| RAPESEED OIL (hydrogenated) |

| RASPBERRY SEED OIL |
| Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil | The raspberry is a relative of the rose. A fruity, fine oil with a high Vitamin E content is obtained from its seeds, which helps preserve the youthful look of the skin.

Numerous elongated florets are gathered in flower heads which are pollinated by long-tongued bumblebees. Red clover is particularly rich in isoflavones. These protect the red clover against predatory insects, but they also help skin prone to premature ageing. The red clover extract found in Dr. Hauschka Regenerating products for mature skin is prepared using our own special rhythmic process. |
