# Weleda vs Deconstruct

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/weleda-vs-deconstruct

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France.

Weleda and Deconstruct are distinct skincare houses rooted in separate traditions, with the former being a Swiss botanical line established in 1921 and the latter an Indian science-led label founded in 2020. The Swiss brand is celebrated for its rich moisturizers, such as the calming Skin Food and Skin Food Light, which suit sensitive and acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the Indian brand is known for its reliable sunscreens, including the Gel Sunscreen, which cater primarily to balanced, oily, and acne-prone skin. While both offer targeted formulations, they differ fundamentally as the older company relies on gentle botanical bases and the newer label utilizes scientifically sound, lightweight textures.

Weleda is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1921 and owned by Weleda AG.
