8 Reasons to Love Our Sea Buckthorn
Some of my favorite Weleda products for summer are our Sea Buckthorn Body Oil, Hand Cream, Body Lotion and Creamy Body Wash. Here are eight reasons why I love sea buckthorn and hope you will, too! 1. It’s a super superfruit. Sea buckthorn is scientifically reputed to contain a rich cocktail of antioxidants and health benefits. Its golden-red pulp and seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and pro-vitamin A and vitamin E. The juice contains among the highest amounts of vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable, including oranges and lemons! 2. It’s Biodynamic®. The sea buckthorn we use is grown in Tuscany by a farmer,...

Stay Well Tips From Our Compounding Pharmacy
Fall arrived in earnest here in the Northeast. Most of the trees have already dropped their leaves, and nature seems to be winding down for a period of rest. This is very much in contrast with all the activity in our compounding pharmacy, which is located in the very same building as our North American headquarters in Palisades, NY. During late fall and winter, we receive many prescriptions for our homeopathic cold and flu remedies. A product that is frequently ordered  is our Eucalyptus/Archangelica comp ointment. This homeopathic ointment is suitable for both children and adults. Applied to the chest and back, it helps with chest congestion and...

Ingredient Spotlight: Organic Sweet Almond Oil
The taste of sweet almond stirs up all kinds of memories; it makes me think of fall, of long walks in the park, colored leaves, a cup of tea, of a cozy fireplace and the taste of homemade cookies. Definitely, the almond is fall’s child. Weleda’s organic sweet almond is grown in the hills of a Valencian community close to Alicante, Spain. In this warm climate, the almond trees are pampered by sunshine all year long. In spring, the sweet almond trees blossom, in shades of white and pink, and by fall, when it’s starting to get colder outside, the sweet almond nuts are shaken from the trees and left on the ground to dry. Before winter...
