I love the children's toothpaste. That is all DD has ever used!

I LOVE these products. My SIL lives in Berlin, so she always brings me a bunch of their diaper cream when she visits. I use the diaper cream all the time to prevent redness or a rash and DD has never had a rash. The only time she did get one, I was all out of the cream. As soon as I bought some more and used it, the rash cleared up nicely. I also use the children's toothpaste and DD loves it as well. They have a great calendula baby oil that is real nice too after you give your little one a bath. I highly suggest using their products. It's well worth it.

I like all the products I've tried: kids' toothpaste, diaper cream, calendula kids body cream, maybe a couple of other things.

In general I like the fact that I have never picked up a Weleda product and been concerned about the ingredients. I read the ingredients on everything and compare a lot of stuff, and Weleda is consistently good as far as I can tell. (Unlike other companies whose stuff I buy, like Burt's Bees, where I know I still have to read the ingredients very closely to make sure there's nothing I'm trying to avoid.)

They can be a bit pricey, though.

Yup -it's top quality. My kids are addicted to their kid toothpaste too.

I'm one of the few who dislike the stuff. The lotions are very greasy, the diaper cream was not effective for us and my son HATED the tooth gel. I really wanted to like the brand, but just couldn't. I did like the scent, though my husband hated it.

Love the stuff,they just came out with a new calendula shampoo and bodywash for the kids,it's great.the new kids sunscreen smells yummy too.
I can't live without their wind and weather balm in the winter,no chapped lips or windburned cheeks in this house.
I just tried their birch oil body scrub and oil and they do this great chestnut bath milk that smells really earthy.
the cinnabar powder clears up my sorethroats almost instantly.


I do hate the salt toothpaste though,but that really is the only thing.

As above really! The calendula nappy cream cleared up nappy rash in one go! I use the Ratania toothpaste and DD uses the one for kids. I also like the Rose facial products for myself. And if you can get it, because some countries don´t have it, then the Ruta ointment is a must for the first aid kit.

I also find Neals Yard Remedies stuff of good quality.

I love Weleda products!!

I use the Ratanhia mouthwash and plan to get the toothpaste next.

LOVE the Wound Care cream - great to have around. Gonna get the Burn Care cream too since I killed my aloe plant

DD loves the kid's tooth gel (perhaps a little TOO much ).

LOVE, LOVE the EVERON Lip Balm - it is my favorite and since the tube is pink DH doesn't steal it

LOVE the Wild Rose Spray Deodorant - very nice, and packaged in glass.

I tried the Iris cleanser and the Skin Food cream - both which I have heard great things about - and while they seemed very nice, they weren't quite right for my skin. Planning to try something else when I use up my Aveda.

Probably forgetting something!

I've heard vitacost.com has great prices on Weleda.

so how do you compare Weleda w/ Aveda?

I second the opinion of the Weleda Everon Lip Balm and raved about it in the chapped lips thread http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=694160. It completely healed my severely chapped lips in a little over a week!

i like the rosemary hair oil...a little goes a looooong way...makes my dry ends smooth. don't put in your roots unless you have seriously curly hair...it'll just make you look like a greasy drowned rat ! it smells grrrrrreat!
also use the baby lotion on ds...kinda oily, but smells good. again, a little goes a long way, which means a lot to a poor mama like me!
