Use in Skin Care and Remedies

For processing in skin care products buckwheat is harvested before it is ripe, when the plant is still in full bloom and before it produces fruits. The best time for harvest is around the summer solstice on 21 June, when the flavonoid content is at its highest.
The buckwheat used in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products is obtained from organic cultivation in Germany. The dried plant (the so-called crude drug) provides skin-protecting, cell-strengthening and revitalising extracts for use in Dr.Hauschka Soothing Mask.
