Almond Care from Weleda

Weleda, a German favourite among many beauty enthusiasts, who appreciate quality and amazing performance. Weleda is not that kind of beauty brand, which instantly steals the show with packaging but rather slowly waiting for it's turn. It will not be your one night stand and it will not leave you disappointed. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Oppose to mind blowing textures and superb quality, Weleda is also natural organic, cruelty free, mostly vegan, biodynamic, whereas toxins, additives and mineral oil just won't do. It looks after the well-being of our planet and people and opts for fair-trade and holistic approach to fulfil your body and soul. Easily said, you can safely indulge into Weleda world, starting with their new Almond bodycare line that smells like a creamy marzipan...

Weleda, nemška kozmetična ljubljenka, je dobro poznana kot negovalna kozmetika mnogoterim lepotnim navdušencem in mojstrom ličenja. Weleda nikakor ni tista vrsta znamke, ki takoj pritegne poglede z bahavo embalažo. Nasprotno, le-ta mirno čaka na svojo priložnost. Weleda ne bo muha enodnevnica, niti vas ne bo pustila razočarane. Sliši se kot odličen partner za nežno kožo, kar tudi je, z odličnimi teksturami in krasno kvaliteto. Če vam na hitro predstavim novo ljubljenko vaše kože, je Weleda naravno organska, večinoma veganska, biodinamična znamka, ki ne testira na živalih. Obenem si prizadeva za dobro planeta, s pravično trgovino pridobiva sestavine in holistično poskrbi za telo in duha. Toksini, mineralna olja, aditivi ne bodo nikoli zadovoljivi. Enostavno povedano, Weledi se lahko v celoti prepustite brez skrbi.

Almond Body Care line or should I say Mandel Pflege, is an extension of previously released Almond Face Care. It's exactly what I would call a marizpan dream as it has a true almond scent that's not overpowering or sickly sweet but rather a mild neutral version for everyone's taste. Almond line combines only the best out of one nutty almond world. Firstly, formula is extremely nourishing and rich to protect your skin from damage. Almond is also a miracle worker for all sensitive skin types as it nourishes and protects like it's shell (also the base for almond oil) protects almond core. Which actually doesn't mean that the textures are super heavy but they are light, comfortable and easily absorbed. I should also note that Almond skincare cares for balanced pH and it's perfect for those of you, who are sensitive to all kinds of skincare ingredients.

Mandelj linija za občutljivo kožo je novejši podaljšek že obstoječe Mandelj linije za obraz. Je točno to, kar bi lahko poimenovali marcipanove sanje, saj izdelki nimajo prisiljenega vonja, ampak poskrbijo za bolj zemeljski pridih mandlja. Ni presladek, ni premočan, ravno dovolj subtilen in nežen za občutljivo kožo. Mandelj linija zajema najboljše iz sveta oreščkov, saj je mandljevo olje poznano po negovalnih učinkih in lahki teksturi. Obenem Mandljeva linija obvaruje vašo kožo, kakor mandljeva lupina (iz katere nastane tudi 40-60% samega mandljevega olja) obvaruje jedrce. Je tudi pravi mali čudež za občutljivo kožo, katera takoj reagira na močne kemikalije in sestavine. Kljub temu, da je baza izdelkov mandljevo olje, še ne pomeni da je tekstura Mandljeve linije težka in neudobna. Nasprotno, sama sem bila presenečena nad lahkimi teksturami, ki se vpijejo v nekaj sekundah, a hkrati pustijo negovalen sloj lahkega, mandljevega olja. Obenem ne smem pozabiti omeniti, da Weleda ne spremeni pH ravnovesja v koži. 

Almond Sensitive Skin Hand Cream (50ml for 7,60-14,03€, also online) in particular, seems to be efficient but extra light in texture, which makes it perfect for daily activities without greasy leftover. Almond scent is just a step away from being perfectly balanced for all - those, hungry for marizpan scents, and those, who are extra sensitive to scents. In this festive time of year, due to easily absorbed formula with almond oil, you won't be experiencing any cookie crumbs sticking to your fingers. Scent lingers for about an hour and you will absolutely fall in love with the first touch.

Mandelj Krema za roke za občutljivo kožo (50ml at 7,60€, v drogerijah in na spletu) je prva stvar, ki se mi je takoj priljubila. Pri kremah za roke takoj opazim teksturo - ali je znosna ali pač ni za nobeno uporabo. Dejansko sem bila presenečena nad lahkotno teksturo, ki se takoj vpije v kožo, obenem pa ni zategovanja kože na rokah. Ne pusti mastnega sloja, hkrati pa je koža olajšana. Tudi sam vonj mandlja ali marcipana ni daleč od popolnega ravnovesja, saj poteši željo po marcipanu, hkrati pa je vonj dovolj nevtralen za vse uporabnike. Vonj se malce zadrži a tudi hitro izgine. V tem prazničnem času ste lahko prepričani, da se drobtinice piškotov ne bodo lepile na vaše prstke.

