Weleda Baby Derma Baby Lotion, White Mallow Moisturising Cream, Dermatologically Tested for Hypersensitive, Very Dry and Atopic skin, Developed by Professionals, Fragrance Free, 200 ml

I have tried dozens, nay, probably hundreds of moisturiser's over the past twenty years.After a side effect of some new, but essential medication I had begun to feel itchy at night and anti histimines weren't doing the trick. I'd tried E45 itch relief cream amongst others, and only found relief in actual numbing creams such as those with a lidocaine base. Aside from the fact these are sold/prescribed in small quantities (thus costing me a fortune and taking forever to apply to my entire body), I really didn't want to smother myself in Vagisil every night and have my husband ask what that weird scent was when I climbed into bed. We've been together years and have three children, so although I'm happy to have itch relief over smelling like Chanel no.5 in a bid to be alluring, I really didn't fancy the consistency and odour myself.I have a great aversion to a certain 'feel' after lotions and potions have sunk in; mainly it leaving your hands feeling tacky and oddly dry.Many moisturiser's worth their salt have this feeling, or they're so thick they don't sink in at all.Not so with this legend. The way it sinks in reminds me a little of Lush's 'Dream Cream', though the consistency appears a little thinner, and leaves your wallet a little fatter!As for itch relief, it's remarkable. It leaves the skin calm and moisturisered with no excess, the smell is subtle but light and pleasant and it's cooling without that menthol type feel many products tout as having such effects.I've since used this for my 10 year old's eczema patches, on my toddler's cradle cap and as an all over cream for her.Even hubby uses it on his vulture like elbows and he detests any sort of lotion or cream, even if his elbows could light a match.Every household should have a bottle in, it's fantastic for general use, cradle cap, itches, bites and eczema. I've even used it on my (very sensitive) face when I ran out of my usual night cream and haven't bothered buying my usual one since. I wake up feeling fresh faced, no excess grease and any dry patches are gone (combination skin).Highly, highly recommend!!

Bought this product for my babies dry skin after looking around and reading reviews. This worked so quickly, eased her dry skin and cleared up the red irritation she was getting from rubbing her dry skin in 2 days.I don’t normally leave reviews but if there are any parents struggling with dry skin that might crack then I recommend this.

I bought this product for my own personal use, and so I'm reviewing it as a personal moisturiser rather than a baby product.It doesn't make a great personal moisturiser for me, but I can't comment on it as a baby product for which it is intended.I have dry skin and mild eczema, and I like to use naturally-derived (plant-based) moisturising products. Weleda's baby lotions are cheaper than the rest of their moisturising products, so I often opt for the baby lotions. (I like Weleda products in general - they tend to be excellent quality, in my experience.)This product has a light and non-greasy consistency. It's not quickly absorbed, but it is very easy to rub off with a towel if too much is applied, leaving no hint of grease.When using as a face cream, I notice that it sometimes forms a dry flaky residue on my face late in the evening, that looks a bit like a skin condition! So it doesn't make a good face cream!This cream is light and easy to use, but I have dry skin, and it's not really adequate for my needs, except as an occasional day cream if nothing else is to hand. I need something that is better absorbed.I've seen a number of reviews that criticise the fragrance. It doesn't have the nicest of fragrances. It has a very mild/subtle smell which I struggle to pinpoint, but it's like a very subtle hint of fresh coconut flesh (note that I'm referring to fresh coconut - a natural smell, not an artificially refined smell that you'd get in some suncreams - it doesn't smell like Malibu!), with perhaps a hint of nettles. (Nettles don't have the most attractive smell - the aren't fresh or zesty.) I don't find the fragrance offensive, and it's an extremely mild smell (almost imperceptible), but it's not the most pleasant fragrance - it doesn't smell fresh, and it wouldn't be for everyone.Overall, i find it acceptable as an occasional light, every-day, mild moisturiser, when i have nothing else available to use. (But not for use on my face because it creates an embarrassing flaky residue when dry.) It doesn't have the feel of a quality moisturising cream like many of Weleda's other moisturising products do. Also, the fragrance isn't present. But considering that this is supposed to be a baby lotion, I'm not sure if my review is appropriate or helpful, if you intend to use it for a baby.I won't buy this product again for my personal use. I prefer Weleda's Calendula Baby Lotion, in terms of consistency and smell. And I much prefer Weleda's range of adult moisturisers, but they are expensive.

I adore this lotion. Though it is very thick for a lotion, it absorbs beautifully, isn't greasy and it soothes and heals my ezcema. I am allergic to linalool so love that this is safe for me to use. It's a little too intense for my face which flares easily with acne but perfect for everywhere else. I tend to use it just to fight ezcema on my hands and wrists as it is expensive but so effective. I'm also using it for my vulvodynia or external areas of vulva and it's great.I do find getting it out the bottle a bit of a task sometimes. You have to flick the lotion down to the lid. I decanted some into a 30ml HDPE flip top bottle for my bag. This stuff just doesn't ever move of it's own accord. Even storing the bottle upside down it will not collect in the neck, you have to persuade it with a vigorous flick of the wrist. I'm now going to try using an airless pump which should work much better. It does come out it's original bottle a bit easier but the colder it is the harder it is to get it out. This is not enough to put me off because it's fantastic in every other way. I like that it's thick but that it melts to lotion on my skin.This is one of the few ezcema or unfragranced moisturisers I've used that I don't feel like I need to wash my hands afterwards if I want to say knit or handle paper. Don't ever change!
