White Mallow Derma
- regulating, protective, strengthening
– soothing, protective, calming
Weleda Calendula Baby Care, a range of products tried and tested for over 50 years, promotes the healthy development of a resilient skin. The calendula helps regulate the skin and envelops it in a warming, protective mantle. Weleda carefully selects and blends skin-friendly, natural essential oils, which support the baby in its overall development. The delicate fragrance has a calming, protective effect that gives a sense of security and ensures that the baby’s own scent remains intact.
A baby’s skin is five times thinner than an adult’s. Its subcutaneous fatty tissue is structured differently and its corneal layer (top layer) is thinner and contains less fat, so moisture can easily escape, which weakens the skin’s natural barrier functions. In some babies, this can lead to neurodermatitic and hypersensitive skin conditions. The White Mallow, a plant rich in organic gel, soothes and moisturises the skin providing a protective mantle. All our derma products are fragrance-free.
About Weleda
Our 100% natural baby ranges are comprehensively designed to work with all types of babies‘ skin from normal through to hypersensitive. Each product has been researched by our team of midwives and pharmacists to help support the development of healthy skin. Babies‘ skin is five times thinner than adult skin and frequently changes according to their environment, developmental stage and health. Sometimes the skin will need extra support due to teething, dribbling and exposure to cold or the skin may become irritated through allergies, which are often hereditary, or because

White Mallow Derma
NEW
Natural soothing for hypersensitive baby skin The gentle effect of White Mallow As far back as ancient times, White Mallow was highly regarded as a medicinal plant. Unlike many other plants, it feels warm and soft to the touch. It radiates softness and sensitivity, which is why it is well suited to skin that is sensitive or affected by neurodermatitis, an allergic skin disease characterised by dry, red and itchy skin.
Weleda White Mallow Baby Care also contains:
White Mallow
From an anthroposophical view, White Mallow has an holistic effect on the nerve-sense system of the skin (epidermis). Its anti-irritant properties help calm and protect hypersensitive skin, relieving itching and promoting healthy skin development. The polysaccharides in its roots are particularly effective and, combined with water, form an organic gel which provides moisture, alleviates irritation and envelopes the skin in a soothing cocoon.
Organic Safflower Oil rich in linolenic acid, helps rebuild the skin’s natural barrier.
Pansy calms and moisturises the skin.
Organic Sesame Oil gentle to the skin, thanks to its polyunsaturated fatty acids and valuable vitamin E.
Organic Cold Pressed Coconut Oil rich in saturated fatty acids, helps form a natural protective layer on the skin.
Organic Beeswax protects the skin without affecting its natural functions.
Borage Seed Oil rebuilds the skin‘s natural barrier using tripleunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids (gamma-linolenic acid).
Organic Cocoa Butter high in valuable saturated fatty acids, forms a protective layer on the skin, preventing it from drying out.

Neurodermatitis – a cry for help from the body and soul Just like hayfever and asthma, neurodermatitis is an atopic disease caused by a genetic oversensitivity to stimuli which are actually harmless. It is a chronic disease inherited from one or both parents and characterised by patches of dry, red, scaly skin, often accompanied by extremely itchy eczema. It primarily appears on the face and extensor sides such as knees and elbows. Neurodermatitis usually occurs in periodic attacks triggered by difficult-to-handle stimuli. For example:
White Mallow
• Environmental influences such as air pollution and extreme temperatures • Seasonal circumstances such as intense summer sun or hot and dry air in a heated room • An unsettled environment • Food allergies Babies affected by neurodermatitis are also usually very sensitive and restless, literally ‘thin-skinned’. As soon as your baby's skin shows any signs of changing over a long period of time or you are concerned as a parent, you should go straight to a doctor. Stress, anxiety and joy can thus trigger an attack of neurodermatitis, which often occurs in three phases: 18
Resting phase Skin is normal, possibly dry or lacking oil with slight itching. Irritated phase Skin is dry to very dry with red patches and cracks. Itching increases and skin becomes tight. Acute phase Skin is severely irritated, usually with weeping eczema, accompanied by chronic itching.
Weleda | White Mallow
Complementary care during every phase Each individual phase requires individual care. The Weleda White Mallow skincare range helps rebalance the skin’s natural barrier and stimulate its regenerative powers. All White Mallow products can be used regularly during the resting phase and the irritated phase. During the acute phase, the skin is so severely irritated that the skincare products should only be applied to UNAFFECTED areas of the skin. For affected areas use skincare or pharmaceutical products recommended by your doctor.

The Weleda eďŹƒcacy test Here at Weleda, we test the efficacy and tolerance of the finished products rather than the individual ingredients. The products in the White Mallow range were tested by certified, independent institutes and under medical supervision for their skin tolerance and effectiveness. They were tested on babies, children and adults with sensitive to atopic skin or neurodermatitis. To corroborate all statements relating to the
Weleda White Mallow range, we have carried out patch tests, user tests with questionnaires and equipment based measurements on test persons. All products demonstrated very good skin tolerance and proved to be suitable for people with hypersensitive skin to neurodermatitis. The results are overwhelmingly positive as can be noted below.
