Almost all RAUSCH products are vegan. The only exceptions are our Amaranth SPLIT ENDS REPAIR CREAM, which contains beeswax, and our Egg-Oil NOURISHING SHAMPOO, which contains fresh egg yolk.

We use barn eggs from the EU for our Egg-Oil NOURISHING SHAMPOO.

Where do the herbs used come from, and what kind of farming criteria do they have to meet?

The herbs used in RAUSCH products come from growing regions around the world. Our raw materials are grown under strictly monitored conditions and selected with the utmost care. We closely analyse the quality of the herbs and check them for possible i

Are RAUSCH products biodegradable?

The question of biodegradability depends particularly on the type of surfactants used. We only use surfactants (cleansing substances) that are made from renewable raw materials. This means our RAUSCH shampoos and shower gels break down very easily in

We ourselves don’t use any mineral oil, but we cannot guarantee that mineral oil-based substances are not used in the preliminary stages of the production of raw materials.

Do RAUSCH products contain PEGs?

PEGs have been used in medicines (any ointment base) and cosmetic products for many years. Their use has therefore been tested and reviewed for a long time and found to be safe. Making sure our products are safe to use is our highest priority. We hav
