Dr. Hauschka

Written by: Ellen R. Delisio

All of Dr. Hauschka's products are made with natural ingredients, grown biodynamically, a process that is a step beyond organic farming in that it considers not just what is planted, but how it is grown, the types of plants that grow next to each other, the Earth's natural rhythm, and even the best time to harvest plants.

Some ingredients from animals, such as pollen, beeswax, silk powder, carmine, and lanolin are included in Dr. Hauschka products, but whenever possible, they are obtained without harming the insect or animal. Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products comply with guidelines for animal testing and ingredients established by both PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) and the BDIH (German Federation of Natural Products Manufacturers).
