Meet the founder: our sunrise story

Every brand has an origin story. Ours starts with a sunrise — the kind that turns the whole sky teal, berry and gold — and the thought: why doesn't makeup feel like this?

Tropical Teal began as a single lip color mixed at a kitchen table and grew into a full-face line built on one belief: makeup should feel like sunshine. Clean formulas, joyful color, and a spirit that never takes itself too seriously.

Today, the same palette from that morning sky runs through everything we make — and everything we help other founders create through our private-label studio.
