Natural and organic skincare company Dr. Hauschka has just introduced four tasty new hair care products: Macadamia and Orange Shampoo for normal hair, Nasturtium and Lemon Shampoo for normal to oily hair, Apricot and Sea Buckthorn Shampoo for dry and damaged hair, and Jojoba and Marshmallow Conditioner for intensive daily conditioning treatment. The Germany-based firm only uses herbal extracts from plants grown organically or collected in the wild to create each product—without making sacrifices for scent, lather, or consistency. Plus, the quality seal of the German BDIH is stamped on every bottle. What does that mean? Full ingredient disclosure and no synthetic chemical colors, aromas, preservatives, silicones, paraffins, petroleum products, or animal testing. Prices start at 9€...a bit luxurious, but totally worth it. So far, these products have just hit Europe—no word on when they will launch in the U.S. More info on where to find them is here and here. ::Dr. Hauschka (German site, also in English) ::Dr. Hauschka (English site) via ECO-world.de

I LOVE Hauschka products, I started using the entire skincare line back in 1999 and I have clear beautiful skin (and this is coming from someone that didn't have such clear skin in my early 20s). I'm so excited to hear about thier new organic line, and when I'm in Germany this September, I'll make sure to look out for it. Thank you!

Good news! - the more organic stuff we have - the better! Is Dr. Hauschka planning to launch a shampoo for treating dandruff?

It is important for VEGANS to be aware that these products are not free of animal products. For example, the shampoo contains hydrolyzed milk protein. The Haushka line of products is certified natural by the german BIDH certification association which states, that "It is prohibited to use raw materials obtained from dead vertebrates (e.g. spermaceti, terrapin oil, mink oil, marmot fat, animal fats, animal collagen or living cells).", meaning that anything that comes from a living animal is allowed, regardless of the conditions under which such animal was raised.
