Lemon  


Fair Trade Lemon

Lemons are widely used throughout Weleda’s products—both for its internal and external benefits. To ensure the highest quality juice and essential oil and the necessary quantity, Weleda has partnered with the well-known cooperative, “Salamita.”

Francesco and Concetta Salamita bring together close to 100 farmers throughout the prime, Lemon-cultivating area of Sicily, Italy. Each of these farmers follow strict biodynamic® guidelines. The cultivated fruits and end products—the juice and oil—are handled under the guidance and quality control of “Salamita.” The Lemons grown with the “Salamita” cooperative are well-respected by consumers, as they can also purchase them for their own use.
