With great courage and commitment, the founders of Weleda started this company 100 years ago. They knew of the deep connection between people and nature. Since 1921 Weleda has been developing certified natural cosmetic and anthroposophical medicine based on this understanding. Weleda has been a pioneer of sustainability right from the start.
​
Weleda’s ancient name is derived from the Celtic tribes who called their wise, healing women “Weleda” or “Veleda”. These historically authentic priestesses were highly respected and were asked for council, their advice, and honored for their experience and wisdom. The logo of Weleda shows the staff of Asclepius, the symbol of the art of healing, surrounded by two figures. They symbolize the idea of giving and taking, of helping and receiving help, of reciprocity.
​
Today Weleda is the Nr.1 world’s producer of certified natural skincare and health products.
​
The quality begins with the plants grown in Weleda’s biodynamic gardens. Our gardeners work with nature’s own rhythms and intimately know every type of plant in the garden. From planting the first seed from our seed bank, nurturing the biodiversity of our soils, through to harvesting the crop by hand.
​
