What makes RAUSCH products so unique? Natural ingredients make the difference In line with the "Back to nature" philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, we guarantee the maximum possible use of natural raw materials. Carefully hand-selected herbs are processed into valuable active ingredients using our own gentle methods. The extracts mature over several months in the RAUSCH cellars, in the same way as high-quality wine. KräutersackThe right herbs, in the right combination and in the right quantities make the RAUSCH herbal hair and skincare system a unique product. Proven since 1890 For almost 125 years we have researched and used the power of herbs in order to produce high-quality, innovative and natural products for complete hair and bodycare. All plants are produced using controlled cultivation methods. They are hand-sorted and developed into pure, high-quality extracts using sophisticated in-house techniques. Kräuter Switching to RAUSCH natural haircare products Switching from standard commercial haircare products to the natural RAUSCH haircare system means making a long-term change. It is therefore important to give your hair and yourself time to adjust. A hair cycle takes up to three months to complete. This can result in your hair initially feeling a bit duller and drier. However, with a bit of patience this changeover period is soon over. RAUSCH products are also extremely rich and you only for instance need a pea-size amount of shampoo for medium-length hair. RAUSCH quality products are available in all pharmacies, drugstores and in selected department stores.

which can be described as natural cortisone (phytocortisone).
