Dr.Hauschka Skin Care since 1967
Elisabeth Sigmund
Elisabeth Sigmund (born on 25 October 1914 in Vienna) is the mother of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. She was drawn to cosmetics very early on in life. After graduating from school in 1933 and studying medicine for two semesters in Vienna, she joined the cosmetics firm To Kalón in Vienna where she trained to become an esthetician. Between 1933 and 1939 she spent three months in Paris attending classes at a cosmetics laboratory and worked at the cosmetics salon Pessl in Vienna, partly as intern partly as paid employee. However, she disagreed with the conventional treatment methods used there, such as facial massage, for example, and therefore decided to leave. Her journey to her own cosmetics line and treatment had begun.
