Frequently asked questions ...

about the sage SILVER-SHINE LINE.

How quickly do the purple pigments in the Sage SILVER-SHINE TREATMENT wash out again?

If the yellow hues have been neutralised once and the treatment is applied once to twice a week, the product has a lasting effect and the brassiness will not come back as quickly. Using the treatment once or twice a week is sufficient.

Can the Sage SILVER-SHINE TREATMENT residue stain my towels?

It may stain your towels. However, the colour is water-soluble and will wash out the next time you wash your towels.

What happens if I leave the Sage SILVER-SHINE TREATMENT on my hair for longer than 10 minutes?

Leaving the treatment on your hair longer will not negatively affect the colour. Some test subjects have even left the Sage SILVER-SHINE TREATMENT on their hair overnight. Leaving it on for longer has no negative consequences.

Can I apply the Sage SILVER-SHINE TREATMENT to my scalp too?

As a rule, the treatment can also be applied to the scalp. However, it’s designed for use on the ends of the hair. Used elsewhere, it can have a negative impact, especially if you have thinner hair.

about the ingredients in the sage SILVER-SHINE LINE

How does the Sage SILVER-SHINE TREATMENT differ from other hair treatments using plant-based keratin?

Plant-based keratin is used in an increasing number of hair care products. However, the combination of purple pigments that target yellow hues and our high-quality herbal extracts makes our product unique.

I’ve been using the Sage SILVER-SHINE SHAMPOO and RINSE CONDITIONER for a long time. How will the change of recipe affect the colour and consistency?

The colour and consistency of the Sage SILVER-SHINE SHAMPOO and RINSE CONDITIONER remain the same. You might notice a slight difference in the scent.

What is plant-based keratin made from?

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

We only use the best ingredients in our Sage SILVER-SHINE LINE. Accordingly, some of the herbs we use are actually grown in our own herb garden. We do, however, prefer to source our herbs through partnerships with local Swiss contract farmers or gather them in the wild. To meet our promise to supply top-quality products, we procure certain raw materials from growing regions that are ideal from a climate perspective, including other European countries. Our suppliers adhere to specific provisions with regard to the quality, manufacture and traceability of raw materials. When it comes to selecting the right ingredients, we adhere to the highest quality standards.

about RAUSCH.

What makes RAUSCH so special?

At RAUSCH, we have been cultivating our herbal expertise since 1890. The main active ingredients in all of our products are natural herbal extracts that have been gently and carefully extracted using our own in-house methods. These ingredients are combined in optimum, complementary concentrations and are used exclusively for our hair and body care products.

Can the various RAUSCH products be used in combination with each other?

The products can indeed be used in combination with each other, meaning you can put together your own individual care ritual.

How effective are RAUSCH products?

We use the latest scientific findings to develop our highly effective cosmetic products. We guarantee consistent quality in terms of scent, colour, the feel of the hair and skin, combability, suppleness and shine. Our outstanding products are highly effective, as has been proven in multiple professional studies conducted by renowned independent testing institutes.

How sustainable is RAUSCH?

The knowledge that in addition to making use of nature, we also need to protect it, is at the heart of our principles. Sustainability affects us all. And while we at RAUSCH are not yet perfect, we are continually working to improve. We care about making our products as sustainable as possible and actively contributing to environmental protection. This means we work with regional suppliers and service providers wherever possible in order to keep our environmental footprint to a minimum across the whole value chain. We will continue to convert our shampoos into sustainable rPET bottles. We are offering a refill system for our hairsprays in order to reduce plastic waste. And in an effort to increase biodiversity at the local level, we have created a home for numerous insects in our herb garden, which has been left in its natural state.

Are RAUSCH products tested on animals?

In its more than 130-year company history, RAUSCH has never tested its products on animals. The efficacy and tolerability of our hair and body care products is only ever tested on voluntary test subjects.

Where are the products manufactured?

RAUSCH’s roots are deeply embedded in Switzerland and the Lake Constance region. We develop, process and manufacture our products exclusively in Kreuzlingen, Thurgau, where we supply them to over 22 countries around the world.

How many natural ingredients are used in RAUSCH products?

At RAUSCH, we develop all our products with the aim of using as many natural ingredients and as few additives as possible. In order to improve factors such as the tolerability of our products, it is sometimes necessary to use nature-identical or synthetic ingredients. In these cases, we exclusively use safe ingredients that do not negatively impact people or the environment. As a result, we are a manufacturer of near-natural hair and body care products rather than natural cosmetics.
