Questions about products

 

What kind of products does Dr. Hauschka Skin Care make?

Dr. Hauschka Skin Care makes a wide range of personal care products and cosmetics:

Cleansing Cream, Soothing Cleansing Milk or Cleansing Balm: When should I use which one?

Cleansing Cream - a composition of almond meal and medicinal herbs for daily use – is the gentle cleanser for all skin states. It has skin-strengthening and moisturising properties and stimulates the skin's natural self-cleansing powers. Can be used mornings and evenings.

Soothing Cleansing Milk - a tenside-free, mildly replenishing cleansing emulsion specially for delicate, dry and sensitive skin. Can also be used as make-up remover for all skin states.

Cleansing Balm - Cleansing Balm thoroughly removes dirt and make-up from the skin and preserves the skin’s oil and moisture production. The light gel-to-milk formulation is suitable for any skin condition, even for those with a beard. It leaves the skin feeling nourished, radiant and refreshed.

When should I use Facial Toner and when is Clarifying Toner more appropriate? When should I start using Regenerating Serum?

Facial Toner - a basic toner that supports normal, dry or sensitive skin and skin in need of regeneration.

Clarifying Toner - a special herbal lotion that regulates blemished, greasy, large-pored skin prone to inflammation.

Spray the skin with the appropriate toner in the morning after cleansing and before applying your regular day-care product. Apply the toner again in the evening after cleansing unless you are using Renewing Night Conditioner, in which case you should omit the toner in the evening and apply Renewing Night Conditioner instead.

Regenerating Serum - an oil-free day and night care product that meets the needs of demanding, mature skin. The serum supports the moisture-binding capacity of the skin, strengthens and vitalises the functions of mature, demanding skin. Apply in the morning to the cleansed skin before applying your day care product. Use in the evening as oil-free night care after a course of treatment with Renewing Night Conditioner.

Why is there no Dr. Hauschka night cream?

The Dr. Hauschka oil-free night care regime supports the nocturnal metabolism of the skin because this is the time when the skin's metabolic activity is at its maximum. Instead of burdening the natural elimination processes with oily skin care products, the Dr. Hauschka night care programme consists of products containing stimulating and regenerating plant essences. These allow the skin to breathe freely and overcome any weaknesses and imbalances. Healthy and beautiful skin is the result.

Dr. Hauschka skin care products for the night are:

What effect do the Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner and Sensitive Care Conditioner ampoules have on the skin?

The conditioners are oil-free intensive care products for the night which have a normalising action on the various skin states. We recommend using Renewing Night Conditioner or Sensitive Care Conditioner in the form of a 28-day course of treatment during which the Conditioner is applied to the face every evening after cleansing. Apply 2 ampoules each evening during the first 3 weeks and then just 1 ampoule per evening during the last week. The course of treatment can be repeated several times a year. The recommended number of treatments is one for every 10 years of your age (e.g. 3 treatments a year for someone aged 30).

When should I use Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner and when is Dr. Hauschka Sensitive Care Conditioner more appropriate?

Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner - advanced night care. Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner has a normalising action on skin states characterised by excessive dryness or oiliness or proneness to premature wrinkling or sensitivity. Its oil-free formula stimulates the skin's metabolic activity which is particularly pronounced at night. The natural skin functions are activated. Dry skin learns to produce and retain oil and moisture again. Sensitive skin is strengthened. In oily, blemished skin excessive production of oil and dead skin cells is reduced. Skin prone to premature wrinkling is given new tone and elasticity.

Dr. Hauschka Sensitive Care Conditioner – advanced care for sensitive skin. The valuable herbal extracts and minerals contained in dilute rhythmised form in Dr. Hauschka Sensitive Care Conditioner have a strengthening action on the skin.

Revitalising Mask
The harmonizing effect of the Dr. Hauschka Revitalising Mask makes it a suitable intensive care product for all skin conditions.

The rich mask restores elasticity and leaves the skin feeling smooth and fortified. The result is a soft, silky complexion.

With its moisture-balancing properties, the relaxing Dr. Hauschka Soothing Mask helps sensitive skin that is prone to reddening to regain its natural balance. The result: a healthy, even complexion – and a sense of inner well-being.

Hydrating Cream Mask
This moisture-balancing intensive care product preserves the skin's natural, protective hydrolipid mantle and restores life to dry, sensitive and mature skin in need of regeneration.

I wear contact lenses and have very sensitive eyes. Can I still use Dr. Hauschka Mascara?

Yes, the mascara is ophthalmologist tested and the choice of ingredients makes it very well tolerated and suitable for contact lens wearers.

Are Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products gluten free?

The only products with components that contain gluten are Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk and Nourishing Hair Conditioner. In the cases of wheat germ oil and wheat bran extract, however, all potentially allergenic protein compounds are almost entirely removed by the oil purification process and the preparation of the extract. We are therefore permitted to label Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products that contain these ingredients as gluten free (in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 828/2014).

Can Dr. Hauschka products also be used during pregnancy and when breastfeeding?

Dr. Hauschka products have a supportive effect during pregnancy and have been used safely and effectively for decades.
All ingredients in Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products are subjected to comprehensive tests prior to their market launch to ensure that they are safe for use on the skin. During these tests, the ability to use the products during pregnancy and while breastfeeding is also taken into account. The proper use of the skin care products during pregnancy is generally safe providing the user is not allergic to any of the ingredients. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please consult your therapist or midwife.

You can find more information about using our products during pregnancy here. Also see the Skin care regime for mothers.

Are Dr. Hauschka products expensive?

The recommended retail price of Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products is calculated on the basis of three different factors. First and foremost, the high quality standards with regard to the raw materials used, their origin and their properties. For example, WALA has launched a project in India to offer organic mango butter for the first time. This high level of quality and the support provided to local people are also reflected in the price of the products acquired from such projects. WALA is also an innovative company that is highly committed to research on ingredients. This acts as the Foundation for creating unique and customised formulations.

Finally, WALA firmly believes that responsible social and economic practices throughout the entire value-added chain form the basis for long-term sustainability. Farming projects with countries such as Burkino Faso, Ethiopia, Iran and Afghanistan are examples of such practices.
