Where Tata Harper’s Magic Happens

Dad Harper famously does most of the production for his all-natural clean skin care on his farm in Vermont, where he lived until recently. When the single mom and her family moved south to Connecticut (the farm is busy as always producing products, and the family still often stays there), she set out to redecorate her new space – with special attention to the deliberately expanded bathroom space. “I have a home office in another part of the house,” she says. “But that’s where the real research continues!”

It’s a private space accessed through Harper’s bedroom and is full of light from huge windows, with trees in front. “Natural light is important, and so is the feeling of touching nature,” she says. Harper has charted the spaces according to her routines, so it’s a remarkable sense of lightness all the time. “Although it serves me as a lab, this is a standstill,” she says. “I really relax here and I get the best ideas when I’m in that state.”

It starts in the shower with a hair routine

Like many of us, Harper says her best ideas come when she takes a shower, in a large hallway stocked with Grown Alchemist and Sangre de Fruta hair products (there’s also a scalp scrub tub) that stands right behind the window- a ring bath and meditation space. “When I’m most rested, I can solve many problems,” she says.

“I love both shampoo and conditioner.”

Scalp care

Harper believes that massaging the scalp can help hair health, so he focuses on that – in the shower and out.

The best smart storm in the shower: Superkind

One of Harper’s best ideas recently was a line for sensitive skin full of active ingredients, aptly named Superkind. “So much of what is offered for reactive skin is about what it is not in that, ”she explains. “Superkind are amazing ingredients that really work – whether your skin is sensitive or not. Of course, we also removed all the insulting ingredients, but we replaced them with powerful ingredients that do not irritate the skin and act synergistically to keep the skin calm. “

Dream skin washbasin

Much of the skin care – existing and potential future wonders of Tata Harper’s skin – is located along the double sink area. “All the cleansing, peeling and experimentation continues here,” she says. “There’s a big mirror, some hair ties – you can just give yourself a complete treatment.”

“I always exfoliate my skin in the morning with a regenerating cleanser,” Harper says. “When you wake up, clusters of skin cells accumulate during the night, because during the night your organs, including the skin, reset and regenerate. Old cells die and new ones are born. I like to get rid of all the dead skin cells. “

Bath and meditation

The center of the space is large when surrounded by windows and a plush meditation facade. Once he doesn’t take a shower, Harper often lands here. “I was obsessed with this Italian meditation chair, and in the end I put a small table near it, so I use it for meditation, and also for trying or working with the product,” she says. She groups bath oils, body creams and an ultra-hydrating face mask next to the bathtub: “I love a relaxing bath,” she says.

Treat your skin during the day as well

Harper uses a table on a meditation chair for a noon routine she started during a pandemic. “I do it right after lunch, and it’s like taking over,” she says. “Instead of drinking coffee or something, I sit down and apply an essence like our clear essence or a tonic like the thick one. Then I apply our rejuvenating eye cream and add a few drops of our retinoic face oil. “

Decisively glamorous vanity

Taken off one hand, in the area of vanity Harper likes to put on many of her serums and skin creams, as well as her familiar shades for lips and cheeks and, if it comes out, a little makeup. “I’ve always had a separate area that is different from the sink,” she says. “My mother and grandmother did the same. I think it’s important to have a place that is separate from the area where you wash your hands and brush your teeth, where you can sit in a nice chair and do a skin care routine. It’s relaxing. ”

Take care of your skin

This mist drowned in rose smells of a meadow full of flowers, feels amazing on the skin and deeply hydrates. It’s especially good to spray just before a serum or moisturizer, but we love it anytime, especially after sitting in front of a computer for too long.

It also contains a cocktail of ingredients that help strengthen and plump skin, because as we age, the skin becomes thinner. “
