Are Dr. Hauschka products tested on animals?
Dr. Hauschka Cosmetics are manufactured at WALA Heilmittel GmbH. WALA Heilmittel’s experience of using natural substances to provide natural care through the biodynamic cultivation of medicinal plants extends back to 1935. The responsible and sustainable development of their products is something that has been at the core of Dr. Hauschka Cosmetics ever since the beginning, back in 1967. Naturally, this means that no animal tests have ever been carried out either by or on behalf of Dr. Hauschka Cosmetics since our founding in 1967.
Why do some of the Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products contain alcohol?
A water/alcohol mixture is used as extraction medium for many of the herbs used in skin care. Alcohol is therefore contained in many Dr. Hauschka products too. It also helps to dispense with synthetic, chemical preservatives.
Do Dr. Hauschka skin care products contain parabens?
Dr. Hauschka has always deliberately refrained from using synthetic preservatives such as parabens and phenoxyethanol.
What is the pH value of Dr. Hauschka skin care products?
Dr. Hauschka skin care products have slightly acidic to neutral pH values. The formulations are designed to support and maintain the physiological skin barriers. Products for oil-free night-time skin care (Conditioners) and the Dr. Hauschka Intensive Treatments, on the other hand, are slightly alkaline so as to support the skin’s overnight excretory processes.
How is the fragrance of the Dr. Hauschka products created?
The products’ fragrances are solely created using compositions of natural essential oils. These are often made up of several hundred naturally combined components and give each product a characteristic, complex fragrance. The individual essential oils used are not usually stated on the Dr. Hauschka products, because knowledge of the mixtures we have developed is particularly valuable and worthy of protection. The fact that products are fragranced can be seen from the legally required collective term ‘Parfum’ in the ingredients list. As the same term ‘Parfum’ can also be used for synthetic fragrances, we would like to emphasise once more that Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products do not use any synthetic fragrances, only natural components.
What proportion of the raw materials used by Dr. Hauschka are organic?
Dr Hauschka use sustainable raw materials, water and minerals for Dr. Hauschka products. Water and minerals are natural products, but, unlike plants cannot be certified as grown in a controlled organic environment. They constantly strive to increase the proportion of organic sustainable raw materials. The proportion of sustainable raw materials which are cultivated under dynamic or controlled organic conditions is currently more than 80 percent.
Which Dr. Hauschka products are vegan?

The following are some ingredients originating from animals: beeswax, propolis, honey, silk powder and woolwax.
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).
Does Dr. Hauschka have environmental certificates?
