| ACEROLA Fruits, Dry extract |
| Malpighia Punicifolia (Acerola) Fruit Extract | Acerola is a native of the Mexican Yucatan peninsula. Its red, cherry-like fruits are very rich in Vitamin C. Extracts of acerola are used for their antioxidant, skin-protecting and fortifying properties. |
| ALCOHOL (Ethanol) |
| Alcohol | This alcohol is obtained by fermenting organically grown wheat. It helps eliminate the need for synthetic preservatives. In the preparation of aqueous-alcoholic WALA essences it enhances the dissolving power of the water. It tones and firms the skin. The amounts of alcohol used in the Dr.Hauschka products are regulated to prevent the skin drying out. |
| ALGINATE |
| Algin | Alginate is a gel-forming substance obtained from marine algae which stabilises soft creams and keeps the skin supple. |
| ALMOND MEAL |
| Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Meal | Almond meal is obtained when sweet almonds are pressed to obtain almond oil. Almond meal binds and removes dirt particles and waste products eliminated by the skin while stabilising its oil/moisture film. As a plant belonging to the rose family, the almond is one of the core plants of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. |
| ALMOND MILK |
| Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Alond) Seed Extract | The freshly produced almond milk has restructuring and nourishing properties. As a plant belonging to the rose family, the almond is one of the core plants of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. |
| ALMOND OIL |
| Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil | The skin readily absorbs this nurturing oil which makes it smooth and soft. As a plant belonging to the rose family, the almond is one of the core plants of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. We prepare several plant extracts with almond oil, using a special process. These extracts are incorporated into the formulas of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products. |
| ALOE Extract |
| Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract | Aloe is a plant known as a succulent – a specialist in dealing with hot climates whose leaves have a high capacity for storing water. The internal leaf fluid soothes the skin and regulates its moisture balance. The aloe extracts in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products are prepared using our own special rhythmic process. |
| ALUMINIUM OXIDE |
| Alumina | Aluminium is the third most common element in the earth's crust. Aluminium oxide serves as an insoluble carrier substance for a mineral pigment. |
| AMBER |
| Amber Powder | The name amber derives from ambergris, which is actually an oily, perfumed substance secreted by the sperm whale. This was often washed up on beaches on which amber was also found, causing some confusion. Amber is in fact fossil resin from prehistoric coniferous trees. In Germanic languages it is called 'burn-stone' (e.g. German Bernstein), because if heated it will soften and eventually burn. The Latin name for amber, succinum, means gum-stone and gives us the adjective succinic. |
| AMINO ACID FAT COMPOUND |
| Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate | Amino acids are the basis of all protein compounds. Fats form the power reserves of fruits and seeds. Amino acid fat compounds are mild, skin-friendly tensides. |
| AMYRIS OIL |
| Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil | Denaturant for Alcohol |
| ANTHYLLIS Extract |
| Anthyllis Vulneraria Extract | Kidney vetch is not thought to have attained importance in Germany until the 16th century. Because of its equilibrating effects on skin functions kidney vetch is a key plant in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care and is to be found in many of our face care preparations and decorative cosmetics. We prepare our own kidney vetch extracts, using special processes. |
| APPLE Flowers, Extract |
| Pyrus Malus (Apple) Flower Extract | In spring, the delicate white flowers of the apple tree spread their sweet-aromatic scent, before they metamorphose into the vital apple fruits during the summer. The gesture of the opening flowers also gives our skin the impulse to open for the night time processes. |
| APPLE WATER |
| Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water | The firm apple fruits store a large amount of moisture and vitality. The fruits are rich in nutrients and especially polyphenols, known for their anti-oxidative, skin-protecting properties. Apple hydrolates have refreshing and vitalizing properties. |
| APRICOT KERNEL OIL |
| Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil | Apricot kernel oil is obtained from the seeds of apricot fruits by mechanical pressing and filtration. It cares for the skin and makes it soft and supple. Using a special process we prepare several plant extracts with apricot kernel oil which are included in the formulas of the Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products. |
| ARGAN OIL |
| Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil | Argan oil is a nutritious oil from the seeds of the argan tree (Argania) which grows only in Morocco. Argan trees prevent the spread of the Sahara desert in Morocco. Careful harvesting of the nuts with a view to sustainability protects tree stocks. The oil cares for the skin and lends a sheen to lipsticks. |
