I received Weleda Skin Food as a sample and the richness and light scent has successfully turned me onto the whole brand. If you’re a dry-skinned guy or gal, you’ll want to try Skin Food.

Alternative use - this is the best lip balm I have found. I have perpetually dry lips and saw a dermatologist recommend this.
