Dr. Hauschka Cosmetic

 Dr. Hauschka Skincare helps your skin tap into its own, natural ability to stay healthy and beautiful. Unique formulations with medicinal plants give your skin effective stimuli that invigorate, calm or strengthen it—according to its individual needs. This keeps your skin beautifully radiant at all stages of life.

We get independent institutes to confirm the efficacy of our skin care through scientific studies.

Our night time care supports your skin with its nightly renewal processes and leaves it free to breathe. It works exclusively with revitalising stimuli and light textures. Specially for mature skin, our Regenerating and Regenerating Intensive lines offer highly effective formulations. They reduce the appearance of fine lines and pamper your skin with nourishing, creamy textures.

Ever since our establishment in 1967, we at Dr. Hauschka Skin Care have put our trust in the power of nature: We draw exclusively on natural raw materials for our formulations, including medicinal plants, botanical oils and waxes, and essential oils.

Before we launch new skin care products on the market, we get independent institutes to carry out dermatological tests on volunteers to confirm that our skin care is suited to all skin conditions, including sensitive. 

For very dry skin and skin with atopic dermatitis, we have developed Dr. Hauschka MED, medical skin care, products together with doctors and research institutes. Our professional skin care line strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, promotes self-regulation, supports reddened, itchy skin at any stage of life and is also perfectly tolerated by very sensitive skin.

Dr. Hauschka stands for certified natural skin care of the highest quality: More than 90% of our botanical ingredients are grown using organic farming. They preferably come from our own biodynamic medicinal herb garden, the fields on our Demeter farm or from wild harvesting in the Swabian Jura. From harvesting to bottling, the production steps are closely coordinated and delivery routes short. In this way we protect the climate and ensure the best, fresh quality of our products.

We then buy plants that don't grow in our climate from partners who share our values and with whom we have worked closely for years. If we cannot source an ingredient from organic farming, we purposefully launch biodynamic cultivation projects around the world. We help our partners to implement them by providing advice and support.

We therefore do not use synthetic additives. We guarantee the first-class quality and microbial safety of our products through a whole range of further measures: Our raw materials undergo thorough microbiological tests before we process them under particularly hygienic conditions that meet pharmaceutical standards. We then formulate our ingredients carefully to ensure they interact well for great product stability.

Dr. Hauschka is certified natural skin care. That means our ingredients don't come from chemistry sets, but from nature, such as medicinal plants, botanical oils and waxes, and real essential oils. We also use minerals, metals and animal substances. All in all, we draw on a pool of 500 natural raw ingredients, many of which are organic.

The ingredients in our products are mostly of botanical or mineral origin. Depending on the desired effect of the skin care and the skin’s needs, we decide whether or not to use animal raw materials for each individual product. For example, beeswax is a valuable substance for natural skin care. A gift from nature that we use with the utmost care. But we do offer vegan skin care too.

Dr. Hauschka Skin Care is free from mineral oils, microplastics and dissolved synthetic polymers. We also do not use mineral-oil-based substances produced by synthetic chemical means. We obtain our glycerine and fatty constituents exclusively from plants.

Looking for skin care that doesn't use animal testing? We have never tested on animals. Since Dr. Hauschka was established in 1967, we have never carried out or outsourced animal testing.

In the European Union, animal testing has been completely banned for cosmetic products and their raw ingredients since 11 March 2013 under the Cosmetics Directive. It is a mandatory ban that all cosmetics manufacturers in the EU must respect.

Dr. Hauschka Skin Care is not always vegan. Depending on the desired effect of the skin care and the skin’s needs, we decide whether or not to use animal ingredients for each individual product. We are aware that whenever we take something from nature, we are responsible for the environment and the quality of the substance we have taken away. However, we do offer vegan skin care too.