Almond Sensitive Skin Body Wash (200ml for 8,08-11,21€, also online) has a true, creamy white consistency with a bit more softer and cleaner almond scent. The true success hides in the final result: skin feels soft, subtle and without any traces of skin dryness. It's perfect, maybe not in the scent department if you're opting for strong scents, but truly helps with dry and sensitive skin. I could easily recommend this body wash for babies too. It also contains a fair share of almond oil. It's creamy and velvety but slowly transforms into a mild foam when rinsing.

Mandelj Losjon za prhanje za občutljivo kožo (200ml za 8,08€, v drogerijah in na spletu) resnično preseneti z nenavadno, losjon teksturo, ki je na občutek zelo mehka. Vonj je sicer nežen, skoraj neznatno mandljev s kančkom vonja po bombažu. Vonj nikakor ni glavni atribut, sploh če uživate v močnejših vonjih. Kar me je najbolj pritegnilo pri celotnem konceptu, je vlažilen občutek po samem prhanju. Suhe kože ne zateguje, hkrati pa z žametno teksturo poskrbi za svilnato izkušnjo. Popolnoma lahko priporočam Losjon za prhanje vsem z občutljivo in suho kožo, saj prav tako vsebuje nekaj mandljevega olja. Losjon je kremen, žameten in se spremeni v nežno peno po izpiranju.

Almond Sensitive Skin Body Lotion (200ml for 16,22-19,67€, also online) has a lighter consistency than their hand cream, but that doesn't mean it's less efficient. In terms of texture, is pretty much what I would call a true lotion. Spreads super easy, it's light and comfortable yet it leaves almost an oily residue. It's hard to explain but in no where bothering or unpleasant to the skin. It's not something you don't feel after half an hour but retains nourishing effect entire day. Again, scent is not as strong as with hand cream but barely noticeable after application. Due to light, easy to spread texture, this will last for a month or two of regular use.

Mandelj Negovalni losjon za telo za občutljivo kožo (200ml za 16,22€, v drogerijah in na spletu) ima vsekakor še lažjo teksturo kot Krema za roke. Kljub skoraj tekoči formuli, losjon zadostno vlaži kožo, opazila pa sem tudi nemoteč sloj po sami absorbciji kreme. Le-ta občutek negovane kože se ohrani čez cel dan. Ker je Negovalni losjon tako redek a učinkovit, bo zagotovo zadostoval za mesec ali dva redne uporabe. Vonj je znova zelo nevsiljivo podoben mandlju in hkrati čist, a ponikne skupaj z losjonom. Losjon je enostaven za uporabo in primeren tudi za jutranji nanos pred vsakodnevnimi opravili. 

All in all, who can resist sweet baby pink packaging and almond/marzipan scent? The main card is actually within Weleda line: non-greasy and non-sticky texture that soothes sensitive skin. I wouldn't call myself as a particularly sensitive but it's a nice breath of fresh air after trying tons of highly fragrant bodycare. Safe skincare is also not a factor to be forgotten. I also need to bring out one more thing around natural organic cosmetics in general. We've probably all been there, where natural brands usually release a fairly rotten citrusy scents or utterly unpleasant textures - I'm talking in general. With Weleda, there's only top notch quality and lovely textures with soothing scents. You can find Weleda worldwide, in bio stores, drugstores or pharmacies. It's also sold online on Feelunique with a bit higher prices.

Le katera se lahko upre svetlo roza barvi in vonju mandlja? Univerzalna kombinacija, ki bo všeč vsaki ženski. Vsekakor pa ni to zmagovalna karta Welede, ampak polaga vse upe v koncept, kvaliteto in čudovite teksture izdelkov. Formula Mandljeve linije je nelepljiva in nemastna, obenem pa čudovito pomirja in neguje občutljivo kožo. Sama se sicer ne bi opredelila kot občutljiv tip kože, je pa Weleda vsekakor svež veter v moji veliki zbirki preveč dišečih in umetnih izdelkov za telo. Zdrava in varna negovalna kozmetika je prav tako vrlina Welede. Mogoče bi še opozorila na samo primerjavo z ostalo naravno kozmetiko. Namreč, ne dvomim da je tudi katera od vas že imela neprijetne izkušnje z naravno kozmetiko. Generalno, sem sama največkrat opazila zelo neprijeten, ponavljajoč vonj po zelo dozorelih citrusih ali pa se je izdelek svaljkal na moji koži. Tega pri Weledi ni, saj resnično meša kvaliteto z lepimi teksturami, kar lahko potrdi moje zgornje navdušenje. Na dlani še imam nekaj Weleda izdelkov za vas (kultno Skinfood in dnevno kremo Vrtnica), obenem pa se moja Weleda lista želja vedno bolj veča. Weleda izdelke lahko najdete v večjih trgovinah, bioloških trgovinah, lekarnah, na spletni trgovini Tamaschi in vseh DM in Muller drogerijah. Naj vas opozorim tudi na trenutne DM Bone ugodnosti za naravno kozmetiko, kjer lahko dobite -50% kartonček na vse tri Weleda izdelke do 12.12.2015.
