Hydrating and Balancing Iris

Iris is our most moisturizing potent petal, it hydrates and helps skin maintain an optimal moisture balance. iris extract deeply penetrates to lavish your complexion with long-lasting moisture. You are left with a dewy, supple, glowing complexion.

Known for its vibrant flowers, the iris plant takes its name from the Greek goddess of the rainbow, who served nectar to the Olympian gods. The showy and intensely-hued blooms and the ability to store water for long periods of time within its root system is a testament to its mythological connection. As the star of the hydrating line, iris extract imparts this moisturize-retaining characteristic to dehydrated skin. Encouraging a harmonious balance to skin, it delivers lasting moisture that is easily absorbed by the skin.

Well-hydrated skin is better equipped to withstand environmental and aging aggressors. But many cleansers contain moisture-evaporating surfactants. Whether you have climate-related, seasonal or chronic dryness the first step to relieve the feeling of tight, flaky skin is a non-drying cleanser.

Weleda’s Gentle Cleansing Milk purifies and enhances suppleness with gentle, softening oils and iris root extract. Emollients in this non-foaming formula gently sweep away makeup, dirt and impurities, revealing fresh, hydrated skin.

The best way to maximize your skin care’s benefits is to apply from lightest to richest. Prep your skin with the Refining Toner followed by the Sensitive Care Calming Oil and the Renewing Eye Cream, then finish by gliding on the Hydrating Day Cream. For an extra dose of moisture apply the Deep Moisture Facial Balm. Follow this order for vital, supple skin.
