Natural Quality
It is scientifically acknowledged that our skin absorbs significant amounts of what we put on it. The average adult is exposed to large numbers of different chemicals each day by applying conventional skin care products. Some figures suggest that a cocktail of 4lb 6oz of chemicals a year is absorbed into the body through the skin.
Every ingredient that goes into a Dr.Hauschka Skin Care product has an important job to do. Whether delivering essential moisture, encouraging resilience, improving efficacy or adding natural, therapeutic fragrance, each ingredient is painstakingly selected for its particular effects and its interaction with the others. WALA - the company behind Dr.Hauschka Skin Care - has been working with healing plant and mineral extracts since the 1930s. Their pharmaceutical expertise joins over 40 years of pioneering work in holistic skin care to create the purest, most effective natural skin care products available.
The source of each ingredient is equally as important. WALA supports sustainable, ecologically sound agricultural practices by obtaining as many of their ingredients as possible from certified biodynamic and organic sources. The vast majority of ingredients in the Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products are biodynamically and organically grown and harvested, and not a single ingredient comes from an organisation involved in animal testing. Pure essential oils and careful combinations of plant and mineral ingredients keep products fresh and effective without the use of synthetic preservatives. This, combined with a unique process that enhances the vitality and stability of the biodynamic and organic ingredients, ensures that their healing, nurturing and supportive qualities are passed on directly to you.
Essential Oils
Only natural essential oils are used in the products, obtained from freshly harvested leaves, peel, needles and flowers. They are gently distilled to capture their perfume.
Each product has its own individual fragrance composition, chosen not only for the scent but for their skin care properties as well.
Like cures like
Using homoeopathic principles the Dr.Hauschka products treat ‘like with like’. Stripping the skin of oil sends the message to the skin to produce more. Dr.Hauschka treats an oily skin condition by applying an oily product. This tells the skin that it needs to product less oil itself, resulting in a more balanced condition.
