The new superheroes of skincare

There are so many reasons to love beauty’s buoyant green movement. Apart from the good-for-you ingredients, ethical values and philanthropic initiatives, what is completely fascinating is that the conversation around the idea that ‘natural doesn’t deliver’ has really moved. And Tata Harper has been integral to this change.

Harper is something of a beauty-industry pioneer. Since launching her eponymous range in 2010, she and her skincare range have become the gold standard in how to deliver non-toxic, naturally derived and intelligently considered skincare that actually works. Fans of Harper’s original hero range, The Supernaturals, will not be disappointed by the latest development from the brand. The Supernaturals 2.0 brings together 375 new and innovative green technologies to supercharge the existing formulas. Take the Elixir Vitae, which focuses on filling and relaxing technology to restore youthful volume and soften the look of deep wrinkles. Or the Concentrated Brightening range, with its tone-correcting and lightening technology to reduce dark spots and even out skin tone. And then there is the Boosted Contouring selection, which is formulated with lifting and firming technology to sculpt and tighten the look of skin. Want to know more? Here’s everything you need to know…

The Elixir Vitae Serum 2.0 is your skin’s starting point to soften deep-set wrinkles and regain plumpness. Powerful flower peptides, kelp and pistachio-tree crystal tears are combined with game-changing botanicals from ingredients such as argan fruit to plump skin, jugo bean to restore and bilberries to kick-start circulation.

Make Elixir Vitae Eye Serum 2.0 part your anti-aging arsenal. This high-performing serum targets all the signs of aging around the eyes: puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles and dryness. Antioxidant-rich rock rose and adaptogenic immortal grass work in tandem to deliver smoothness and firmness to the delicate under-eye area.

If you suffer from dulled, lackluster skin, the Concentrated Brightening Serum 2.0 should be non-negotiable. This tone-correcting elixir uses sugar peptides, algaes and plankton to deliver clarity and brightness to skin.

Rather than balancing the pH or exfoliating, essences often come with a more concentrated level of nutrients and hydrators than a serum or moisturizer. Boosting and correcting skin with a combination of acids, Concentrated Brightening Essence 2.0 does all that and more.

Think the viscosity of a serum but with more actives. The Boosted Contouring Serum 2.0 is a power-packed serum booster that works double time to improve the quality and firmness of your skin. Edelweiss stem cells, antioxidant-rich buckbean extract and energizing maize leave skin brighter and super hydrated, with any fine lines softened.

Often when skin is lackluster, dry and dull, the under-eyes can be more apparent. Dehydration of the skin can in fact show up more lines, so fusing it with hydrators such as kelp and cold-pressed plum oil in the Boosted Contouring Eye Balm 2.0 will get that youthful plumpness back and help maintain your skin barrier as you age.
