Dr. Hauschka

Dr. Hauschka is a natural cosmetics and skin care brand developed by WALA Heilmittel GmbH in Bad Boll/Eckwälden, Germany. Its first skin care products were introduced in 1967 through work by chemist Rudolf Hauschka and cosmetologist Elisabeth Sigmund. WALA began in 1935 and later added Dr. Hauschka skin care as a second business division alongside its medicines. Today the brand offers more than 170 products across facial care, body care and make-up.

Skin care, body care and make-up

The range includes facial products, body lotions and oils, shower and bath products, deodorants, hand care and decorative cosmetics. Customers can browse by product type or by skin care routine on the official site. The make-up range was introduced in 1999, and the company later expanded into Dr. Hauschka Med products. The current catalogue lets shoppers compare individual items and their directions for use. Product availability can vary by country and retailer.

Natural cosmetics and product development

Dr. Hauschka connects its skin care range with the work of Elisabeth Sigmund, whose formulations helped shape the original facial care products. WALA describes the brand as natural cosmetics and lists products certified to the NATRUE standard. The company says that its recipes use plant based preparations and that some manufacturing steps are still completed by hand at Eckwälden. These statements describe the maker's approach; customers should consult each product label for its ingredients, certification and instructions.

Made in Germany under foundation ownership

WALA Heilmittel GmbH is headquartered in Bad Boll/Eckwälden and has produced Dr. Hauschka products there for decades. WALA reports that the independent WALA Foundation has controlled the company since 1986. The foundation owned group has more than one thousand employees and exports to dozens of countries. This structure keeps the brand within a German company whose two divisions cover WALA Medicines and Dr. Hauschka Skin Care. Its official websites provide company information, product details and local shopping links.
