Short story? Although
Tata Harper Skincare's products work beautifully I really struggled to complete this review. Why? It's complicated.
Long story? This brand with its lovely logo, evocative pictures and eponymous label showed up every time I searched for body care products and companies committed to using safe ingredients. More impressively Tata Harper received a recommendation from and had a link on a very reputable site,
No More Dirty Looks. When I checked the brand in
Skin Deep's database each product received a no-to-low risk (zero to 2) hazard rating. All very good so far.

OK... so my expectations were high. I navigated to the beautiful and informative company website and was exceedingly impressed with their safety standards, environmentally conscious practices and the health and beauty radiating from founder and
spokesperson, Tata Harper. I saw the company is very involved in supporting the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011. I even found a wonderful
video done by and for Vogue Italy.
Very very good.
As excited as I was to try the products I'm enough of a skeptic to want samples before committing to any expensive items. And Tata Harper is a high end product. When I learned a 5 hour drive to New York City was my closest option for samples I emailed the company.
Happy surprise- their representative responded to my email. This was something no other company had done so far...which is why I mention it here... My good feeling about Tata Harper was getting stronger by the minute!

I only requested samples of a cleanser and moisturizer. They generously sent a whole regime in this happy little green Santa's sack: The Deluxe Trial and Travel Set, $65.00 worth of product arrived on my doorstep in record time. And like Santa's sack it was full of wonderful goodies. Eight to be exact. Very generous. Very good.
With great anticipation I lined the pretty little glass jars up in order of how they were to be used and prepared for my trial with the travel sizes. But each time I opened a jar my olfactory radar went off! Every product had its own very distinct very strong scent.
It's funny how the brain works. Mine anyway. I think I'm such a skeptic, but the press, the beautiful images had worked on me. I was already sold on this product before I opened that first jar. So instead of trusting my own responses, closing up the product and chalking the whole thing up to experience I was actually reminding myself of the low hazard ratings, the beautiful web site and pictures, the association with trusted others, the great press, the video, the New York digs, the farm in Vermont...
