Cosmetics Weleda: customer reviews, assortment

"Organic" and "natural" - these adjectives are now often used by cosmetics manufacturers to simply follow fashion trends. Weleda is a quality known all over the world since 1921. Organic drugs, medicinal and natural cosmetics today are produced at three enterprises in Switzerland, Germany and France.

History

Weleda was founded more than 90 years ago by the chemist-pharmacist Oscar Schmidel, Dr. Ita Wegman and philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Together they developed the principles of anthroposophic medicine, the main idea of which is to induce the body to heal with the help of pharmaceuticals.

The company received its name in 1928 thanks to the German prophetess and healer Velede. In the same year, Rudolf Steiner came up with a logo with an Aesculapius serpent and a staff symbolizing healing.

Seven lines

The brand Weleda, which will be reviewed in our review, offers customers seven lines of cosmetics:

• hair care;
• Male line;
• Means for the body;
• A series for expectant mothers;
• Care for the face;
• Children's product line;
• Oral care.

According to the company's specialists, only natural substances are present in the composition of the product - no dyes and preservatives. In addition to wild plants, Weleda uses plants grown in its own garden. At the plant that produces extracts, raw materials are processed by various methods.

For expectant mothers

In the series for expectant mothers, four Weleda products are presented:

1. Oil for the preparation of an intimate area - gives the muscles elasticity.
2. Breast oil during lactation - eliminates stagnation.
3. Oil for the prevention of stretch marks - prevents the formation of striae.
4. Oil for the massage of the tummies of infants - regulates the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The appearance of the baby in the light causes a lot of questions and concerns in the woman. Many of the fair sex choose natural birth, but from the breaks, unfortunately, no one is immune.

To increase the elasticity of the intimate area, the scientists of the German brand are offered with the help of such a means as oil for the preparation for childbirth of Weleda. Reviews of young mothers talk about questionable effectiveness, which coincides with the opinion of the treating doctors.

The main ingredients in the product are almond oil and wheat germ oil , which are designed to increase the extensibility and elasticity of tissues, as well as reduce the risk of rupture. A pleasant aroma gives a combination of essential oils of wild rose and clary sage. You can start the massage from the 34th week in the absence of contraindications and after consulting an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Good composition or heredity

Weight fluctuations during pregnancy and after childbirth lead to the appearance of stretch marks. Skin on the abdomen, chest and hips requires special attention and care, and your main assistant can be Weleda oil from stretch marks.

Feedback from the fair sex indicates the effectiveness of the tool, but only in the absence of genetic predisposition and regular application. In the product of the German brand there are oils of wheat germ and jojoba, almond oil and arnica extract, which nourish the skin, have an antimicrobial effect and support the metabolism.

In fact, many cosmeticians believe that it is impossible to prevent or remove stretch marks with the help of oils. If your skin is prone to their appearance, only control of weight gain during pregnancy will help to cope with the problem.

For hair

On the harm of silicones and parabens in the composition of cosmetics has been said already a lot, so natural products are in high demand. Series Weleda for hair reviews of girls and women characterize only with a good side.

All products can boast herbal ingredients in combination with soft surfactants. In the line of hair care products are:

• Shampoo-care, restoring mask and balm-conditioner with oat extract;
• Shampoo-care from dandruff with wheat extract;
• Shampoo-care with millet extract;
• A means for hair growth with rosemary;
• Oil, intended for weakened locks.

It is worth noting that not all women like organic brand Weleda. Shampoo reviews characterize the positive side, speaking exclusively about the natural composition, but the product is poorly foaming and, according to the sensations of some girls, is not washed off to the end with water.

Positive opinion has developed in many women about shampoo with millet extract containing also macadamia oil and sage extract. The buyers note the economical consumption, but in the composition there is still one component, which can cause allergy. The product is suitable for the owner of normal hair.

Care for the face

Controversial opinions can be found about any Weleda cream. The reviews emphasize that natural cosmetics is absorbed for a very long time and leaves a feeling of "film".

