Biodynamic Plant-based Skin Care Just What the Doctor Ordered
What if the real remedy for healthy, resilient skin could be found right in your garden? And what if helping heal your skin also helped heal the environment - and your community - in the process?
Dr. Hauschka Skin Care preparations vow to give you the best of both worlds with its plant-based healing remedies.
Praised by real women alongside medical estheticians worldwide, Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products are made from biodynamically, organically-grown plant extracts, without using alcohol or artificial preservatives. According to the company, biodynamics is “a holistic, sustainable form of agriculture that takes into account everything from the cycles of the moon and stars to the soil, plants, animals and people, with the ultimate goal of making each garden or farm a healthy self-sustaining ecosystem.” The products are certified by the German association BDIH, whose “Guidelines for Natural Cosmetics” apply stringent standards to ensure natural purity and quality.
Dr. Rudolf Hauschka and pioneering esthetician Elisabeth Sigmund founded the brand in 1967 under a holistic approach to skin care, working with nature’s rhythms to sustain harmony. The company honors that tradition today, following a holistic approach towards its products, treatment methods and business practices.
This view extends beyond requiring eco-friendly packaging, harvesting from ecologically-sound sources and supporting international fair trade initiatives (all of which the company does). It also means the company develops formulations by selecting each ingredient based on its individual effects, how it interacts with others, and its relationship with skin and overall health.
But does it work?
Anne Roche, a medical esthetician for the Carriage House Salon in Cambridge, Mass. with more than a decade of experience, believes Dr. Hauschka Skin Care is the best line on the market.
“It’s healthy for your skin, healthy for your body - and it works!”
Roche particularly appreciates the non-invasive, gentle cleansing technique encouraged in the Hauschka “press and roll” method, where the product is “pressed” into the skin rather than applied in a typical scrubbing manner.
“Think of your skin as a silk blouse. Would you scrub it really hard and throw it in hot water? Just like a fine quality fabric, if you treat it right, it will last forever.”
While Hollywood celebrities like Julia Roberts propelled Dr. Hauschka into the spotlight, women across the nation are discovering the benefits for themselves.
Robin Lapidus, director of events and marketing at the Harvard Square Business Association, swears by Dr. Hauschka ever since she was first introduced to the line about five years ago.
“I’ve tried a lot of different products and a lot of different facials,” she said. “After Dr. Haushcka, there’s no turning back.”
Lapidus contends the brand’s holistic approach speaks to everyone.
“I wear make-up every day, and I’m not really an ‘earthy’ person,” she said. “But the rhythmic concept makes a lot of sense to me - it’s a common sense product.”
