Dr Hauschka Ingredients

Holistic Quality
Quality at WALA is characterised by the interplay of 'Tradition' with modern state-of-the-art production processes.

Plants from WALA's own Biodynamic medicinal herb garden are processed by hand with care and deliberation and combined with raw materials of supreme quality to produce highest grade medicines and skin care products. In order to maintain consistent quality and availability, Biodynamic farming projects are initiated and supported worldwide by WALA.

Dr Hauschka Skin Care products contain no synthetic fragrances and are free from synthetic preservatives and colouring agents. They contain only precious oils and essences from plants grown Biodynamically, Organically or harvested in the wild. Regular in-house controls of the raw materials ensure the highest quality hygiene standards.

Dr Hauschka Skin Care preparations carry the certification mark Kontrollierte Natur-Kosmetik (Certified Natural Skin Care product), which is awarded on the basis of the strict criteria of the BDIH guidelines (Bundesverband Deutscher Industrie und Handelsunternehmen - German Federal Association of Industrial and Commercial Companies) and guaranteed by the independent test institute Ecocontrol. For BDIH certification the origin, collection and processing of the raw materials used are evaluated. As far as possible, all the raw materials are to be of plant or mineral origin and organically grown. In creating Dr Hauschka Skin Care, WALA even refrains from using any of the few nature-identical preservatives permitted by BDIH. When obtaining the raw materials, care is taken to interfere as little as possible with Nature and to not disturb other life forms. WALA strongly opposes the use of animal testing. Maintaining these high quality standards has been the honourable mission of WALA for over 37 years.

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 painstakingly selected for its particular effects and its interaction with the others. Hauschka manufacturer WALA Heilmittel has been working with healing plant and mineral extracts since the 1940s. 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.

The source of each ingredient is almost equally as important. WALA Heilmittel supports sustainable, ecologically sound agricultural practices by obtaining as many of their ingredients as possible from certified Biodynamic and organic sources. The vast majority of ingredients in the Dr Hauschka Skin Care line are Biodynamically and organically grown and harvested, 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.
