Hi Tata,

What is your favorite Tata Harper product with AHA and BHA's and what ingredients do you use for those benefits?

[TataHFounder]

@2muchlinr My favorite serum for glow is our newest serum, the Resurfacing Serum. It’s a radiant booster! It has a total of 7 acids that include lots of fruits and vegetables. Our AHA super fruit blend contains Lactic Acid from Bilberry, Glycolic Acid from Sugarcane, and Citric Acid from Orange and Lemon, while our BHA Botanical Blend includes Salicylic Acid from White Willow Bark & Meadowsweet. This formula is so great because it’s gentle enough to use everyday.

I am a long time user of the Clarifying Mask, however, I've been worried about some reviews. What do you say about negative reviews of your products saying that the fragrance and lavender/other plant oils are too harsh on skin? Beautypedia says this about the Clarifying Mask: 

"Tata Harper's Clarifying Mask is supposed to help blemish-prone skin, but in reality, it's more likely to make breakouts worse.

Of chief concern are the several fragrant plant oils/extracts (sandalwood, wintergreen, and sage, just to name a few) in this formula that wreak havoc on skin. In fact, the irritation that they incite can trigger skin to produce more oil."

We love essential oils. They have innumerable properties for the skin, and we have used them to treat skin concerns for ages because they have anti-inflammatory properties and anti-bacterial properties when used at the right levels.  

We make sure to do our research, and make sure that the essential oils added to our product are at safe levels and are the right essential oils to treat particular concerns. It’s difficult to formulate for everybody since everyone has different skin so it’s important to find a line that works best for you.

We formulated the Clarifying line to be gentle, and we use essential oils that are clinical grade, but sometimes the potency may be too strong for those with sensitive skin types.
