Ingredients matter . . . and quality ingredients matter most. Every ingredient that goes into a Dr. Hauschka Skin Care preparation has an important job to do. Whether delivering essential moisture, encouraging resilience, improving efficacy or adding natural, therapeutic fragrance, each ingredient is carefully selected for its particular effects and its interaction with the whole composition. Hauschka manufacturer WALA Heilmittel has been studying and working with healing plant and mineral extracts since the 1940's. Over the decades they've developed an in-depth understanding of the way certain plants mirror specific skin functions and the manner in which each plant interacts with the skin to stimulate and support health, balance and beauty. Their pharmaceutical expertise joins over thirty-five years of pioneering work in holistic esthetics to create the purest, most effective natural skin care preparations available.
We rely exclusively on healthy, ecologically and socially responsible sources for our ingredients. WALA Heilmittel supports sustainable, ecologically sound agricultural practices by obtaining as many of their ingredients as possible from certified Biodynamic and organic sources. Biodynamics is a holistic, sustainable form of ecologically responsible agriculture that predates the organic movement. WALA owns and operates its own Biodynamic garden and farm, which provides a number of the ingredients used in its healing remedies and Dr. Hauschka Skin Care line. In fact, the vast majority of ingredients in the Dr. Hauschka Skin Care line are from Biodynamic and organic sources, and not a single ingredient comes from an organization involved in animal testing. Our Eco-conscious packaging and natural botanical preservatives help keep products fresh without the use of chemical additives. In this way, we're able to maintain the vitality of our Biodynamic and organic plant ingredients, delivering their nurturing, supportive qualities directly to you.
