Rooted in Tradition: The Story Behind SunTree Skincare

There’s a photo that means the world to me. I’m a toddler, wrapped in my grandmother’s arms in Latvia. To most, it’s just a tender family moment. But to me, it’s the origin story of SunTree Skincare. That photo holds everything—love, resilience, and the quiet strength of a woman who shaped my life with her hands, her wisdom, and her belief in nature’s healing power.

We didn’t grow up with luxuries. But what we did have was something far richer: generations of knowledge. In our home, healing came from the earth. Olive oil soothed dry skin. Cucumbers cooled sunburns. Aloe and sunflower seeds became the remedies we turned to again and again. Our kitchen was our pharmacy—and that understanding of natural care became part of who I am.

Years later, when I became a mother, I searched for clean, effective skincare I could trust. Nothing felt right. So I did what my grandmother would’ve done—I turned to what I knew. I started crafting products from the same ingredients I grew up with. But this time, I paired tradition with science.

Since 2008, every SunTree formula has been built on that foundation: nourishing, food-grade ingredients that restore and protect. Aloe, avocado oil, cranberry seed oil, pomegranate, colloidal gold—every one of them serves a purpose. No fillers. No fluff. Just honest skincare that honors where we came from and supports where we’re going.

SunTree symbolizes the life-giving energy of the sun and the strength of the tree—ever growing, ever reaching. My grandmother planted the seed. I’ve simply nurtured it forward.
