TATCHA formula changes

laraffinee · ‎03-09-2010

I was checking Tatcha and noticed that they have changed their formulas for the enzyme cleansing powders and the Indigo cream. Those products were great the way they were, so I am concerned it is a cost cutting decision at the expense of quality. I do not use the Silk cream, but read tons of frustrated reviews of customers who loved the original, but hate the reformulated version. I have the latest TSV on auto delivery but don't want reformulated enzyme powder that foams more. Has anyone tried these reformulated products?

@laraffinee I love the enzyme cleansing powder. I use the classice but am currently trying the gentle (and going back to the classic when finished). Can you tell us what the change was to that products? It was FABULOUS the way it was and got great reviews... one from me! Thanks.

The enzyme powders are supposed to be more foaming, so there are more foaming agents than in the original. The only foaming agent in the original was Potassium Myristate, but the new version has about 4 foaming agents. The orignal had Rice bran powder at the first ingredient, while the New version has microcrystalline cellulose.

The original had rice bran powder and enzymes doing the hard work, while the new version has more foaming agents - Rice bran and enzymes are still in there but lower in the ingredient list. for me the Rice Bran and enyzmes were the key. At this point I will likely switch to Clinque's new enyzme cleanser which I have tried and is great and costs much less!

@laraffinee Thank you so much. I'm do disappointed that they made these changes. I will cancel my AD and no longer purchase. Darn!

EDITED TO ADD... I just took a look and for right now, they are offering BOTH. The new one has "FOAMING" in the name and the old formula does not. I'm on AD for the old formula, and hope that is what I'll be receiving.
