Tata Harper
Tata Harper prides itself on using 100 percent natural and nontoxic ingredients 100 percent of the time. The Vermont-based company manufactures small batches in its lab, which is located on the famous Julius Kingdom Harper family farm. The newly-launched Nourishing Oil Cleanser and Purifying Cleanser are personal favorites of ours, and great for first-timers. "If you're making the switch into natural products, start with the basics," recommends founder Tata Harper. "It can take skin some time to detoxify, so it's good to keep the transition smooth."

"My all-natural, organic Daily Serum is packed with vital greens and is inspired by my love of green juicing," says Vargas.
