🧼 What We Leave Out Matters: The SunTree Approach to Truly Clean Skincare

When it comes to truly healthy skin, what you don’t include in your skincare routine is just as important as what you do. At SunTree Skincare, we believe clean beauty starts with ingredient transparency and a commitment to doing things differently—no shortcuts, no hidden toxins, and no compromises.

We create every formula with food-grade, plant-based ingredients your skin can recognize and trust—and we leave out anything that could cause harm or imbalance. Because to us, skincare isn’t just about surface-level results—it’s about long-term health, balance, and integrity.


🔍 Why Ingredient Transparency Is Non-Negotiable

Your skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs a surprising amount of what you put on it. That’s why understanding your skincare labels—and knowing which ingredients to avoid—is essential to supporting your skin and overall wellbeing.

Here are five common skincare ingredients we intentionally leave out—and how we do things differently at SunTree:


❌ 1. Parabens

Why we say no: These chemical preservatives have been linked to hormone disruption and skin sensitivity.

Our solution: We use natural preservation systems including vitamin E and antimicrobial plant extracts like therapeutic grade essential oils that keep our products fresh—without compromising your health.


❌ 2. Sulfates (SLS/SLES)

Why we say no: These harsh foaming agents can strip your skin’s natural oils, weakening the protective barrier and causing irritation.

Our solution: At SunTree, we handcraft our soaps in small batches using the traditional cold process method, which preserves the natural nutrients of our food-grade ingredients. The result? A gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that supports your skin’s balance without stripping away its essential moisture.


❌ 3. Synthetic Fragrances

Why we say no: Artificial fragrance blends often contain dozens of undisclosed chemicals—many of which are known allergens or hormone disruptors.

Our solution: We scent only with pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils—or leave products fragrance-free for those with ultra-sensitive skin.


❌ 4. Phthalates

Why we say no: These ingredients, often found in synthetic fragrances, have been linked to reproductive toxicity and endocrine disruption.

Our solution: We never use phthalates. Period.


❌ 5. Formaldehyde & Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives

Why we say no: Formaldehyde is a known skin irritant and potential carcinogen, and even “releasers” can cause similar reactions over time.

Our solution: SunTree uses a gentle, non-formaldehyde preservative system that is both safe and effective—designed for sensitive skin and long-term skin health.


🌿 The SunTree Standard: Integrity in Every Ingredient

We don’t just make skincare—we handcraft every batch with purpose. From nutrient-dense oils and antioxidant-rich botanicals to our clean preservation methods, every SunTree product reflects our commitment to purity, transparency, and results.

No fillers. No toxins. No hidden ingredients. Just food-grade skincare your skin will recognize, respond to, and thrive with.
