Numerous natural beauty bloggers have applauded Weleda's range by including the Belgian brand in their top products of the last 12 months.

Kate, writing for the Sunny Side blog, commented that the company's Wild Rose series is one of her favourite natural skincare ranges.

She remarked that her lists of top products always contain a moisturiser, with Weleda's Wild Rose Day Cream proving particularly popular with her in 2009.

"I have loved Weleda products for years and the Wild Rose Day Cream is my new favourite," she said.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, Gabriela, writing for Angels With Dirty Faces, praised the company's organic baby products.

She said that Weleda's Baby Calendula line was perfect for her own skincare needs, although she pointed out that she stumbled across the brand's goods by mistake.

The 100 per cent natural ingredients mean the range is her "dream thing", she said, adding: "I really like these products.

"[They are] easy to use for me and my little girl."
