Hypericum Perforatum Extract: Biodynamically grown St Johns Wort is used for this oily extract, a plant with a natural affinity for the sunlight. It blossoms at midsummer and produces a deep red etheric oil. It has been used as a remedy since ancient times and is valued for antiviral and antiseptic properties. Shea (Butyrospermum Parkii) Butter: This is shea butter, derived from the nuts of the fruits of Karite trees, found particularly in African regions. Here, it has been widely used, with many different purposes. The oil has very good moisturising properties, making the skin smooth. It also has natural UV protection qualitites. Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil: This light green oil is rich in lecithin and vitamins; it nourishes dry skin and is obtained by cold expression then filtered.

Rose (Rosa Gallica) Petal Extract: Two forms of Rose Petal Extract are used in the Dr.Hauschka preparations, one is an extract from dried rose petals in almond oil and the other is a rhythmitised watery extraction of Rose petals. These extracts help with the toning of our skin. Rose (Rosa Canina) Hip Extract: Biodynamically grown and wild harvested rose hips are prepared in rhythmical form for their harmonising qualities. Lanolin: This is wool fat. Non chemically treated sheep’s wool is used. The wool is washed with soap and purified with steam. Lecithin: This is an emulsifier and it helps moisturise dry skin as it affects the fluid content of the keratinised cells in the epidermis. Instructions for Use: Squeeze a small amount of Rose Day Cream onto the palm of your hand and warm it by pressing your hands together. This makes it easier to apply. Gently apply to face, neck and earlobes. Hints and Tips: Rose Day Cream can be used on all skin types in very cold weather. Mix with a couple of drops of Translucent Bronze Concentrate for a tinted moisturiser. If your skin tends to be very dry, apply Toned Day Cream after the Rose Day Cream for extra protection. Apply a light dusting of Translucent Face Powder - Loose to seal moisture in, and to set make up. Rose Day Cream is wonderful as a baby care moisturiser. Rose Day Cream, or indeed any of the Dr.Hauschka moisturisers, should not be used at night time as the skin uses this period to excrete toxins absorbed during the day - so any products that interfere with these natural processes should be avoided. Daily use of night creams can mean that the skin becomes dependant on an external source of moisture rather than producing its own. If your skin feels taut after cleansing in the evening, be patient. Wait 20-30 minutes and the skin will re-balance itself. Make sure that you are rinsing the Cleansing Cream off properly. If you have been using night creams for a long time, then your skin may need extra support in the changeover period to Dr.Hauschka, and in this case, we recommend the Rhythmic Night Conditioner ampoules.
