Almond meal has exceptional powers to bind grime and cleanses the face right down to the pores. But because pure almond meal just runs through the fingers, Elisabeth Sigmund suggested a formulation that contains the whole ground almond in combination with almond oil, wheat-germ oil and medicinal herbs which have beneficial effects on the skin, such as kidney vetch, chamomile and calendula. This gave rise to a creamy paste: Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream. When developing her skin care products, Elisabeth Sigmund thought back to her mother’s cosmetics in Vienna. Her mother had a little porcelain jar containing an almond paste for cleansing. Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream contains additional skin-strengthening medicinal herbs and also has lipid-replenishing action. It is tenside-free and has a particularly efficient cleansing action. Kidney vetch, jojoba oil, almond oil, apricot kernel oil, extracts of oats, rye and wheat were included in the likewise tenside-free Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Milk, for use on the most sensitive faces and particularly for make-up removal. And when followed by cleansing with Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream it leaves the skin clear right down to the pores.
