Description
Weleda Soap Bar Calendula is a plant-based bar soap made with organic calendula and chamomile, positioned specifically for delicate skin. It comes in a 100g bar and is suitable for both adults and children.
Why a plant-based bar soap
Weleda's own reasoning for this soap is worth repeating: frequent handwashing and aggressive surfactants can dry out skin and damage its natural barrier over time. Their plant-based soaps are made from carefully selected, 100% natural sources, including organic plant oils like coconut and olive, along with pure essential oils, so they can be used for frequent washing even on sensitive or stressed skin without the harsh, stripped feeling some soaps leave behind.
Calendula and chamomile
Both calendula and chamomile are included specifically for their gentle, calming effect on skin, which is the whole point of this bar. The lather is creamy rather than thin and bubbly, and rinses off easily without leaving residue behind. Skin tolerance has been dermatologically proven, and the soap is suitable for children, which makes it a practical option for a shared family bathroom rather than something you need a separate bottle for.
Certified and vegan
Weleda states this soap is 100% certified natural, with around 80% of the botanical ingredients certified organic or biodynamic and sourced ethically and sustainably. It's also suitable for vegans, since it doesn't rely on animal-derived ingredients like some traditional soaps.
How to use it
Use as you would any bar soap, working up a lather on wet skin and rinsing thoroughly. Keep it on a soap dish that drains well between uses to help the bar last longer.
Where it fits in a routine
A gentle bar soap like this works well for hands, body, or as a simple option for anyone in the household who reacts to more heavily fragranced washes. If your skin needs a heavier, leave-on layer of care afterwards, the Weleda Sensitive Body Lotion Fragrance Free is a reasonable next step for the body.
