Description
Weleda Baby Derma Face Cream White Mallow Fragrance Free is formulated specifically for highly sensitive, very dry skin on babies and young children. Weleda's own claim for it is direct: it nourishes and relieves itching from dryness. It comes in a 50ml tube.
A more targeted formula
This isn't a general, everyday baby cream. It sits in Weleda's Derma range, positioned for very dry, easily irritated skin rather than routine daily moisturising. The formula carries the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance, alongside Weleda's Certified Natural Skin Care mark and organic ingredient certification.
What's in the tube
The ingredient list is more involved than a simple moisturiser, built around:
- Coconut oil, sesame seed oil and sweet almond oil, as the core emollient base
- Beeswax, for a light protective layer
- Borage seed oil and safflower seed oil, both included for their fatty acid content
- Althaea officinalis (white mallow) root extract, the headline soothing ingredient
- Viola tricolor (heartsease) extract, another traditional calming botanical
There's no added fragrance in the formula at all.
Who it's for
Because it's positioned for highly sensitive, very dry skin, this is worth reaching for specifically when your child's face is dealing with dryness, tightness or itching, rather than as a routine everyday cream if their skin is generally comfortable. If skin issues are severe, persistent or you're unsure of the cause, check with your GP, maternal health nurse or dermatologist rather than relying on skincare alone.
How to use it
Apply to clean, dry skin as needed, focusing on areas that feel dry, tight or itchy. A thin layer is usually enough, and you can reapply through the day as needed rather than sticking to a fixed schedule.
Building a Derma routine
For the rest of the body, the Weleda Baby Derma Body Lotion White Mallow Fragrance Free uses the same fragrance-free White Mallow approach, useful if dryness extends beyond the face.
