Following its new Skin Food Face Care launch in April, Weleda has introduced Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil for fast-absorbing moisturising care for body and face. Formulated to naturally moisturize, intensively nourish and instantly hydrate, with weightless care and a beautiful glow, it is inspired by Weleda’s Skin Food Original. The vegan-friendly ingredients in this microbiome-friendly formulation are of 100% natural origin and include Skin Food’s botanicals rosemary, wild pansy, calendula and chamomile, together with nourishing oils of organic sunflower and jojoba. The Ultra-Light Dry Oil is an oil-in-water formulation which needs a quick shake to mix the ingredients before spritzing the fine mist onto skin and effortlessly smoothing in. Naturally fragranced with pure essential oils, the spray leaves a satin sheen and the Skin Food signature scent of refreshing rosemary, aromatic lavender, vibrant sweet orange and balsamic benzoin.

DIRTEA has added Turkey Tail to its range of functional mushroom extract powders and super blends. Renowned as an ‘immunity powerhouse’, turkey tail is one of the most researched and ancient functional mushrooms in the world, says the brand. Proven to stimulate the release of polysaccharide compounds which help to restore balance and strengthen the immune system, it can also nourish the good bacteria in the gut. Delivering 2,000mg in each serving, DIRTEA Turkey Tail can be mixed with hot water or added to hot or cold drinks for an extra immune boost. “The growing thirst for our products illustrates the huge demand for natural, functional nutrition which really works,” says co-founder Andrew Salter. “It has always been our mission to make functional mushrooms mainstream and we can’t wait for consumers to experience the natural immune-boosting benefits Turkey Tail offers, in addition to the other iconic products in the DIRTEA range.”
