One morning in 2009, Vicky Tsai woke up and said, “I choose happiness.” A decade of toiling in corporations had left her disillusioned and suffering from acute dermatitis that required daily steroids and antibiotics. She soon found herself in Kyoto, where she encountered a philosophy of mindful care that changed the way she saw herself and her skin. Alongside a team of scientists and cultural advisors, she studied the natural Japanese ingredients and timeless rituals that healed her inside and out. Today, Tatcha is a celebration of the wisdom and wonders discovered on her journey to spark transformation through Japanese skincare—a journey that continues to this day.
Our Skincare
Every formula is crafted at the Tatcha Institute in Tokyo, where leading scientists innovate within tradition: balancing timeless Japanese botanicals with proven clinical ingredients to work with skin, not against it. Inside every Tatcha formula lives a tiny symphony of superfoods, amino acids, and AHAs called Hadasei-3™. This proprietary complex of twice-fermented rice, green tea, and algae is rooted in the nutrient-dense Japanese diet, largely considered the healthiest in the world.
