Dr. Hauschka

Dr. Hauschka Trial Care Kits

Why It's Good:

Dr. Hauschka products are formulated to support your skin's biological functions and restore its natural radiance (rather than simply address the oh-so-annoying symptoms). Using them is so much cheaper—and a lot more fun—than going to a derm.

Why It's Green:

Most of the ingredients and botanicals found in Dr. Hauschka products are grown organically and come from the company's own biodynamic gardens. The products contain no chemical additives or preservatives and were not tested on animals. Dr. Hauschka is donating 25% of sales of these three trial kits to Heifer International, a hunger relief organization that helps millions of people in more than 125 countries, including the U.S., to build sustainable communities, while caring for the earth.

The Perfect Beauty Kit

We're faithful fans of Dr. Hauschka products (and we've heard Madonna, Jennifer Aniston, Katie Holmes, and Cate Blanchett are too). They're luxurious, they smell great, and they make our complexions glow. Plus, the brand's a no-brainer in this day and age of label-scrutinizing—you can always count on it to contain only the safest, most skin-friendly ingredients. If you haven't yet tried Dr. Hauschka, it's the perfect time to start. The company is now donating 25% of sales of its popular aromatherapy, face, and body care trial kits (we love to use them at the gym or on weekend getaways) to Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that helps end hunger around the world by training people in environmentally sound agriculture and livestock development, and giving gifts of livestock (goats, water buffalo, heifers) so that families and communities can become self-reliant. Each Dr. Hauschka kit is perfect for newbies—packed with mini sizes of the Dr. Hauschka products that are suited for your skin type such as Cleansing Clay (for oily types) or Quince Day Cream (for dry). Test 'em out and see which ones you like best. If helping to feed millions of people around the world holds no sway for you, we can only ask you this: Have you checked out Cate Blanchett's skin lately?
