Dr. Hauschka
German brand of natural skin care products
Dr. Hauschka is a brand of natural skin care and cosmetics products developed by the German company WALA Heilmittel GmbH. The brand is known for its holistic approach to skin care, emphasizing the use of natural ingredients and sustainable practices.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Dr. Hauschka date back to 1935 when Rudolf Hauschka, an Austrian chemist, founded WALA Heilmittel GmbH. Hauschka was inspired by the principles of anthroposophy, a philosophy developed by Rudolf Steiner, which emphasizes the connection between the spiritual and physical worlds. In 1967, the first Dr. Hauschka skin care products were launched, developed in collaboration with Elisabeth Sigmund, a cosmetologist from Sweden.
Philosophy[edit | edit source]
Dr. Hauschka's philosophy is rooted in the belief that the skin possesses its own natural rhythms and regenerative abilities. The brand's products are designed to support these natural processes rather than override them. This approach is reflected in the use of high-quality, natural ingredients, many of which are sourced from the company's own biodynamic gardens.
Products[edit | edit source]
Dr. Hauschka offers a wide range of skin care and cosmetic products, including cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and makeup. The products are formulated without synthetic fragrances, dyes, or preservatives, and are certified by NATRUE, an international association that promotes natural and organic cosmetics.
Sustainability[edit | edit source]
Sustainability is a core value for Dr. Hauschka. The company is committed to environmentally friendly practices, such as using renewable energy sources, minimizing waste, and supporting fair trade initiatives. The packaging is designed to be recyclable, and the company actively works to reduce its carbon footprint.
Manufacturing Process[edit | edit source]
The manufacturing process of Dr. Hauschka products involves a unique rhythmical processing method, which includes exposing the ingredients to natural light and darkness, as well as temperature variations. This method is believed to enhance the vitality and effectiveness of the ingredients.
Global Presence[edit | edit source]
Dr. Hauschka products are available in over 40 countries worldwide. The brand has a strong presence in Europe, North America, and Asia, and continues to expand its reach through partnerships with retailers and online platforms.
