Non-toxic
Formulated from excellent non-toxic, mostly organic or biodynamic (which are organic and then have to pass even stricter protocols!) ingredients. Contains organic sesame and almond oils and organic calendula flower extract.*
*This product contains almond and sesame seed oil. If you have a baby/child with a high risk of a food allergy or eczema, it is not recommended to use this product until they are eating these foods in their diet and show no allergy. Studies have shown a link between the application of a potential food allergen repeatedly onto the skin and food allergen sensitisation. This increases the potential for severe food allergic reactions when the food is actually eaten. This is especially relevant for a child with a high risk of food allergy and also those with eczema.

What our experts say...
With minimal packaging, the wash is beautiful and creamy with a lovely subtle scent. I think the packaging was pretty too and would stand out on the shelf in the store. I also liked how after bath time a slight scent lingered, once the little babe was dry, a soothing scent to drift off to sleep to.
I love that they strive to create fair conditions for the people who work with the earth and harvest the plants and being a farmer, I also appreciate that they support Carbon8 to help transition Aussie farmers to regenerative agriculture and support them to rebuild the carbon (organic matter) in their soil from 1% to 8%.

Great smell and gentle formula. Love how it lathers up on baby’s hair. The brand has done incredible work in implementing sustainable practices for sourcing ingredients and lovely to see the initiatives to fight climate change.

Creamy, gentle and subtly scented with safe organic essential oils. I love how it is mild and moisturising, however, can still cut through grease from a dinner-covered child!

I will always be a no. 1 fan of this product – it’s the only shampoo/wash that my son could tolerate (he had a very dry scalp) when he was an infant, and I continue to use it on both my children to this day. Gentle, nourishing and a wonderful option for dermatitis / dry skin sufferers.
As a global skincare brand, Weleda has set a high standard by embracing organic farming, waste reduction (through production), renewable energy and big efforts to combat climate change.
