Weleda's award-winning, best-selling Skin Food series has several variants and is very good for normal to dry skin.
SKIN FOOD ORIGINAL
Skin Food is an award-winning universal cream with a unique blend of natural herbal extracts and plant oils. One of Weleda's oldest and best-selling products and a "must-have" item. The cream provides intensive care for dry skin. It helps the skin strengthen and rebuild its protective barrier while softening and nourishing the skin. It is an all-purpose cream that can be used all over the body.
SKIN FOOD LIGHT
Skin Food Light is a lighter version of Skin Food. A cream that is thinner in its formulation than the original. It absorbs immediately into the skin and prevents moisture loss. The cream then stays on the skin, protecting it without feeling sticky. Skin Food Light leaves a matte finish on the skin. This lotion has a lovely scent of fresh orange and citrus balanced with calming lavender. The scent does not linger long.
Comparison: If you find Skin Food too sticky during the day on, for example, hands and face, Light is the right choice. Skin Food, on the other hand, is preferable for cracks and wounds on the skin that won’t heal.
SKIN FOOD BODY BUTTER
Skin Food Body Butter is a wonderfully creamy body butter that gives dry skin intensive moisture and care. This body butter is not like whipped shea butter. The texture is fine, more nourishing, and smooth. It neither feels sticky nor oily, just as we want a body butter to be. The skin immediately becomes soft, gains a beautiful glow with a mild and delicious scent of orange and lavender. The scent does not linger long and almost feels fragrance-free after a while. Sensitive noses may detect a faint scent of cocoa and orange. Skin Food Body Butter is free from beeswax and lanolin and is therefore vegan-friendly.
Comparison: For those who like to mix a dollop of Skin Food into their body lotion, this body butter is a dream. It gives a beautiful glow to the whole body. Can be used on the face as a day or night cream if very dry. Since Skin Food contains lanolin and zinc, it is better suited for cracked skin. Body Butter is a luxurious experience for really dry skin.
SKIN FOOD LIP BALM
Skin Food Lip Balm is a creamy lip balm that cares for and adds shine to dry, cracked, and chapped lips. It nourishes the lips, protects them from drying out, and makes them soft and supple again. This is largely thanks to the lanolin. Skin Food Lip Balm is easy to apply and feels comfortable on the lips all day without a sticky feeling! The texture is silky smooth and the lips feel luxuriously soft immediately. This lip balm is free from castor oil.
Comparison: Lip balm does not leave a white film like Skin Food does. Those who like Skin Food on their lips will love this lip version. Keep in mind that Lip Balm is zinc-free. Therefore, Skin Food is preferable for cold sores and similar conditions.
