Tatcha – inspired by Japanese rituals
Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai created the brand in 2009 after a decade of working in corporations and suffering with stress that trigged acute dermatitis than needed daily steroids and antibiotics.
A trip to Kyoto left her “healed from skin to soul” and then she studied the natural Japanese rituals and ingredients that had transformed her skin. She works with a team of scientists, geisha and cultural advisors to create Tatcha’s products, such as the brand’s Akari massager – a handheld tool inspired by Japanese acupressure technique shiatsu.
