organic, biodynamic & fairly-Traded Products
At Eviama Life Spa, we research every product we offer. Increasingly, the market is flooded with “healthy, natural” personal care that is not entirely healthy or natural. We prefer products that contain plant materials from wild-crafted, biodynamic and organic sources but do not contain parabens, petroleum derivatives, synthetic scents, GMO’s, etc. Please note that we avoid formulas which may contain bleached, refined and superheated oils that are basically lifeless (and very cheap for manufacturing). We are discerning and we’re serious about the impact ingredients will have on your skin, your health and the earth, once you wash them down the drain.
Many of the skin care and body care products used during our day spa treatments can be purchased in our spa boutique - perfect for babies, seniors and everyone in between. Additionally, we seek out beautiful gifts to fill our boutique that have social or environmental merit – earth-friendly, fairly traded, woman-made, or made to support a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
The skin is a complex and vital organ. It’s no surprise, then, how well the skin responds to Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. Created in the 1960s by Dr. Rudolf Hauschka and esthetician Elisabeth Sigmund, the Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products are complex and vital preparations that stimulate health and balance in the skin.
Dr.Hauschka Skin Care is a holistic system. While other companies promise instant gratification, Dr.Hauschka Skin Care promises healthy, glowing skin for the long term. As do our other vital organs, skin has intelligence inherent to its design. Each product is carefully formulated to address the skin as a system of structures and processes rather than a one-sided, superficial shell. Whether your concerns are caused by crow’s feet, sun damage, premature aging, painful acne or oversensitive skin, there is a program within the Dr.Hauschka family of plant-rich potions that will restore optimal health. You can’t help but smile unabashedly at the world!
One facet of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care that distinguishes it from other cosmetics is scrupulous attention to quality and detail. The line is manufactured by WALA Heilmittel, a holistic pharmaceutical company founded by Dr.Hauschka in southern Germany more than fifty years ago. WALA produces internal, homeopathic remedies as well as skin care products - all according to pharmaceutical standards. This is rare in the personal care product industry!

The purity of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care is unrivaled in the cosmetics world. Free from artificial colors, fragrances, preservatives and GMOs, all Dr.Hauschka products carry the Certified Natural Cosmetic seal, awarded by a German committee called BDIH. Since the term natural is a widely used (and misused) in marketing, BDIH was instituted to establish more accurate criteria for natural cosmetics.
Another phenomenal feature of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care is the vitality of the plant extracts that make up each preparation. WALA is the home of 11 acres of biodynamic gardens. It is from these gardens that 75% of the plants used in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products are harvested. Biodynamics is a system of organic agriculture that supports and enhances a plant’s vital forces. These forces (called prana or chi in other traditions), along with thousands of beneficial phytochemicals in plants stimulate vital processes and healing in the human body. Plants at WALA are harvested by hand and led through a rhythmic processing method that fortifies and preserves their living quality. This labor-intensive method, unique to WALA, stabilizes extracts and finished formulas so that synthetic preservatives are unnecessary. Rhythmic processing is at the heart of Dr.Hauschka’s work.
At Eviama, we have extremely high standards for your skin.
The Dr.Hauschka products have what it takes to transform the condition of your skin, nurturing it toward a state of healthy balance and authentic beauty. The next time you’re in, ask for The Complete Guide to Holistic Skin Care, a publication of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. And don’t be shy: ask questions! We’d love to re-introduce you to self-care.
