Weleda Wild Rose Day Cream


Review of Weleda Wild Rose Day Cream
By Kathryn H.

Packaging.
The Weleda Wild Rose day cream came in an appropriately pink coloured tube. However, the tube is made from metal which can split causing the contents leak out and like wise the contents could become contaminated with bacteria via this route. When the tub does split it can be quite sharp.

Application
The Weleda rose day cream was cream coloured and had a beautiful aroma of rose musk. The consistency was quite light for a cream, however, it moisturised like a cream without leaving a greasy feel, thus providing a perfect base layer for make up.

Ingredients
The ingredients are good enough to eat! They are 100% natural grown from either from Biodynamic or organic methods. Weleda provide a good range of ethically sourced products at very reasonable prices. This moisturiser in particular contains clinically proven ant aging ingredients such as Rosa Moscheta seed oil without the expensive price tag. It also contains other skin friendly oils rich in fatty acids which are perfect for stressed skin. The Weleda rose cream contains a small amount of essential oils which some people may find irritating. However, they are bergaptene free and not considered phototoxic. The Weleda range holds both the Demeter Certification and BDIH ‘Certified Natural Cosmetics’ kite mark which I found quite reassuring.

Results
I feel that this Weleda product is a great maintenance and prevention product as I did not notice any significant changes to my skin. This is a dream to use and left my skin feeling moisturized, fresh and less crepe like. I do get dermatitis and found that this moisturiser was both none irritating and soothing, and did not provoke any flair ups.

Pros
-Good value
-Smells beautiful
-Feels great on the skin and good as a make up base.
-Good maintenance cream for normal combination skin from 30 years+ and dry summer skin.

Cons
-Fiddly tube
-May not provide enough moisture for dry skin in the winter months; however this could also depend on what sought of cleanser and toner one might use in conjunction.
