A holistic approach to beauty.
The Dr. Hauschka Skin Care line was introduced in 1967. The concept was and continues to be simple: infuse nature’s healing qualities into each preparation in order to stimulate the skin’s ability to find it’s way back into balanced health. Rather than suppressing symptoms, our preparations activate the skin’s impulses to heal itself. For example, treating dry skin both day and night with heavy creams and oils merely makes the skin dependent or lazy, thereby prolonging the problem. A Dr. Hauschka preparation encourages the skin to produce and retain its own oil and moisture...

Our skin is pretty smart.
It provides protection from the world around is and conveys information about our inner health and well-being. This fragile, yet vital organ, with functions as significant as our heart and lungs, is very much alive, and its role in our health cannot be overstated.
It’s not surprise that what we put on our skin can influence its condition and appearance. The reality is skin needs proper, daily care in order to thrive and radiate health. Dr. Hauschka Skin Care embraces the concept of "smart skin" and uses a holistic approach to restore and maintain our natural beauty.

Where science and spirit meet.
Dr. Hauschka Skin Care has long embraced a philosophy that recognizes nature’s healing forces. Our pure, therapeutic and luxurious preparations work in harmony with your skin, allowing its natural beauty to unfold. The result is skin that radiates with a healthy glow – like the morning light or the sky at dusk.
By combining the wisdom of science with the vital forces of plants and minerals, WALA Heilmittel, the manufacturer of Dr. Hauschka Skin Care, uses its pharmaceutical knowledge, state-of-the-art facilities and exquisite biodynamic gardens to create a line of skin care that is reliably pure, of the highest quality and in complete harmony with nature.
The garden soil used to cultivate Dr. Hauschka Skin Care plant ingredients is as vital assoil can be. Using biodynamic methods, WALA Heilmittel maintains over 150 healing plants that are tended to like children – taught to flourish, nurtured to become their best and protected with kind attention.
Biodynamic agriculture and a unique rhythmical processing method are two elements that make Dr. Hauschka Skin Care exceptional. Our plant ingredients are more nutritive, contain more vitamins and antioxidants and have greater therapeutic potential.
The incredible vitality of the WALA Heilmittel gardens transcends the physical beauty of each plant. Ultimately, natural beauty and vibrancy are bought directly to the skin.

Biodynamics
The 11 garden acres at WALA Heilmittel have been biodynamic for 45 years. Biodynamic agriculture was initiated by a group of farmers in the 1920s who were confronted with poor crop yields and deteriorated soil quality. To solve the problem, the farmers turned to Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner who presented suggestions for developing agricultural practices. These practices evolved into biodynamics: a thoughtful and practical form of farming that restores and revitalizes the soil.
Biodynamic agriculture is a holistic practice. It considers all living systems, from animals to the movements of the solar systems, as integral parts of a greater whole. Steiner discovered that the earth’s soil could be enlivened through human attentiveness and careful observation of nature’s rhythms.
At WALA, working hands replace mechanical equipment; the gardeners till the soil, turn the compost and harvest plants with loving attention that machinery cannot offer.
Specially prepared biodynamic solutions, similar to homeopathic preparations, enliven
the compost and soil and bring out the radiance in young plants. To protect maturing
plants, gardeners rely on ladybugs and other friendly insects rather than dangerous
pesticides. The objective is to create and maintain such a balanced, healthy ecosystems
that disease and pesky insects are kept at bay.
The rhythms of nature dictate planting and harvesting schedules; moon cycles and
seasonal cosmic influences play an important role in all aspects of the garden.
These biodynamic practices create healthier plants and heal the earth for generations to
come. The WALA Heilmittel gardens are both intense and beautiful. The process of creating
effective skin care begins in the gardens, but more importantly, the gardens act as a
catalyst, prompting us to reassess our relationship to nature, the world and the universe.
