Join us for a live virtual event! Bluemercury's Marla Beck talks with two dynamic brand founders, Tata Harper and Bee Shapiro, touching on topics such as each brand's start and evolution, how these women incorporate mindful ingredients into their daily lives and the other wellness practices each couldn't live without
Meet the Panelists
Tata Harper
Tata Harper
A native of Colombia who eventually relocated to rural Vermont, Tata Harper was unable to find clean, high-performance skincare that was also 100 percent natural. So she created her own luxury line, using ingredients she grows on her 1,200-acre organic farm.
Ellis Brooklyn
Bee Shapiro
As a beauty columnist for The New York Times, Bee Shapiro saw firsthand the lack of cleanly formulated fragrances available on the market. Inspired by the possibility of what she could create, Bee launched Ellis Brooklyn in 2015 to fill this unmet need and expand the range of clean beauty categories.
