About Dr. Hauschka

Dr. Hauschka has been creating 100% natural, sustainable skincare since 1967. The entire range is inspired by the rhythms of nature, using biodynamic farming methods and trusting in nature as the source of each skincare product. Each of the high-quality ingredients used is hand harvested from Dr Hauschka’s bio-dynamic garden in Germany, where over 150 medicinal plant species grow and thrive to produce the skincare range.  Each product is formulated in the onsite laboratory, based on decades of research to ensure the highest medicinal standards.

The company’s rich heritage goes back to co-founder Elisabeth Sigmund, an esthetician who dedicated her life to understanding the skin and creating cosmetics that support, protect and nurture, using 100% natural ingredients. She played a key role in the development of Dr. Hauschka and her ideas still live on today.
