Weleda Skin Food Body Butter 150ml
The Skin Food formula in a rich body butter. Shea butter, cocoa butter, and sunflower seed oil with the iconic Skin Food botanical blend of pansy, calendula, chamomile, and rosemary. Vegan-friendly. NATRUE certified. Made in Germany.
Weleda Skin Food Body Butter takes the four botanical plant extracts at the heart of every Skin Food product - wild pansy, calendula, chamomile, and rosemary - and delivers them in a body butter format built on shea butter and cocoa seed butter rather than the lanolin and beeswax base of the original Skin Food cream. The result is a vegan-friendly alternative that has the same deep nourishing character but a slightly different texture - rich and buttery rather than thick and ointment-like, with a finish that absorbs into the skin more readily.
The sunflower seed oil base provides the same skin-compatible fatty acid profile as the classic Skin Food. The shea and cocoa butter combination gives a luxurious, melt-on-skin texture ideal for larger body areas - legs, arms, and torso - where the original cream’s thick consistency would require more product and more effort to spread.
150ml, NATRUE certified natural cosmetic, free from synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, mineral oil, and paraffin. Made in Germany by Weleda AG.

Why Santos Organics
Santos has been the Northern Rivers’ organic food shop since 1978. As a not-for-profit social enterprise, every purchase supports our work in community food systems, environmental advocacy, and the Grow the Growers project. We stock Weleda because a certified natural cosmetic brand making the same clean formulas since 1926 is exactly what our shelves were built for.
Santos Organics is not your average grocery store; it's a not-for-profit social enterprise and environmental charity. Since 1978, we've pioneered the organic wholefood movement. Our stores serve as community hubs where people connect with our team and fellow community members, sharing a journey toward optimal health and wellness. The palpable sense of community forms part of the social and cultural fabric of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers. Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.
Santos Organics makes conscious shopping easy by sourcing the best organic food and natural lifestyle products. We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.
Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy. Over the last three years, our investments in local employment, goods from local suppliers and distributors, rent, and hiring local tradespeople have retained over $26 million within the Northern Rivers. In the past year alone, $5.3 million was circulated back into the local economy through these efforts, supporting over 100 Northern Rivers-based suppliers and distributors. This investment sustains our community's vitality and unique culture. Employing over 70 local team members ensures money stays within the local economy, enhancing opportunities for community interaction and support. Our local suppliers share our vision of promoting creative, sustainable, and healthy product development, strengthening the reputation of the Byron Bay region as a hub for innovation and sustainability.
