Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If winter weather makes your skin feel as if you may be turning into a lizard, Dr Hauschka Rose Cream is definitely worth a test drive. Aimed, like all good beauty products, at prevention rather than covering up flaws, rose cream is formulated with 100 per cent natural ingredients, organically grown and "hand harvested at sunrise"; it has been awarded Die Grune Punkt, given in Germany only to the purest of products.
The cream contains extracts such as marshmallow, rose wax for protecting the skin and rose petals for harmonising and healing, and smells a bit as if you are about to rub the entire contents of your grandmother's rose garden into your face. But don't be discouraged; its thick creamy texture feels as if it can only do good. Made by the German company Wala Heilmittel, established in 1924, who excel in developing homeopathic remedies, Dr Hauschka has always seemed to take a back seat in comparison to some of the trendier natural brands such as Aveda and Origins. Maybe this is because of the simple packaging (which could be interpreted by some as drab) or the limited availability; or maybe, as with all good things, the cognoscenti just wanted to keep it secret.
Dr Hauschka Rose Cream, 30ml, pounds 12.95. (For nationwide stockists phone 01527 832 863).
