Following the announcement of its landmark three-year partnership with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Weleda UK has unveiled its dedicated Chelsea Flower Show garden feature stand, celebrating 100 years of its iconic Skin Food range at the heart of one of the world’s most prestigious horticultural events.
As official skincare partner to RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Weleda is present across the showground, offering visitors and exhibitors hands-on access to its award-winning natural skincare. The brand’s spacious Main Avenue stand will be packed with beautiful botanicals inspired by Weleda’s Demeter-certified organic herb gardens in Derbyshire, showcasing its long-standing commitment to biodynamic growing, regenerative agriculture, and plant-powered formulation.
RHS Chelsea Sustainable Excellence Awards
It was announced on Monday that Weleda was a winner in the prestigious RHS Chelsea Sustainable Excellence Awards, which recognise brands championing eco-friendly and ethical consumerism. At a special presentation hosted by business leader and Deborah Meaden OBE, Weleda received the award for Best Sustainable Business of the Year 2026.
Nadine-Helene Santiago, Weleda Chief Sustainability Officer, accepted the award saying:
“We are incredibly honoured to be named the Winner of the RHS Chelsea Sustainable Business of the Year 2026. In this special year, as we celebrate 100 years of Weleda Skin Food, this recognition means a great deal to us. Sustainability has been at the heart of Weleda for over a century – rooted in our commitment to work in harmony with nature and the human being. This award reflects the dedication of our teams and partners, and we are especially proud of our three-year Partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society to bring an even stronger sustainability focus to Chelsea Flower Show. Together, we can inspire meaningful change and show that business can be a force for good.”
The judges were particularly impressed by Weleda’s approach: working at eye level with nature, restoring soils, protecting biodiversity, empowering communities, designing product, and infrastructure that work in harmony with nature.
“Weleda represents a rare example of a company where sustainability is not a marketing claim but the organising principle of the business. For more than a century they have demonstrated that commercial success and ecological stewardship can go hand in hand.”
The RHS judging panel for the Sustainable Excellence Awards 2026 included sustainability expert Professor Chris Harrop OBE, sustainability champion and business leader Deborah Meaden MBE, and landscape designer and trustee of the Sustainable Landscape Foundation, Andree Davies.

Centenary Edition Skin Food 100ml
And to celebrate 100 Years of Weleda’s iconic Skin Food Original, Weleda has introduced a new larger 100ml pack. It retails at £19.26 as a nod to the year Skin Food was first introduced, making it better value than any other size. Only a tiny handful of products have been around for anywhere close to 100 years, and Weleda Skin Food still has the same time-honoured formula to this day.
Exclusive RHS Chelsea x Skin Food Hand Care Collection
To mark this special occasion, Weleda has created the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Special Edition Skin Food Hand Care Collection with gardeners’ hard-working hands in mind. Formulated with 100% natural origin ingredients and inspired by the brand’s botanical heritage, the beautifully boxed hand wash and hand lotion duo reflects Weleda’s signature approach to sensorial, sustainable skincare rooted in nature.
