Weleda Skin Food Original 75ml is the iconic green tube that has been nourishing dry skin since 1926. Rich, thick and wonderfully concentrated, this multi-purpose natural moisturiser provides intensive care for very dry, rough skin on the face and body. Whether your hands are feeling the effects of constant washing, your heels need extra attention or your face needs a richer moisturiser, Skin Food is a versatile addition to your skincare collection.
Made with nourishing sunflower seed oil, sweet almond oil, beeswax and lanolin, the cream helps soften skin and support its natural protective barrier. Botanical extracts of wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and rosemary complete the formulation, while the distinctive fragrance combines sweet orange, aromatic lavender and warm vanilla-like notes.
One Rich Cream, So Many Uses
One of the reasons Weleda Skin Food has remained popular for a century is its versatility. The thick, concentrated texture makes it particularly appealing when a regular body lotion feels too light.
Use it on dry hands and cuticles, massage a little into rough elbows and knees, or apply to heels and feet as part of your evening routine. It can also be used as a rich facial moisturiser, especially when your skin feels dry or you'd like a more dewy finish.
For makeup preparation, warm a small amount between your fingers and smooth it over dry areas before applying your makeup. The rich texture helps create a soft, moisturised base with a naturally radiant appearance.
Original Skin Food vs Skin Food Light
The biggest difference between Original Skin Food and Weleda Skin Food Light 75ml is the texture. Original is thicker, richer and particularly well suited to very dry skin and targeted areas. Skin Food Light is softer, easier to spread and absorbs more quickly, making it a popular choice for everyday face and body moisturising.
If you enjoy substantial, nourishing creams, Original Skin Food is the one to reach for. If you prefer something lighter under makeup or during warmer weather, Skin Food Light may be a better match.
A Century of Skin Food
First introduced in 1926, Skin Food has become one of the best-known products in the Weleda Australia collection. Its distinctive formula has developed a loyal following among skincare enthusiasts, makeup artists and people who simply appreciate a reliable multi-purpose moisturiser.
Today, the original cream is part of the wider Weleda Skin Food range, which includes lighter face and body moisturisers, body butter, lip care and dedicated facial skincare. This 75ml tube is a convenient full-size option for keeping at home or reaching for whenever your skin needs a little extra nourishment.

Warm a small amount of Weleda Skin Food Original between your fingers or palms to soften the rich cream, then gently massage into dry skin.
Apply to hands, cuticles, elbows, knees, heels and other areas that need concentrated moisture. For facial use, start with a small amount and spread over dry areas, adding more as needed.
For an intensive overnight moisturising treatment, apply a slightly more generous layer to dry hands or feet before bed. Skin Food can also be used sparingly before makeup for a soft, dewy finish.
Use morning or evening, as often as your skin needs.

Both contain the signature botanical extracts of pansy, chamomile and calendula.

Is Weleda Skin Food Original vegan?
No. The Original Skin Food formula contains beeswax and lanolin, which is derived from sheep's wool. It is a natural moisturiser but not a vegan formulation.
