It’s the time of year to draw back your curtains, throw open the windows, let the fresh air in and get out the mop for the annual spring clean we all know so well. After you’re finished fluffing the pillows and sweeping under the sofa, don’t forget to clean out your beauty cabinet. Make sure it’s healthy for you and your family — meaning free of conventional skin-care products that contain potentially toxic chemical ingredients. Mounting evidence shows that many of these substances, including triclosan, phthalates and parabens, can alter our bodies’ healthy functioning and seep into the environment.
It’s the potential long-term effects of repeated exposure to these chemicals that are so concerning. Every morning, tens of millions of women apply 12 to 20 products to their skin, according to the Personal Care Product Council. The average American adult is exposed to more than 100 distinct chemicals every day through these very products. Given this volume, we have to at least wonder where these chemicals are going and what they are doing to our environment and us.
Weleda has been making plant-based, natural products since the 1920s — before the proliferation of manmade chemicals and back when the wonders of the world came from nature. Our founders, Dr. Rudolf Steiner and Dr. Ita Wegman, knew long ago that beauty and health come from pure, direct-from-nature vitamins and minerals. They took the time to note how plants reacted naturally to their environment and correlated those findings to how your skin and body could benefit from their use. This is a much different approach than forcing an ingredient to do what you want in a lab.

Weleda One-Step Cleanser & Toner is a refreshing, milky lotion for normal to combination skin that clarifies and perfects without over-drying. Perfect for those looking to simplify their facial-care routine, this rinse-off lotion works its deep-cleansing action with natural olive oil soap and tones with witch hazel extract – all in just one step. A fresh citrus fragrance, derived from pure essential oils, revives the skin and stimulates the senses. Your skin is left pure, fresh and perfectly prepared for the next step in your facial-care regimen – with our Iris Hydrating Facial Care, Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Care or Pomegranate Firming Facial Care.
