Description
Weleda Baby Face Cream Calendula is a face cream for delicate skin, built around calendula. Weleda's own claim for it is simple: it protects and moisturises. It comes in a 50ml tube.
A dedicated cream for the face
Facial skin, especially on a baby, tends to be more exposed to weather, wind and general handling than the rest of the body, which is why Weleda has formulated a dedicated face cream rather than suggesting a body lotion do double duty. It's positioned specifically for delicate skin, and sized as a 50ml tube rather than a larger body-lotion-style bottle, reflecting how it's meant to be used.
Why calendula
Calendula is the defining ingredient here, chosen for its traditional soothing use in baby skincare. The cream carries Weleda's Certified Natural Skin Care mark, with organic ingredients.
What it feels like to use
Expect a cream that absorbs without leaving a heavy, greasy finish, suited to daily use on the face. It's designed to sit comfortably under a hat or against clothing without feeling sticky, which matters for a cream that's reapplied often. A little goes a long way over the small surface area of a baby's face, so the 50ml tube tends to last a reasonable amount of time even with regular use.
How to use it
Apply a small amount to your baby's face, as needed through the day, particularly after washing or before heading outdoors in cold or windy weather. Morning application before a walk or outing is a common time to use it, alongside reapplying if your baby's cheeks look or feel dry later in the day.
Building a calendula routine
If calendula suits your baby's skin, it's worth knowing Weleda carries it through the rest of the range too, including the Weleda Baby Body Cream Calendula for the rest of the body.
