Transforming a Century Old Purpose Brand for Next Generation

Weleda, a 100-year pioneer in natural skincare, is reigniting relevance in a crowded beauty market by focusing on value, trust, nature and purpose; not price wars. Through deep consumer listening, we built a future-facing innovation pipeline, from Gen Z Booster Drops to science-led Cell Longevity for Gen X and Boomers. Staying young means evolving with consumers while remaining true to our roots.
Key Takeaways:
1. Relevance Is a Strategic Choice, Not a Rebranding Exercise
2. Deep Consumer Listening Must Translate Future-Proof Innovation Pipeline
3. The Future of Heritage Brands Is “Rooted Agility”
