Our take
Why We Trust This Brand
Weleda is controlled by a foundation and society rather than a corporation or investor group, and only non-voting participation certificates trade publicly, which is a structural shield against takeover. It is NATRUE-certified natural and a certified B Corp, with a century of natural and biodynamic sourcing behind it.
