Discover where a brand or product originates
Weleda was founded in 1921 as a pioneer in natural cosmetics and anthroposophic pharmaceuticals. The brand was established by philosopher Rudolf Steiner alongside Dutch physician Ita Wegman and Swiss chemist Oskar Schmiedel. Its origins are deeply tied to Switzerland, where the headquarters remain today in Arlesheim.
Manufacturing for Weleda products is primarily centered in Germany, specifically at its extensive facility in Schwäbisch Gmünd, which is its largest production site. The company also maintains significant production and medicinal gardens in France and other global locations. Ownership of Weleda AG is unique; it is primarily held by the General Anthroposophical Society and the Arlesheim Clinic (Klinik Arlesheim), ensuring its independence from major beauty conglomerates and allowing it to maintain its mission-driven approach to sustainability and biodynamic farming.
