Brand

Dr. Hauschka

Dr. Hauschka was founded in 1967 by chemist Rudolf Hauschka and aesthetician Elisabeth Sigmund in Eckwalden, Germany. The brand is based on anthroposophic and holistic principles, using biodynamically grown botanical ingredients processed through a unique rhythmic manufacturing method that subjects plant extracts to alternating warming and cooling cycles over extended periods. The company grows many ingredients in its own biodynamic medicinal herb gardens. Dr. Hauschka's Rose Day Cream, reformulated minimally since the 1960s, remains a cult product. With 5 products across 4 categories averaging 82/100, the brand delivers strong scores that validate its unorthodox botanical approach.
