OUR MISSION
We believe When Women Thrive, Communities Rise
At WonderTree, our mission is to empower women to live and enjoy longer, healthier, more beautiful lives.
We live in a world where toxicity is too often found in the messages we hear, the foods we eat, and the products we use. Thats why we're committed to helping women reclaim agency over their health, wellness, and beauty - starting with knowledge, access, and elevated experiences with the world's finest natural resources.
When empowered with the right information, ingredients, and experiences, women don't just live longer - they live better. Their vitality is a gift that enriches families, communities, and the economy.
OUR INSPIRATION
Our products are inspired by the natural powers of the Moringa plant to heal, soothe, nourish, and rejuvenate the body and the skin. Of all the natural oils, Moringa seed oil’s chemistry most resembles the natural sebum in human skin, making it more absorbent and restorative. The Moringa plant has been used for centuries for its health and beauty benefits, yet remains one of the most underutilized natural resources in the world.
As Moringa gains popularity as a superfood and supplement, we’re excited to accelerate its consideration as a leading skincare ingredient for healthy, radiant, and vibrant skin.
OUR PROMISE
Safe and effective doesn’t have to be clinical and boring. We’re using innovative applications of Moringa to make luxuriously clean skincare accessible, affordable, and inclusive.
Here's to a world where all women feel healthy and well, cherished and seen 💕
MEET OUR FOUNDER
ENTREPRENEUR. BEAUTY EQUITY CHAMPION. BOY MOM.
A life-threatening personal health crisis caused Orlena Nwokah Blanchard to endure surgery and a challenging recovery. Her compromised health resulted in her becoming ultra-sensitive to products she had previously used on her skin, environments she had inhabited, and the food she ingested. This hyper-sensitivity and the irritation that followed compelled her to reevaluate her choices and to become very intentional in every aspect of her wellness journey. A long and frustrating quest for safe and effective ingredients led back to her West African roots and in the direction of Moringa Oleifera.
LIVING IN PURPOSE
In 2012, I was diagnosed with a precancerous tumor in my colon. As an entrepreneur, a wife, and a mother to three young sons, it was terrifying. The serious surgery and grueling recovery made it even more heart-wrenching for me and my family.
Over the next decade, I faced ongoing health challenges, including perioral dermatitis — a debilitating skin disorder that took a deep toll not just on me, but on those I loved most.
Prioritizing my health became non-negotiable, starting with healing my gut and caring for my skin. But finding skincare that truly worked for my dry, sensitive, hyperpigmentation-prone skin — and that still felt fun and luxurious — turned into a long, frustrating search. I was tired of wasting time and money on products that didn’t understand me. As a Black woman who has worked on the front lines of the beauty industry to create a more inclusive standard of beauty, I knew firsthand how overlooked our skin needs can be.
WonderTree was born from that journey — from my own healing and my deep belief in the power of natural resources like Moringa.
Today, through WonderTree, I’m living my purpose: helping women care for themselves, inside and out, and making the world a healthier, more beautiful place for all of us.
With love, Orlena
