Nourishing super-foods for your skin

Nature offers everything we need to

create effective beauty and well-

ness products. Weledas new

Pomegranate Regenerating

Body Care is made of only the

most potent plant extracts and

oils for your timeless beauty.

1. peraate See oil Known for

their strong antioxidant properties,

the juicy seeds of the pomegran-

ate are rich in punicic acid, an

omega-5 fatty acid known to

promote healthy cell renewal toimprove dry, aging and stressed

skin. This unique constituent

also contains phytohormones,

which mimic our own natural

hormones. Cold-pressed rom

organic ruits cultivated in Turkey

(Read more about how we cultivate

our organic pomegranates on p5.)

2. olie oil Research has shown

that eating about two spoonfuls

daily of this staple of the much-

applauded Mediterranean diet

may reduce the risk of coronary

heart disease. The nutrient-rich oil

is also well suited for dry, sensi-

tive skin. Squalene, a component

of human skin that protects from

free radical damage, is found inolive oil, making it vital in pro-

aging skin care. Cold-pressed rom

olives cultivated in southern Europe

3. Sesae See oil Full of heart-

healthy fats and antioxidants,

sesame seed oil is a good diet

addition to reduce inammation,

a trigger for disease and aging. In

skin care, this delicate oil offers

natural sun protection and is

ideal for mature skin needing

improved circulation. Dry, dull

skin becomes supple and hy-

drated. Cold-pressed rom organic

sesame seeds cultivated in Mexico

4. hi oleic Swer See oil A eld

of sunowers turning to follow the suns

daily movements is a glorious sight.

The essence of this radiant life

cycle is contained in the sun-

ower seeds precious oil, which

is high in monounsaturated fatty

acid and vitamin E. Its neutral

taste makes it excellent for cooking.

In skin care, this light, uid oil has a

soothing effect on stressed skin.

Cold-pressed rom organic sun-

fowers grown in Germany and Italy

5. millet See Extract An ancientnutritional ingredient, millet seed

contains protein, trace minerals

and silicic acid, which strengthen

skin and hair. Rich in vitamin E

and fatty acids, including oleic,

linoleic and linolenic acids, it is

used for its regenerating and anti-

inflammatory properties. This rich

extract is also known to stimu-

late cell production and help

skin retain moisture. Extract rom

organic millet grown in Switzerland

6. macaaia See oil The nutri-

tious macadamia nut, with its rich,

creamy-colored esh and healthy

doses of benecial fats and ber,

makes a satisfying snack. Rich in

mono- and polyunsaturated fattyacids that correspond to the skins

sebum, the nourishing oil smoothes

and regenerates skin. It is ideal in car-

ing for dry, irritated and sensitive

skin. Cold-pressed rom organic

macadamia nuts grown in Kenya

7. Aca oil Within its green,

bumpy skin, the avocado fruit holds

nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and

phytonutrients. Used in skin care,

the vitamin-rich oil penetrates

deeply, caring for rough, dry and

mature skin. Avocado oil is known

ties, helping to reduce signs of aging.

An insect hotel is a great way to ensure the

presence of a variety of benecial insects,

both pollinators and predators. According

to Eva Maria Walle, manager of the Weleda

Biodynamic Medicinal Plant Gardens,

We can provide an adequate habitat for

the insects to support them, as they are

very important for our cultivation. The

early spring is an ideal time to open for

business, so start planning now.

Te fati a rs

Your hotel can really be as large or small,

wide or narrow as your garden requires andallows. You can build a sturdy structure out

of wood, but also consider recycling dis-

carded pallets stacked and secured to one

another, or a series of bricks or cinder

blocks bridged by wood planks.

Te sites

Fill the gaps with recycled and natu-

ral materials to provide enticing rooms

for temporary residence and for winter

hibernation.

Hollow reeds, stems or canes, even logs

or wood peppered with drilled holes, will

attract solitary bees, but make sure their

rooms are on the sunny side.

Sticks, pine cones, twigs, dried leaves and

stones will remind spiders, ladybugs and

invertebrates of the forest oor they love.

Rolled up corrugated cardboard, as long as

it is protected from the rain, will provide

ideal rooms for lacewings.

Almost anything, including pieces of bark,

terra cotta pots and roof tiles, will provide

the cracks and crevices to which many

insects are drawn.

Te rf

A sloped roof will protect your hotel from

the rain, but a rooftop garden of peren-

nials and annuals (with adequate drainage

or a slight angle) can lure even more

benecials.

Te aeities

Location is everything, so build in a good

neighborhood. The semi-shade, near a

hedge or other natural growth, will provide

an easy commute. Having food nearby,

such as nectar-producing plants, and a

dish of water near the base will make your

insects want to stay.
