Tata Harper Radiance Mask for Sensitized Skin (£52) is part of the brand's new Superkind range, formulated specifically for people with reactive skin. Three years in the making, all of the products are free of fragrances and essential oils, and don't contain harsh sulphates, exfoliants, or beta-hydroxy acids. What they do boast is the SkinSafe Seal, which is a seal developed with the Mayo Clinic in the US that confirms whether or not a product is truly safe for sensitive skin (a board of dermatologists review all of the INCI lists and review the brand's testing protocols and results before awarding the distinction).
The Radiance Mask, which was hardest of the three products in the line to formulate, was inspired by the brand's best-selling and award-winning Resurfacing Mask (they have a similar gel-cream texture). "It allows people with sensitive skin to get similar benefits", founder Tata Harper told POPSUGAR over Zoom. The mask contains phytic and lactic acids, which are both skin-care acids and humectants, meaning they promote cell turnover and boost hydration at the same time. Also found in the formula is white kaolin clay, and two new sugar technologies: a sugar-derived prebiotic (to help balance the skin's microbiome) and a sugar carbohydrate complex, which helps not only bind water in the skin, but also promotes the production of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and proteins according to the brand.
