Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil 100 ml

A light massage oil for the thighs, hips and bottom, in a 100ml bottle. Worked in with a circular massage twice a day, it smoothes and firms the skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite. It absorbs without leaving an oily film.

Birch, rosemary and butcher's broom

Extracts of young birch leaves, rosemary and butcher's broom (ruscus) are blended with carrier oils of apricot kernel, jojoba and vitamin-rich wheatgerm. Grapefruit and cypress give it a sharp, invigorating scent.

What it does

• Regular use smoothes, tones and firms skin
• Reduces the appearance of cellulite
• Dermatologically tested
• No synthetic preservatives, fragrances or colourants, and no raw materials from mineral oils

How it is used

Best used twice a day for four weeks, then once daily to keep the effect going. Apply in a circular massage over thighs, hips and bottom. It spreads more easily on slightly damp skin.
