A short history: roots in a different kind of medicine Weleda’s story begins in the early 1920s, at the intersection of natural medicine, philosophy, and a desire to make products that respect both people and the earth. The company’s foundations were influenced by anthroposophic thinking and early collaborations among practitioners such as Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman. From these roots grew laboratories and small-scale manufacturing that eventually became the Weleda brand we know today. Wikipedia+1 Skin Food, the green-tubed hero, traces its lineage back to the 1920s and — according to Weleda’s product history — the formula we celebrate today has been in use since 1926. That means Skin Food has served as a reliable, plant-rich balm for almost a century, earning a place in medicine cabinets, makeup bags, and culture.  Why we celebrate the original formula (and won’t change it) There’s something rare and reassuring about a product whose formula remains constant while the world around it changes. Skin Food’s staying power comes from: So when we mark Skin Food’s 101st anniversary, we do so by honoring the original recipe — celebrating the formulation that has been meaningful to so many — not by altering it. The key ingredients that make Skin Food special Here are the core botanical players that give Skin Food its characteristic rich, soothing effect (language adapted for readers; ingredient lists should be checked on current packaging for regulatory precision): Together these ingredients create a product that’s multi-use (hands, elbows, feet, face in small amounts) and loved for its texture and efficacy. Weleda’s standards and sustainability commitments Part of Skin Food’s longevity comes from Weleda’s larger commitment to natural standards and responsible sourcing. Today, Weleda highlights that its cosmetics are certified natural personal care products, free from microplastics, GMOs, and petroleum-derived ingredients. The brand also pursues recognized certifications and ethical business practices, which reinforces consumer confidence in Skin Food’s authenticity.  (Transparency note: brands with long histories sometimes face difficult chapters in their past; modern consumers also value open archival work and accountability. Weleda’s published heritage pages and corporate information are part of that public conversation.)  How to celebrate 101 years on your blog and social channels (without changing the formula) If you’re publishing this feature for an audience — shoppers, beauty fans, or community members — here are practical, on-brand celebration ideas that honor the product and its history.
