Why you need: the Dr.Hauschka Body Moisturiser collection

Last week I was lucky enough to be a guest at a very special Dr.Hauschka Customer Event, The Secret of Natural Fragrances with Jorg Zimmermann, Dr.Hauschka Perfumer. The setting was the Member’s Lounge at Auckland’s Art Gallery, and the occasion was the launch of their newly formulated, absolutely beautiful body moisturiser collection.

Jorg was an absolute delight to hear speak, as well as a mine of information about all things fragrance. He also described in great detail how he went about creating the fragrances for each of the moisturisers, and I just couldn’t get enough of playing with the various ingredient combinations and falling in love with the formulas.

The first fragrance that I fell in love with was the one that accompanies the Lavender Sandalwood Body Moisturiser, which is packed full of ingredients to promote harmony and relaxation, as well as “maintain, replenish and balance” your skin’s moisture levels, leaves your skin feeling smooth and protected. The lotion is rich but non-greasy, and the fragrance perfect for times when you need to de-stress and unwind (hello Christmas!). Extracts of Lemon Balm and Wood Sorrel balance and renew, while fine oils of Macadamia nut, Apricot kernel and Avocado support and fortify your skin's own protective barrier. Your skin looks and feels soft, supple and smooth.

Speaking of Christmas, the Almond Body Moisturiser smells just like it, and is the perfect choice to  fortify dry, sensitive skin. They say it’s the pick for people “that truly love being cuddled up with a blanket and a good book, who enjoy good music, good company and good food”, and it has an aroma that's reminiscent of Jorg’s own occasional Saturday morning treat, an almond croissant!

The divine Rose Body Moisturiser strengthens even sensitive skin, providing intensive care and highly suitable for even children‘s delicate skin. Rose wax, Rose essential oil and sumptuous extracts of Wild Rose hips and Rose petals restore harmony, whilst Shea butter from the Dr.Hauschka initiated organic wild harvesting project in Burkina Faso combines with Almond oil and Jojoba oil to provide intensive, nourishing care. It is definitely the pick for when you’re wanting to feel cared for, and would make a great gift.

Last but not least, the Lemon Lemongrass and Quince Body Moisturisers are a great choice for summer as they are light, invigoration and sunny, and are perfect for post-gym and anytime you’re feeling like a tropical escape.

But enough raving – you really have to try these. Get into your nearest stockist and get lathering now!
