Nourishing skin naturally with this powerful combination
The combination of Cytoplan’s Skin Food Complex to nourish the deep layers of the skin, partnered with Weleda’s Day and Night Creams to intensively nourish, protect, replenish and renew the surface skin layers, work as the perfect partners to support skin health in a beautifully boxed set, suitable for vegans.
NEW Skin Food Complex is an all-encompassing nutritional formula to nourish, feed and enrich your skin from within from food-based and market-leading supplement brand Cytoplan. Formulated by expert Nutritional Therapists with purposeful skin-targeted ingredients – including collagen, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, grape seed and bilberry extracts, silica, zinc collectively offer a high level of structural, reparative, nourishing support designed to revitalise your skin from within.
Amanda Williams; CEO of Cytoplan and Nutritional Therapist who created Skin Food Complex said:
“I am really excited to have created Skin Food Complex as it has given me the opportunity to put all the wonderful natural nutrients that optimise skin health and vitality into one single product designed to feed your skin from within. I use this regime myself and I love the moisturised glow it gives after just a short time. Our shared philosophy of “nature knows best” and our focus on ingredients from the natural world has created an exceptionally efficacious and gorgeous skin programme to feed your skin from the inside and out!”
Inspired by the iconic Skin Food Original and Weleda’s long-held holistic approach to skincare; intensively nourish your skin around the clock with the Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Day and Night Creams. Formulated with Skin Food’s original signature botanicals – rosemary, wild pansy, calendula, chamomile, sunflower – the creams are clinically proven to deliver immediate and long-lasting moisture, and are suitable for women and men of all ages with skin that has a tendency to dryness, or as a nourishing boost for skin going through a dry phase.
Future-proofing your skin with the Skin Food Regime
The Complete Skin Food Regime is designed to optimise the health and vitality of both the deep layers of skin as they develop and the visible surface layer which appears a few weeks later. Only if skin receives the best nourishment in the development stages can you ensure resilient, healthy, glowing, moisturised skin during its cycle. However, once it reaches the surface your skin is subjected to many environmental and other damaging influences that can dull its appearance and reduce vitality. That’s why together Cytoplan and Weleda UK have created a complete regime to ensure resilient healthy skin from the inside and outside. Let your new Skin Food regime restore a healthy glow, naturally.
“As a holistic health and beauty brand, the idea of Weleda coming together with Cytoplan to develop a nourishing skincare regime that cares holistically for skin – from both inside and out – felt a natural fit. Inspired by our original Skin Food cream from 1926, we’ve captured some of the magic of that iconic beauty product in a holistic skincare set that harnesses the power of nature. We’ve used the very best quality natural and organic ingredients we can grow or source, to create a skincare regime to nourish on all levels.”
Jayn Sterland, Managing Director, Weleda UK

Ingredients Glossary
| Weleda Skin Food Day Cream & Night Cream | |
| Butyrospermum Parkii | Skin-smoothing shea butter from organic farming partners in Burkina Faso helps strengthen the skin’s natural barrier function. |
| Calendula Officinalis | The golden flowers are sourced from Weleda’s own biodynamic medicinal herb gardens. A natural anti-bacterial, calendula is prized for ability to soothe irritated skin, and contains carotenoids and flavonoids. |
| Centella Asiatica | Extract from the whole plant (flower, leaf, stem) is included for its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis and encourage connective tissue to regenerate and recover. |
| Chamomilla Recutita | Organic chamomile flowers from long-term farming partners in Kosovo. A renowned skin soother with calming, anti-inflammatory properties. |
| Helianthus Annuus | Sourced from long-term organic farming partners in Hungary, sunflower seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and nourishing vitamin E, to support the skin’s barrier function. |
| Olea Europaea | Skin-soothing organic olive leaf extract is included for its protective antioxidant effect, capturing free radicals and protecting against harmful environmental influences. |
| Plukenetia Volubilis | Cold-pressed sacha inchi seed oil, rich in alpha linoleic acid prized for its cell-regenerating properties, helps nourish and support the skin’s natural barrier function and elasticity. |
| Rhus Verniciflua | The soft berry wax from the Asian lacquer tree is a skin-conditioning agent. |
| Rosmarinus Officinalis | Organic rosemary leaf extract from long-term farming partners in Portugal, is renowned for its revitalising, invigorating properties to perk up a pasty complexion. |
| Squalane | Olive squalane is included for its skin-smoothing benefits, and to maintain a healthy skin barrier and protect against dryness, leaving skin silky soft. |
| Viola Tricolor | Wild pansy extract, which contains natural polysaccharides and flavonoids, has a skin-soothing and -smoothing effect to help keep even the flakiest of skin soft and supple. |
| Cytoplan Skin Food Complex | |
| Bilberry | Bilberry is packed full of antioxidants called anthocyanodins which are profoundly protective to skin, quenching free radicals and helping delay the signs of ageing. Bilberry fruit is also anti-inflammatory and high in tannins which have astringent properties and help skin feel tightened and toned. |
| Biotin | Biotin is an important component of skin and helps maintain good hydration, smoothness and strength. |
| Grape Seed Extract | The pronanthocyanadins in grape seed extract are powerful antioxidants, which may help to protect the skin from free radical damage, UV damage and premature ageing. Grape Seed extract binds collagen fibres to produce a powerful antioxidant and membrane stabilising effect that protects against premature skin ageing, promoting elasticity. |
| Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid is a complex polysaccharide found naturally in connective, epithelial and neural tissues. It is a key molecule for helping skin retain moisture and protecting against UV-mediated and other skin ageing drivers. Sourced via fermented plant sugars. |
| MCT | MCT (medium chain triglycerides) oil is derived from coconuts. An emollient with natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, it helps keep skin smooth and protected against minor infections. |
| MSM | MSM is a natural form of plant-derived sulphur. Keratin, a sulphur-rich protein is found on the outside surface of skin and is responsible for its protection and structure. Many diets today are low in sulphur-containing foods and as the body has a high need for sulphur, MSM can act as a supportive source for keratin production. Also known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilising properties. Associated with improved skin texture. |
| Silica | Silica resides in collagen fibres giving connective tissue strength and flexibility. Good levels help to improve elasticity, texture and hydration of the skin as well as reducing the visible signs of ageing. Here the silica is sourced from bamboo. |
| Vegan Collagen(Vollagen) | Collagen helps skin to appear firm, radiant, smooth and more supple. Vollagen is a complex of amino acids in the same proportion as those found within collagen, but using only plant-source starting material. The amino acids in Vollagen are in the exact desired ratio, in a water-dispersible format, and are already isolated so the body is ready to easily absorb them. |
| Vitamin C | Vitamin C is involved in collagen production and good levels help support skin structure and improve skin tone, texture and hydration, which can reduce the signs of ageing. A powerful antioxidant that helps to combat oxidative stress to the skin and premature ageing. |
| Zinc | Zinc is involved in protein and collagen synthesis, and in tissue growth and healing. It also contributes anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Zinc is required for building keratin and for the formation of collagen, produced by zinc-dependent enzymes called collagenases. Even mild deficiencies of zinc can impair collagen production and wound healing. |
