While activists, scientists, and the general public are beginning to see the importance of living organically, one cosmetic skin care brand has been aware of this for the past 40+ years. This brand is the increasingly well-known Dr. Hauschka.

The beauty (pardon the pun) of this cosmetics brand is that it only uses natural organic ingredients for formulating its products. Dr. Hauschka maintains a base of over one hundred biodynamic plants in the gardens that it owns, so they have a very good control on what goes into their cosmetics. This factor alone adds a lot of value to these products, as you can be rest-assured that Dr. Hauschka cosmetics are of the highest quality around.

Ingredient List

The library of ingredients that are employed in the Dr. Hauschka skin care brand is quite breath-taking. Here is only a sample of the many elements that go into these goods:

- Cichorium Intybus (Chicory) Extract
- Lysolecithin (Hydrolyzed Lecithin)
- Benzyl Salicylate
- Anagallis Arvensis Extract
- Glyceryl Laurate
- Zinc Ricinoleate
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower Wax

Nothing beats some high-quality holistic remedies such as the ones offered by Dr. Hauschka.

This is a fitting name as today, Weleda only uses the best ingredients and harvesting at optimal times during the year for retaining the healing properties of its ingredients.

Weleda’s motto:

Mineral Makeup – The Hottest Trend In Cosmetics

When you first hear the term “mineral makeup” you might be conjuring up images of solid jagged rocks that glimmer and sparkle in the light. That isn’t a surprise, as even Wikipedia says that a mineral is a solid with properties of a crystal. It also says that minerals occur naturally, although some minerals (such as quartz) are rare and have only been found in a few places around the world.

But when it comes to minerals and their place in our cosmetics, what you should be thinking of nature, organic, and super clean. Mineral makeup is makeup that are created from mineral and plant elements. These differ from the usual garbage chemicals that you find in most of today’s cosmetic products.

By having a stringent list of natural plant ingredients, we can be assured that the body lotions that we apply to ourselves are in fact clean, and free from industrial pollutants. These man-made pollutants contaminate the world in which we live, and are harmful to living organisms such as ourselves.

Given that dangerous chemicals have made their way into our water, food, and makeup, we need to be extra vigilante in staying healthy – which explains this growing trend in the world of cosmetics.
