Our Founder, Cheryl Steets
Inner Sunrise was founded by Cheryl Steets, Ph.D., a lifelong natural and organic foods advocate, along with her husband Larry GItlin. Throughout her career years in both academia and the technology industry, Cheryl spent her spare time exploring the potential of organic skincare, noting the power of organic essential oils for lifting mood and delighting the senses while also enhancing the skin.
However, although many of the organic products she tried were good quality, she struggled to find products that could truly be labeled as GREAT -- always seeking to find "wow" products with amazing scents, fabulous textures, and high performance ingredients that consistently deliver. Her search for greatness in organic body-care products led her to create the new Inner Sunrise body-care line, which delivers beautiful performance while adhering to high organic quality standards.
