Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Rich Body Cream, Original 2.5 fl oz — Plant-Rich Hydrating Balm

Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Body Cream is a concentrated, plant-powered moisturizer designed to soothe and replenish very dry, rough skin. Weleda’s Skin Food blends botanical extracts and botanical oils in a creamy, emollient base to deliver long-lasting moisture wherever skin needs extra care. This compact 2.5 fl oz tub contains a multi-purpose balm that can be used on hands, elbows, cuticles, knees, and even as a targeted beauty boost on the face or hair tips. The formula is free from synthetic fragrances, colors, preservatives, and mineral oil derivatives, and it is certified natural by NATRUE.

How does Skin Food help rough, dry patches?

The formula combines richly emollient oils with plant extracts that support moisture retention and surface comfort. Its thick texture creates a protective film that reduces moisture loss while leaving a soft, dewy finish.

• Sunflower and sweet almond oils for nourishing lipids
• Pansy, chamomile and calendula extracts to calm and balance skin's surface
• Concentrated, ultra-rich cream that needs only a small amount per application

Can I use this on my face, hands, and hair?

Yes — Skin Food is intentionally versatile. Use a light touch on the face as an overnight rich moisturizer, apply more generously to hands and elbows, or smooth a tiny amount through dry hair ends to tame frizz and add shine.

• Face: small dabs as an intensive night treatment or spot-care
• Body: quick absorption with long-lasting hydration for dry areas
• Hair: rub a pea-sized amount into ends to reduce flyaways and add conditioning

What makes the ingredients plant-rich and natural?

Weleda sources botanical extracts and cold-pressed oils to create a moisturising base without synthetic additives. The product is formulated with NATRUE-certified natural ingredients and excludes parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil derivatives.

• Pansy, chamomile, and calendula extracts for botanical support
• Sunflower and sweet almond oils provide essential fatty acids for skin resilience
• Free from synthetic fragrances, colors, and preservatives

How much do I need and how often should I apply?

A little goes a long way thanks to the concentrated texture: a pea-sized amount covers small areas like cuticles or around the nose, while larger areas may need a fingertip amount. Apply as needed—daily for dry skin maintenance or more often for particularly rough patches.

• Small spots: pea-sized dab
• Hands/elbows: fingertip-to-palm amounts
• Overnight use: apply a slightly thicker layer to target zones for deeper conditioning

Who is this for: Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Body Cream is designed for anyone with dry to very dry skin who wants a plant-based, multi-tasking balm. It's ideal for people seeking a compact, travel-friendly treatment to smooth rough patches, hydrate cuticles, add a temporary hair-smoothing touch, or use as an occasional rich facial treatment. Those who prefer natural formulations and environmental stewardship will appreciate Weleda’s long-standing commitment to cruelty-free, thoughtfully sourced botanicals.
