Weleda has released a new vegan face cream – here's what we thought
Weleda, a Swiss company founded in 1921, has grown to be the world's number one producer of certified natural skincare (one Weleda Skin Food moisturiser sells every three seconds worldwide). Its range is recognised by Natrue, the benchmark for products created without synthetic ingredients, artificial additives, microplastics or mineral oils.
Wild Rose & White Tea Smoothing Day Cream
£22.95 Shop
Why should I buy?
This new cream is vegan and contains extract of Sri Lankan white tea (from certified organic small family farms), which has antioxidants that protect skin as effectively as vitamin C. Organic wild rosehip oil sourced from Chile strengthens the skin's barrier, and its damask roses are grown by a women's cooperative in Morocco that uses snowmelt from the Atlas Mountains to water plants. The cardboard packaging is made from a minimum of 80 per cent recycled fibres, while the glass jars are recyclable.
Why shouldn't I buy?
The ingredients are from Chile, Morocco and Sri Lanka, so need to be transported to Switzerland, where the cream is made.
The extra mile
Transportation is by road or sea (not air), and Weleda makes just one large container shipment a month to its UK HQ in Derbyshire, rather than numerous smaller deliveries. The brand has also financed a community area to provide a childcare facility for the growers in Morocco, where children are looked after while mothers work.
Made in
Switzerland.
Made from
Cold-pressed wild rosehip oil, organic white tea extract, damask rose and organic apricot oil.
Journey
Road and sea.

Ever wondered what's inside a supermodel suitcase? Wonder no more!
Lindsey Wixson knows a thing or two about packing for summer- particularly when it comes to nailing effortless, light luxury. It's hardly surprising, really. The American supermodel is no stranger to hopping across time zones, flitting between castings, and ensuring she's ready at a moment's notice for a spontaneous sunshine shoot - just look to our Grazia Beauty Book cover for proof. One peek inside Wixson's suitcase confirms her approach to packing is equal parts functional and fabulous. She swears by a tightly edited selection of skincare saviours and fashion multi-taskers - think clever pieces that work double duty (a bag and a hat in one? Yes, really) - ensuring every item earns its place in that overhead locker. From featherweight hemp swimwear to luxe hydrating serums, consider Wixson's travel style the ultimate guide to packing like a supermodel. 1. Allies of Skin Promise Keeper Nightly Blemish Treatment Price: £128 'This overnight mask helps to heal and soothe my acne-prone skin, all while moisturising. I also use the Treatment Mist, which contains colloidal silver- it's antibacterial and helps temper my breakouts.' 2. The Hat Bag Ruslan Baginskiy 'A bag that's also a hat! Multi-functional accessories are the best.' 3. Weleda Arnica Bumps & Bruises Salve Ointment 'I always have a tube of this arnica cream on me when I'm travelling. It does exactly what it says it does – it's great for bumps and bruises.' 4. Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge 'My go-to holiday perfume – notes of jasmine take me straight back to the South of France.' 5. Sezane Wicker Basket 'So easy to throw everything into this bag before heading to the beach or out for dinner. It packs down really well too.' 6. Dr. Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Serum Price: £290 'I love the texture of this serum and it absorbs so quickly. I'm a big fan of the face wash too.' 7. TP101 Driving Polo, FM669 'It's all about the cut of this shirt and it can be dressed up or down.' 8. Swimsuit, Natasha Tonic 'Hemp swimwear is eco-friendly and I like to pair this one-piece with jeans as well.'

Bella Hadid reveals her beauty hack when travelling - and it's under £10
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more We have been avid fans of Weleda's Skin Food for years, we've even got our friends and family onto the product. Turns out, we're not the only fans of the nourishing moisturiser either as Bella Hadid swears by it too. However, we struggle to slim down our beauty haul when travelling, especially when we only take hand luggage on a flight, which limits our liquid allowance – aka inhibits our multi-step skincare regime. But, Bella has a secret beauty travel hack. Turns out Bella dodges the restrictions by packing Weleda's Skin Food in the travel-friendly 30ml tube with her when she's on the go. Not only is it lightweight, but it functions as numerous products in one. Genius! Formulated with organic sunflower seed oil, wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and rosemary extract, which combine to offer a deeply hydrating treatment. The moisturiser has been infused with essential oils to gently scent the product. It can be used on the skin and body as an intense moisturiser, face mask, or primer. BUY NOW FOR £9.50 In a Vogue Beauty Secrets video earlier this year, the Orebella founder revealed her love for the intensive moisturiser, which she reportedly goes through 'eight of these a month' – impressive! Speaking in the beauty tutorial, she said: 'I go through eight of these a month, and I buy them from CVS because I am obsessed with them. I have the little versions and the big versions.' While Bella ploughs through several 75ml tubes of Skin Food a month, she also relies on the smaller 30ml version for travelling. If you know Skin Food you will know that a little goes a long way, which is why packing the smaller version is tactical packing. But Skin Food is a multifunctional product, so it can condense your entire bodycare, skincare and nail care routine into one, and that's why it is so genius. Weleda's Skin Food is deeply nourishing without being greasy or slipping off, it feels like your skin is drinking up all the goodness throughout the day. It has been formulated with organic sunflower seed oil, wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and rosemary extract, which combine to offer a deeply hydrating and soothing treatment. The Skin Food is lightly fragranced with essential oils, including sweet orange and lavandula, which are calming yet revitalising. The multi-purpose moisturising cream is the perfect moisturiser for your skin day and night, it can also double up as an intensive face mask. But, it can also be applied on the body, including the hands, feet, and elbows, for a head-to-toe treatment. While Bella uses it as a moisturiser, she also mentioned it acts as a primer before she applies her make-up cosmetics on top, but it leaves a dewy finish without applying highlighter. More Trending Joining us and Bella as devoted fans are Victoria Beckham, Hailey Bieber, Drew Barrymore, Molly-Mae Hague, Adele and many others. If the fact this multifunctional beauty product can do almost anything, and the fact it has an extensive list of celebrity fans, isn't enough, maybe the fact that one tube sells every eight seconds is the final hint you need this in your beauty cupboard. If you have oily skin and are looking for something a little lighter, don't fret as Weleda has a Skin Food Light. We almost forgot to mention Weleda has an extensive range of specific skincare products , including body oils, eye creams, and cleansers that are gentle, effective yet affordable.
