Make the right choices for your skin
Say goodbye to unnecessary get visible results!
The product Skin Food of the brand Weleda is primarily intended for dry, very dry, or dehydrated skin. Its rich and nourishing formula aims to restore the skin barrier, soothe discomfort, and protect against external aggressions. My expert opinion is that this product is in line with the tradition of repairing balms, with a dense texture suitable for particularly damaged or exposed areas (hands, elbows, feet, face in winter).
Formula Analysis: Key Assets
Three active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, the’sunflower oil, rich in essential fatty acids, promotes skin barrier repair and limits water loss. Next, the lanolin acts as a natural occlusive agent, creating a protective film that retains moisture and protects the skin from damage. Finally, the’wild pansy extract (Viola tricolor) has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, ideal for calming irritation. The combination of these active ingredients makes Skin Food remarkably effective on skin lacking comfort and suppleness.
Tips and Application Ritual
I recommend applying Weleda Skin Food morning and/or evening, as needed, to clean skin. Its rich texture makes it ideal for localized use or as a nourishing mask. It can be combined with light moisturizers, but it is best to avoid immediate combination with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (fruit acids, retinoids) to limit the risk of irritation. Compatible with most routines, it can easily be incorporated into SOS skincare.
My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion
The strengths of Skin Food lie in its richness and its ability to quickly repair and soothe dry skin. Its natural formula and plant extracts are definite pluses. One downside: the very thick texture may not be suitable for all uses, and the presence of fragrance and natural allergens must be taken into account for sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an essential skincare product for distressed skin, to be used as a treatment or for maintenance.

Cream a little greasy
A slightly oily cream, ideal for dry skin

a must-have
I love this cream, the one I've bought most again and again. Perfect for chapped lips, perfect for all damaged, hyper-dry areas. Great for breasts, which can be painful with breastfeeding.
I use it as a thin layer on the face when it's very, very cold, and as it's oily, it forms a protective barrier.
I'm never in a tube.

Still in my bathroom
I've been using this cream for several years and it still has a place in my bathroom.
However, it takes a little practice to learn how to use it correctly. Its texture is very thick, so you need to take time to massage it into the skin. It is best used as a mask, ideal for regenerating the skin in dry conditions and during harsh winters.
