Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil is the oil derived from the seeds of a Sunflower. Sunflower seed oil is non-fragrant. It is an emollient, meaning it helps to soften the skin.
Sunflower seed oil contains many fatty acids. The fatty acids found in sunflower seeds include (from highest amount to least): linoleic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid.
These fatty acids help the skin create ceramides. Ceramides play a role in repairing the skin barrier.
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil helps moisturize the skin. This in turn helps the skin look more rejuvenated and smoother.
Sunflowers are rich in vitamin E.
Historians believe Indigenous cultures of North America domesticated sunflowers before corn. Thus they relied on sunflower oil for a variety of uses. One such use is moisturizing skin and hair.
Sunflower seed oil may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream 29 ingredients
I think this is the best product I’ve used for dry skin! I have combination skin that tends to go dry depending on the climate. I usually apply it to the areas where my skin gets dry, and it did wonders for me! The only downside is the strong smell.
I have super sensitive skin that has been getting dry with Differin use. This is the perfect night cream as the last step of my routine. I wake up with baby smooth, moisturised skin and my breakouts are minimised. I also love the smell!
