About Tatcha

Tatcha is a Japanese-inspired luxury skincare brand rooted in the centuries-old beauty rituals of geisha and the power of Japanese botanicals. Founded after its creator discovered these traditions while traveling and healing, Tatcha transforms ancient wisdom into modern skincare — and became one of the most celebrated founder exits in beauty, acquired by Unilever in 2019 for a reported $500 million.
