It’s impressive that way back in 1921 Weleda’s founders met with Rudolf Steiner, a pioneer in biodynamic farming, and together, essentially planted the seeds for what they are today — an organic, holistic-based, international skin care company. Over the years, Weleda has an established tradition of working in harmony with nature to create some of the most pure and natural personal care products available anywhere.
A few weeks ago, Weleda asked if I’d like to try their new Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care; I was all for it.
As you may already know, pomegranate is an antioxidant, dermatologically tested and proven to increase skin smoothness, moisture levels and accelerate skin renewal. I’ve enjoyed using this exciting new line for the past couple of weeks. The products pack a lot of punch, penetrating and energizing the skin without leaving an oily residue – here’s my experience, by product:
Creamy Body Wash - I applied this rich and creamy wash with a soft loofah to derive exfoliating benefits - as with all 3 products, a little goes a long way. There’s a faint, pleasant aroma, (a blend of essential oils — vanilla, sandalwood, blood orange and neroli) — but nothing overpowering. It leaves my skin clean and moisturized, with a wonderfully smooth texture. ($18, 7.2 oz)
Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil – My body drinks this like a cocktail. I love it. It’s a heady mix of organic seed oils: pomegranate, jojoba, sesame, sunflower, wheat germ and macadamia that leaves my skin beautifully quenched.
($28, 3.4 fl oz)
Pomegranate Hand Cream – This hand cream feels luxurious and therapeutic. It’s revived my dry hands, bringing back a soft and smooth texture that’s been for missing a long time. According to tests, it reduces roughness by 9.1% when used twice daily for four weeks and helps increase the moisture levels in the skin by up to 34% over four weeks. ($12.50, 1.7 oz)
The line is just rolling out, and currently available at Whole Foods as well as some specialty retailers. It’s also available online @ www.weleda.com. As part of the launch they’re running an online special: buy a full-size Pomegranate product and receive a travel-size Pomegranate Creamy Body wash for free. Just enter promo code: POMO9 at checkout. Aptly named Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care, we’re happy to give this powerful line our Tried and True, Green Products Review green thumbs up.
