About TATCHA — TATCHA LLC is a global luxury beauty and lifestyle company founded in 2009 by Victoria Tsai. A chance encounter with a modern-day geisha in Kyoto inspired Tsai to create a skincare collection based on the geisha's generations-old beauty rituals. In her research, Tsai unearthed a 200-year old beauty manuscript, detailing the timeless ingredients and practices of the geisha. Tsai worked with teams of scientists and researchers in Japan and the U.S. to bring the formulas to life with time-tested ingredients like Green Tea, Japanese Rice Brand and Okianwa Red Algae.

The TATCHA skin care collection is available exclusively at Barneys New York in the U.S., JOYCE Beauty in Hong Kong and TATCHA.com.

ABOUT ROOM TO READ — Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, Room to Read's innovative model focuses on deep, systemic transformation within schools in low-income countries during two time periods which are most critical in a child's schooling: early primary school for literacy acquisition and secondary school for girls' education. We work in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and ensure girls can complete secondary school with the skills necessary to negotiate key life decisions. Room to Read has benefited 10 million children across 17,000 communities in Asia and Africa and aims to reach 15 million children by 2020. Learn more at www.roomtoread.org.
