Weleda Inc.

Weleda combines natural personal care, homeopathic medicines, and dietary supplements with product development informed by anthroposophic ideas that connect human health and nature. Its skin care portfolio uses plant oils, natural extracts, and essential oils, and includes the Skin Food family, established in 1926, alongside calendula-based baby and body care. The company researches and develops NATRUE-certified natural personal care products and homeopathic medicines, using botanical ingredients such as pomegranate, maca root peptides, and calendula. Production emphasizes gentle handling of plant materials, including water vapor distillation to obtain delicate essential oils from lavender blossoms.

Commercial production began in 1921, following the acquisition of the Laboratorium at the Goetheanum in Switzerland and the start of manufacturing in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The business now operates through subsidiaries in 20 markets and distributes its homeopathic medicines, dietary supplements, and natural personal care products in more than 50 markets. It sources botanical raw materials globally under ethical supply chain criteria and cultivates plants in six Weleda gardens according to biodynamic farming principles. B Corp certification reinforces its governance of social and environmental performance, while NATRUE certification applies independent review of formulations, ingredients, and production facilities.
