Weleda wins 4 new ethical awards

Weleda are celebrating four coveted new awards this week! In the Ethical Living Health & Beauty Awards, a shortlist of 10 categories was drawn up by the editorial team and readers’ panel. Weleda won each of the 4 categories where they were shortlisted thanks to readers votes.

Ethical Living, the ethical lifestyle magazine, provides its readers with all the information they need to make a positive difference to the world around us. As well as thought provoking features on environmental and social matters, each issue of Ethical Living is crammed with ideas and inspiration to help readers develop their personal ethical style in all areas of life.

Best Skincare Product

Weleda Skin Food (75ml) scooped Best Skincare Product, making this the 10th award in the UK for this true beauty classic in the past two years alone! This impressive multi-tasker has proven to be unbeatable in all areas: from high fashion glossies through to trade journals and complementary health practitioner magazines. This product now enjoys a high profile following with dozens of beauty professionals, supermodels and screen goddesses amongst its fan club.

Ethical Living comments: “Thick, creamy, natural and heavily moisturising, this cream is a versatile winner. It leaves skin visibly brighter and moisturised with a cooling finish. It is a delight for hands, feet, lips, eczema and elbows! Very little is required and absorbs easily. Dry Skin? Trust us, you’ll love this product”.

Best Bath/Shower Product

Weleda’s new Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash (200ml) won Best Bath/Shower Product, building on its success in the 2010 Natural Health Beauty Awards earlier this year. This body wash has great eco credentials; it is formulated with organic, fair trade pomegranate oil together with genuinely natural cleansing agents made from sugar and coconut, which are quickly and entirely biodegradable and ecologically-sound even for aquatic life. Kind to skin, and kind to the planet.

Ethical Living comments: “A luxuriously cleansing and relaxing creamy body wash that will leave your skin invigorated and soft to touch. At the start of the day its infusion of pure essential oils of sandalwood, davana and neroli to stimulate senses, will leave you feeling indulgent, lavish and pampered”.

Best Baby Product

Weleda’s Calendula Nappy Change Cream (75ml) was awarded Best Baby Product, squeezing out of the limelight other well known products from Green People and Burts Bees. This award comes hot on the heals of the 2010 TIPS midwife-tested awards where Weleda’s nappy cream also won Best of the Best. Not surprisingly this unbeatable cream is Weleda’s no.1 selling product in the UK and has a huge following of mums and midwives, as well as a celebrity fan base of yummy mummies including Dannii Minogue.

Ethical Living comments: “Eco conscious mums with sore bottomed babies have been loving this product. Easy to use and quick at healing even the most angry nappy rash. But don’t just take our word for it, many mums and midwives (TIPS award) agree and the awards cabinet is already full” .

Best Overall Brand

Finally Weleda celebrated the Award for Best Overall Brand, beating other natural brands Lavera, Green People and Jason for this coveted prize!

Ethical Living comments: “Weleda – a star performer across the board with ranges for women, men and baby all receiving great praise from our readers. Ethical principles are deeply rooted in all aspects of the brand and each product delivers to the highest standard. Keep up the amazing work Weleda”.

Ethical Living’s editor Kim Marks enthused: “ I’ve always loved Weleda’s range and that our readers agree is no surprise! These awards are well deserved and I’m delighted for Weleda, a brand I know is led by principles and quality ”.

Weleda’s marketing manager Jayn Sterland was delighted, explaining: “These awards are fantastic news, because they are voted for by readers who are really discerning and can see beyond the greenwash of many of the big beauty brands. It’s great to know that Ethical Living readers appreciate what we are doing in terms of sustainability, ethics, naturalness. Weleda is about treading as lightly as possible on the earth, and feeling a responsibility towards our world. We don’t profess to be perfect, but we try hard and we’ve shown a genuine commitment for nine decades – we are always looking for new ways to go that little bit further”.
