Statement on animal testing
Statement on animal testing
Dr. Hauschka Cosmetics are manufactured at WALA Heilmittel GmbH. WALA Heilmittel’s experience of using natural substances to provide natural care through the biodynamic cultivation of medicinal plants extends back to 1935. The responsible and sustainable development of our products is something that has been at the
core of Dr.Hauschka Cosmetics ever since the beginning, back in 1967. Today we are proud to continue
to carry this philosophy forward.
Naturally, this means that no animal tests have ever been carried out either by or on behalf of
Dr.Hauschka Cosmetics since our founding in 1967.
While Dr. Hauschka has always foregone animal testing, the EU Cosmetics Regulation represented a decisive step forward for animal welfare in the entire cosmetics industry: As a result, tests on animals for cosmetic products and the raw materials required to create them have been completely banned in the EU since 11 March 2013. This is a legally binding ban, i.e. all cosmetics manufacturers within the EU must comply with this legislation.
To produce Dr. Hauschka’s natural cosmetics, we rely on traditional raw materials of natural origin.
