Interested in learning more about natural and non-toxic personal care products for your skin? Then sign up for Weleda’s free twice-a-year magazine.
Weleda is a company that has been in the natural skin care business since 1921. Their products really do WORK - just read my review on Weleda’s Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care line or Weleda’s Sea Buckthorn line. And the company is always happy to teach everyone how all natural, plant based products are better for your skin and your health.
Weleda’s free magazine, WE, is either a print or email subscription (you choose) to a handy guide that has great tips on how to avoid toxins in your body care products, more information about Weleda’s products, and there’s usually some coupons in their, too! Even if you’re not sure if you want to try Weleda’s products, sign up. Past articles have included how to avoid toxins in your cosmetics, what ingredients to avoid in baby products and the benefits of bugs- great, general information that will help you with whatever you choose to buy.
And where else are you going to get a chocolate tart recipe that includes your body oil as an ingredient. Yes, seriously, Weleda’s products are that safe!
Trying to protect your children from harmful chemicals that can have negative health effects?
Chemicals used in industry and foods today aren’t tested for human safety, much less the safety of delicate newborns and developing kids.
If you wish you didn’t need to worry about everything that you buy, wondering if it has been proven safe or not, then take 5 seconds and sign this petition for the Kids-Safe Chemical Act. You only need to fill out your name, email and zipcode and hit send. Easy as can be, yet the rewards are tremendous.
The Kids-Safe Chemical Act would require that all chemicals be proven safe for children before they are sold. Simple and effective – yet Congress still needs to hear that you demand safer products for you and your children.
If you’ve never tried a pomegranate – now’s the time to try out this amazing fruit that tastes great and is packed with antioxidants. And if you’ve never tried pomegranates in your body care products, then you don’t know what you’re missing! This super fruit has amazing skin care properties – and they’re all harvested into the goodness of the Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Skin Care line.
I received a bottle of Weleda’s Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil, Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash, and Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream after discovering the skin nourishing benefits of Weleda’s Sea Buckthorn line - so, I thought, how could it get any better?
Well, let me tell you, you need to walk (or run very safely) to your nearest Target or Whole Foods or natural health food store or wherever you can get your hands on some of this stuff because it is outstanding!
Weleda’s Pomegranate line is proven effective at helping to prevent and reverse the premature signs of aging – such as dryness, decreased elasticity and age spots. And they can do this with 100% organic pomegranate seed oil and other all natural ingredients. Imagine, no chemicals needed to prevent the signs of aging. Pure Bliss!
I like how the packaging of Weleda’s Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil states it “Indulgently Firms and Renews.” They’re right on with that one. From the moment you open the box and see the cobalt blue glass bottle, and then pour some of the deliciously smelling oil into your hands, you’ll feel that, yeah, you’re protecting your skin, but you’re also indulging in a mini spa session at the same time! The body oil goes on rich, but blends into your skin extremely quickly (unlike many other body oils) so you’re not walking around like an oily grease spill waiting for the stuff to absorb. And there’s no mess or fuss in pouring out the oil, thanks to the no-drip cap, you don’t have a slimy bottle with oil running down the sides. And the oil is clinically proven to accelerate natural cell renewal by 50%!
The Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash is just that, too, a richly indulgent body wash that feels like cashmere on the skin but goes one step better by pampering your skin and giving it the nourishment that it needs. Not only works great as a body wash, but also as a shave cream, too, doing double duty in the shower.
And the Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream - well that’s good stuff, too. It increases the moisture in the skin on your hands by up to 34%, clinically proven to reduce roughness by 9%, I could go on and on but you get the point. These all natural body products are clinically proven to work, and do so safely.

Why It’s Better For Your Health: Applying all natural ingredients to your skin is much better than lathering up with synthetic chemicals, artificial preservatives and even petroleum byproducts. Your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you put on it, meaning those products then get into your bloodstream. What do you want being absorbed into your body?
And how many body care products can you actually cook with? Check out Weleda’s recipe for an Organic Chocolate Pomegranate Torte using their Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil as a secret ingredient.
Why It’s Better For the Earth: Weleda uses only 100% organically grown pomegranates – over 100,000 TONS of them each year. That’s preventing a whole lot of pesticides and chemical fertilizers from polluting the land and water by growing these plants organically, plus it protects all of those farm workers, too.
And it’s not just the pomegranates that are grown organically – many of Weleda’s ingredients for all of their lines are grown organically or even biodynamically (even better than organic!) I’d like to tour their gardens and farms just to see what kind of good stuff they’re growing.
EarthsBest has got your baby covered from head to toe, quite literally - their organic and Earth-friendly options include jarred baby foods, formulas, cereals and diapers and wipes.
I think their products are great – in fact, I eat the jarred baby foods as snacks as an easy on-the-go healthy food option. The pears and bananas are superb!

I’ve found EarthsBest products at Babies R Us, Publix, Target and other major retailers, as well as Whole Foods and natural health stores.
The average indoor air quality has been proven to be far worse than the air quality outside, according to the EPA. That’s because fumes and off-gassing chemicals from cleaning products, new furniture, paint, home decor and a host of other common every day products builds up in the air and then starts to negatively affect your health.
What can you do to breathe easier throughout the year?
- Open your windows and doors whenever possible. If the weather happens to be warm, throw open the windows and enjoy it, while at the same time letting toxic fumes escape your home.
- Install a new air filter. It’s important to regularly change air filters (about every 3 months) and purchase ultra allergen air filters, which will cost more but will capture more of the junk that’s floating through the air.
- Switch your household cleaners to non-toxic cleaners (such as Seventh Generation) to limit the amount of chemicals that build up in your home.
- Candles can contribute to poor indoor air quality. If you regularly burn candles, be sure that they are non-petroleum based (soy wax and beeswax candles are good bets) with an all cotton wick (others can contain lead which will seep into the air).
You can also check out this television clip where I explain how to improve indoor air quality.
