Dr. Hauschka- Quince Day Cream

Hello, toxin-free beauty lovers! My name is Becky, and I’m very excited to be contributing to this blog. I’m becoming more passionate about organic and all-natural health and beauty with each passing day, and with each excellent product I test. The first product I’ll review is one from a company I strongly support.

An Earth-Friendly Company: Dr. Hauschka skincare was founded in Germany, with the idea that nature and rhythm can create the most beneficial skincare possible. The majority of their products use organically grown rose petals, which means that everything has a lovely, natural scent. They focus on sustainable agricultural practices, and all of their products are certified as all-natural. I hope to visit the farm and research site while I am living in Germany; if I do, I will certainly share the experience here!

My skin tends to be combination, leaning toward dryness in the winter months. I also have problems with rosacea, and I am constantly looking for a great moisturizer that will keep my face soft without causing irritation, extra redness, and those dreaded break-outs. Dr. Hauschka’s Quince Day Cream is the perfect weight for all seasons. It absorbs quickly, but does not seem to disappear midday- my face stays smooth and soft from morning to nighttime. The absence of chemical coloring and scenting means that my very sensitive skin does not end up looking more red and angry; in fact, the smooth day cream calms my rosacea. I find the quince scent to be wonderful, although at first I was a bit skeptical. I believe it is a scent you can grow to adore. While the Quince Day Cream will cost you a bit more than some other moisturizers on the market, I believe that this all-natural gem is well worth the price. I highly recommend this product, and suggest that you look for the Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream or Rose Day Cream Light for variations and different consistencies.
