In search of the most inspiring cleaner beauty post – and to help spread the word about the benefits of cleaner beauty – Weleda has launched a Blogger Competition with a fantastic prize (on top of helping to save the planet).
For Weleda, ‘cleaner beauty’ is a way of life; the company has been manufacturing products using only natural ingredients since it was founded in 1921.
All Weleda’s natural and organic cosmetics are made without artificial additives, synthetic preservatives or parabens, without microplastics, without sulphates such as SLS/SLES, without mineral oils or petrochemical derivatives, without silicones, without GMO ingredients. Every single one Weleda’s cosmetics is NATRUE certified.
But for Weleda the concept of Cleaner Beauty extends even further – as well as using sustainable ingredients in its products, Weleda grows its own organic ingredients biodynamically, sources its raw ingredients with respect, has UEBT (Union for Ethical BioTrade) certification, nurtures long-term, fair-trade partnerships around the globe and uses recyclable packaging.
For the competition, bloggers are invited to consider the products in their beauty regime and write a creative and visual post on a cleaner beauty theme that will engage and motivate readers to follow suit, because we can make a difference!
The winner will receive a Weleda Cleaner Beauty Collection worth over £150 to help them on their path to more conscious beauty choices and to celebrate becoming a Weleda Cleaner Beauty Ambassador.
They’ll also be able to feature a Cleaner Beauty Ambassador logo on their blog until the end of 2018. The winner will feature on the Weleda website and social media platforms, which will help raise the profile of the winner’s blog.
In case that’s not enough, the winner will also get a celebratory Weleda Skin Food facial and an aromatic Weleda body massage.
The competition opens Friday 22 June 2018, and the deadline for entries is midnight Friday 20 July 2018. No shortlist will be announced; the winner will be notified by Friday 03 August 2018.
It’s open to bloggers who live in the UK, and the blog must be written in English and aimed at a UK audience.
The blog should be at least 500 words long and must be new – it shouldn’t have appeared anywhere prior to Friday 22 June 2018. While the post can discuss other brands, it should include Weleda.
