“WELEDA is a great brand that has always been true to its natural, ethical, and sustainable values without chasing after short-lived trends – I admire that greatly, and I especially love Skin Food. My own brand has also always remained true to its core principles, so it means a lot to me to work with a company that shows integrity and consistency can go hand in hand,” said designer Stella McCartney.
100 Years of WELEDA Skin Food Family
Introduced in 1926, Skin Food is one of the few care products that has remained relevant for over a century. Originally developed as an intensely nourishing cream for dry and stressed skin, it has become an internationally appreciated classic, established among make-up artists, models, and personalities from fashion and culture – from the runway to the front row. The formula with pansy, calendula, chamomile, rosemary, and sunflower oil provides intensive care and gives the skin the characteristic Skin Food glow.
Shared Values: Sustainability and Responsibility
The collaboration with Stella McCartney highlights both brands’ shared stance: responsible actions, innovative approaches, and a clear commitment to sustainability. Stella McCartney has long been known for cruelty-free luxury fashion and the use of sustainable materials, while WELEDA, with its NATRUE-certified natural cosmetics, focuses on natural, organically grown ingredients. The packaging of the WELEDA Skin Food Family is also designed to be recyclable.
“Skin Food has accompanied generations for 100 years and is still an essential companion for many make-up artists. It is special to celebrate this anniversary at Paris Fashion Week with Stella McCartney and to show how well sustainable fashion and natural cosmetics complement each other,” said Tina Müller, CEO of WELEDA.
The cooperation between WELEDA and Stella McCartney, in the anniversary year of the WELEDA Skin Food Family, focuses on a product that stands for consistency, relevance, and natural beauty.