So, for the care of the face skin German brand produces:

• Cleansers (milk, refreshing tonic);
• Oil with almonds to remove make-up from the eyes;
• Eye cream (lifting and care);
• Day cream (seven kinds);
• Night cream (four types);
• lip balm;
• Tightening serum for the face.

The future mothers pay attention to such organic cosmetics. In the period of waiting for the baby you want to minimize the impact of harmful substances on the body. For this, Weleda face cream is the best.

Reviews are advised to pay attention to the "Iris" series, which presents funds for day and night care. As part of their jojoba oil, karite, cocoa, beeswax and root extract of iris. The ideal formula gives the skin velvety and softness, keeps the natural hydration and refreshes. Disadvantages: the small volume of the bottle and a rather high price.

For babies

No self-respecting cosmetic brand leaves the youngest consumers unattended. About the children's series Weleda reviews are presented in large numbers. Let's see what products kids liked and their parents.

Collecting bags for the maternity home is a very important occupation, and the first thing that should be inside is a diaper cream. To protect the delicate skin of the baby will help cream with calendula from Weleda. It is based on wax, lanolin and zinc oxide, which form a natural layer, preventing the appearance of irritation. Young mothers note the effectiveness in combating redness, economical consumption, pleasant herbal aroma and dense consistency.

In addition to calendula cream, the children's series include:

• Shampoo-gel for body and hair;
• Bathing milk;
• Toothpaste-gel;
• Cream with althea for hypersensitive skin;
• Oil for babies;
• Oil for massage of tummies;
• Face cream with calendula;
• Protective balm from cold and wind;
• Face cream with marshmallow.

Unlike other collections of Weleda, reviews about children's cosmetics are the best. German manufacturer is not inferior to other popular brands - Bubchen and Mustela.

Body care

Their first acquaintance with the brand Weleda women often begin with a line for care for the body, which includes:

• Shower gels;
• Deodorants;
• Vegetable soap;
• Body oils;
• Moisturizing milk;
• Means for the care of hands and feet.

To describe all cosmetic products is impossible, therefore we will tell only about the most remarkable.

Absolute favorites are excellent nourishing milk and toning shower gel with sea-buckthorn. Despite the presence of this bright orange berries, the fragrance of cosmetics has citrus notes. However, this does not spoil the impression.

A little disappointed girls and women hand cream "sea buckthorn" series. First of all, the composition in which alcohol is present is to blame. It turns out that the skin becomes dry, and does not get wet. In addition, the company is made up of various preservatives and a rather aggressive substance - glyceryl stearate SE.

Citrus freshness

Not many of us thought about the mechanism of the normal deodorant. Specialists draw our attention to the composition of antiperspirants, which are most often saturated with aluminum and its salts. It is these substances that reduce sweating due to narrowing of the pores. However, prolonged contact with aluminum derivatives is hazardous to health.

As an alternative to popular antiperspirants Weleda offers a unique cocktail of freshness and vivacity. Organic deodorant is produced in a safe (from an ecological point of view) glass packaging.

A real citrus breeze gives Weleda deodorant. Customer reviews indicate the natural composition, lack of sticky effect and traces on clothes. From the first seconds of application, there is a sharp smell of lemon and alcohol, but after a while there is only a pleasant aroma of citrus that brings together associations with the New Year.

It should be noted that this tool is not suitable for people with excessive sweating. Deodorant can be updated on the skin as needed. The disadvantages are uneconomical consumption and a heavy bottle, which is inconvenient to carry.

Disappointment

For girls and women of all ages, the problem of fighting cellulite is important. Its solution was presented by German scientists - it is a birch peeling for the shower and birch anti-cellulite oil. Fans of the company Weleda reviews about these two products left not the best because of the lack of the promised effect of the manufacturer.

The composition of birch oil includes wheat germ oil , extracts of young birch leaves and rosemary, essential oils of cypress and grapefruit, apricot and jojoba kernel oil. It smells nice and perfectly treats the skin.

The most disappointing customers of peeling, which because of too small particles resembles a cream shower gel.

According to the clinical studies of the manufacturer, after 28 days of use, a decrease in the level of the expression of cellulite, an increase in the elasticity, elasticity and smoothness of the skin. However, we do not recommend believing such promises.
