awards. Even to be nominated for the TIPS awards, brands need to meet the strict midwife criteria including standards of ethics and naturalness. Products must be free from detergents and artificial additives such as synthetic fragrance, and company policy needs to support breastfeeding and other issues particularly close to midwives’ hearts. As midwife and author Sharon Trotter, the founder of the TIPS independent testing initiative explains:

“Congratulations go to the Weleda Baby range as the overall favourite. A beautifully presented range of products manufactured using only the finest ingredients by a company committed to restoring health and maintaining wellbeing naturally, ethically, safely, without animal experimentation and without damaging the environment”.
