Our Review
Dr.Hauschka cosmetics are my top choice for makeup. They're pure and they infuse each base with healing and nurturing organic plant oils and extracts. So not only do they enhance your look, they benefit the skin as well.
Most 'mineral makeup' I see in stores has as many unsavory chemicals as traditional makeup. Dr.Hauschka's eye shadow contain ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Rose Petal extract, Anthyllis extract, Witch Hazel extract and Black tea extract which nurture the sensitive skin around the eyes making them great for people with sensitivities to other makeup.
My favorite ingredient: Silk
Dr.Hauschka's Eyeshadow Solos are also enriched with real Silk, as are a number of their other makeup items. Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner referred to the silk as ''spun light'. Cradled in warmth and sheltered against outside influences, the lowly worm transforms and emerges from darkness as a creature of air and light.'
The composition of silk is very similar to human skin. The amino acids in silk proteins are nearly the same as those found in skin proteins. Silk balances pH and acts as a gentle antibacterial agent.
Recently, Dr.Hauschka replaced their eye shadow duo sets with nine individual colors that can be mixed and matched to highlight, define and beautify.

Reviews
“Beautiful Colors
The colors in this line are truly unique. Because I love the Dr. Hauschka philosophy and line and because the colors are truly one of a kind I use these eye-shadows despite their short comings. They can be too soft so you have to be careful on application to apply smoothly and prevent powdery residue on your cheeks from “fall out”. Dr. Hauschka also could work on increasing their staying powder. They can’t compete with the staying power of main line mineral make-up. You have to reapply during the day to maintain color intensity. That said I use 3 almost every day with the brown liquid liner and mascara. The combo makes my blue eyes pop. The 7 is such a unique purple it is a must have and it looks great on redheads.
