Rooted in Care
What began as care for one child has grown into a plant-based ritual for all.
Mocha Tree Organics began in 2001, born from a deeply personal mission: to care for my daughter’s skin when nothing else would. At just four weeks old, she was diagnosed with a severe form of eczema. The commercial baby soaps, washes, and lotions I trusted only made things worse. When her pediatrician recommended cortisone shots before her second birthday, I knew I had to find a gentler, more natural solution.
I turned to research—diving deep into the causes and triggers of eczema—and began formulating sugar scrubs and moisturizers in my own kitchen. My focus was to calm the symptoms that caused her the most distress: dryness, burning, itching, and irritation. After six months of using the products I created, my daughter’s skin began to heal. Her scarring faded, and for the first time, we saw true relief.
That journey became the foundation of Mocha Tree Organics. Today, our apothecary collection is crafted for those living with dry, sensitive, and problematic skin. Every product is plant-based, vegan, and made with organic ingredients—free from the harsh chemicals that often do more harm than good.
But beyond skincare, we’re here for connection. We want to help people feel seen and supported—because struggling with your skin can be painful, isolating, and frustrating. You deserve to feel good in your skin, and we’re here to help you love it again.

Our Culture Credo
Mocha Tree Organics is rooted in ethical practices and intentional care. Every decision—from our certified organic ingredients to our handmade production in Indiana—reflects a deep respect for sensitive skin, sustainability, and Earth’s natural resources. These are the values we live by:
Nature First
We use plant-based, certified organic ingredients that nurture skin and protect the planet.
Family to Family

Radical Transparency
You deserve to know what goes on your skin. Every jar is clean, safe, and clearly labeled.
Support Sustainability
From sourcing to packaging, we prioritize environmental responsibility without compromise.
What Goes In, What Stays Out
We believe every ingredient should serve a purpose — to nourish your skin, support your well-being, or protect the earth. That’s why we thoughtfully select what we include, and just as thoughtfully, what we leave behind. Each formula is made with care, using only what’s necessary to deliver safe, effective, plant-based skincare.

Sustainability + Impact
At Mocha Tree Organics, we believe in conscious care for skin, people, and the planet — at every step of the journey. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought. It’s a principle we build into every product we make. We formulate in small batches to reduce waste, preserve ingredient integrity, and ensure every jar receives the care it deserves.
Our raw materials are ethically sourced from trusted partners who value organic farming, fair labor, and biodiversity. Each ingredient is chosen not just for its benefits, but for its integrity — for your skin, and for the earth.
We keep our packaging minimal and recyclable wherever possible, using a thoughtful mix of amber PET jars and glass bottles that balance durability with environmental impact. While our product labels aren’t compostable, we use compostable paper labels on our shipping and packing materials, and we’re continuously exploring lower-waste alternatives as we grow.
Every step that we take is guided by the belief that care for the skin should never come at the expense of the environment.
