NEW CANAAN’S QUEEN OF GREEN LUXURY SKINCARE
Dubbed the ‘queen of the green skincare movement’ by Forbes, Harper’s manifesto is green, her sustainable packaging is green, her hashtag is green (#greenyourbeautyroutine), and even the heart emojis posted by her 329,000 Instagram followers are green. Once the exclusive purview of tree-huggers and hippies, the booming natural cosmetics market is expected to reach $48 billion by 2024. The market is now driven by the increasing number of women who seek purely natural products to perform the same miracles’ as chemical and artificial ones, and who believe things like botox (full name botulinum toxin) has no place in their bodies.
