Discovered centuries ago in La Roche-Posay, France, the Thermal Spring Water, an essential ingredient at the origin of the brand, has been recognized by the scientific community for it’s healing and protecting virtues thanks to its rich concentration of Selenium, a natural powerful antioxidant.
These unique virtues are exploited in the La Roche-Posay Thermal center, the first European center of thermal dermatology, in the treatment of dermatological disorders such as eczema, psoriasis and severe skin burns.

Deep-rooted in this dermatological heritage, La Roche-Posay skincare products are developed according to a strict formulation charter that guarantees optimal safety and efficacy. Their products are:

• Highly concentrated with dermatological active ingredients
• With soothing anti-oxidant thermal spring water
• Tested on sensitive skin
• With packaging designed to minimize possible contamination
• Quality guaranteed by use-by date.

They make sure that these criteria are met by strictly testing their products with some of the industry’s most demanding protocols. Today, La Roche-Posay is recommended by over 25,000 dermatologists worldwide and sold in over 50 countries.

It all goes back to 1921 and something called anthroposophy. This movement, stemming from the teachings of philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner, encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind and spirit as intrinsically linked to our world; all part of one holistic system.

And so Steiner, along with Dr. Ita Wegman, got together with a team of dedicated scientists and doctors to determine just how they might use this philosophy to take care of their patients’ needs. They understood that a human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, but sometimes it needs a little help. So they developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that can holistically work with and support our own body’s healing tendencies.

They started by creating one of the world’s first Biodynamic^® gardens to grow what they needed. Sound new agey? It’s actually old agey—what cultures around the world have done successfully for generations.

It was successful for the founders too.

Patients were healed, wellness and balance were restored to them, and never once was a synthetic chemical or lab-made preservative used in the process.

The company’s new name couldn’t have been more appropriate: Weleda, after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing.

Soon, word got around about the innovative, effective work Weleda was doing and the company spread from Switzerland to Germany and into North America and the world. Today they are proud to have offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries.

And yet despite their success, not a whole lot has changed. They still cultivate their own Biodynamic^®gardens. They still believe natural ingredients truly provide what a body needs to be vibrant, beautiful and well. They still put the health and well-being of you above all else.

And they continue to grow, spreading their passion for beauty, wellness and environmental respect around the world.
