Formulated from excellent, non-toxic ingredients.
Ethical
Made in Germany, Dr. Hauschka has over 50 years of pioneering work in organic and natural skincare products. Through biodynamic cultivation of medical plants and controlled organic Demeter farming, Dr. Hauschka is committed to ethical responsibility. The company obtain plants, oils and waxes under fair trade conditions and all products are certified with NATRUE and are animal cruelty-free.
Sustainable
Dr. Hauschka thinks and works in material cycles – for example, when using rain water or easy-to-recycle packaging materials and when composting vegetal production waste. The business uses 100% certified green electricity, heat recovery for air conditioning purposes and provides company bicycles, employee public transport fare coverage and a carpooling platform.
It also created a medicinal plant garden in 1955, which is now Demeter certified and continues to teach the company about sustainable business practices.
Responsible
Dr. Hauschka maintains a series of ecological, socially responsible partnerships for example by obtaining the precious oil of Damask roses from Afghanistan, where it is working with the World Hunger Organisation to offer around 700 farmers who now use organic methods as an alternative to opium cultivation. It also has many organic farming partners whom it assists to increase production capacities, seek biodynamic consultancy and improve social working conditions.
What our experts say...
This lotion has a lovely lightweight texture that sinks into the skin with ease. It helps keep the skin soft and supple, whilst also providing long lasting hydration. I appreciate the use of natural and non-toxic ingredients.
–Shahrzad Kahrobai
I really enjoyed using this lotion. I found a little product goes a long way given its lightweight consistency. The formula soaked into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, all while executing a luminous finish. This one will be taking up permanent residency in my cabinet! I value Dr. Hauschka’s commitment to the long-term support of farming communities and that they have created a strategy that provides a sustainable financial solution to those growers.
–Hannah Gay
Packaging feels very luxurious and heavy and the product is hydrating but still lightweight. Love that they’re committed to Fair Trade and care about looking after their local community.
–Madeleine Edwards
A delightfully light yet nourishing lotion which really lessens the look of my fine lines and makes my skin soft, without adding any oil. Now I’m in my late 30’s, I really can’t just skip the moisturiser, however finding one which feels really protective and yet doesn’t create congestion in my skin is so rare. This has earned a permanent place on my bathroom shelf.
