Finding the right hair and skin care products can be a challenge for any family, but it’s even more crucial when your family is made up of diverse backgrounds. Sweet Peach Tree Marketplace, a brand dedicated to offering natural, safe, and effective products for diverse, blended, bi-racial, and inter-racial families is on a mission to make this easier. Recently featured on WGN 9’s Daytime Chicago, founder Kate Shanahan shared her story about how Sweet Peach Tree is empowering families by providing one-stop shopping for all their beauty care needs.
Sweet Peach Tree's Vision: Inclusive Care for All Families
Kate Shanahan’s journey started when she adopted her daughter and realized the importance of finding products that could cater to her daughter’s unique curly hair and melanin-rich skin. This realization led to the creation of Sweet Peach Tree, which provides products that not only work for her family but for other families who might face similar challenges.
"I want my children—and all children—to feel confident in their own skin and hair," Kate explained during her interview on WGN 9. "That confidence is the foundation of Sweet Peach Tree."
The company’s offerings include hair and skin care products for both children and adults, with a focus on natural, nourishing ingredients that work for all hair types and skin tones. Whether your family members have curly, coily, straight, or wavy hair, Sweet Peach Tree has something that works for everyone.
Natural Ingredients: The Heart of Sweet Peach Tree
Kate, a breast cancer survivor, emphasized during her WGN 9 interview the importance of using natural and safe ingredients. Sweet Peach Tree products are free from harmful chemicals and are designed to nourish and protect, making them suitable for people of all ages. From natural hair care solutions to deeply hydrating body butters, the products are crafted to ensure everyone in the family gets the care they need.
The Challenge of Parenting Across Cultures
As a mother in a diverse family, Kate found herself searching for products that would work for her daughter’s hair and skin. The realization that there weren’t enough inclusive products led to the creation of Sweet Peach Tree. The brand focuses on celebrating differences while ensuring that everyone can feel empowered and confident in their own beauty.

Why Sweet Peach Tree Stands Out

Whether you’re caring for melanin-rich skin or trying to find the right product for your child’s delicate curls, Sweet Peach Tree offers solutions that are free from harmful chemicals, made with love, and tested by the founder herself.
