SUNRICH was born on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, where life is shaped by the sun. So much of life happens outside, at the water’s edge, in the backyard, and everywhere in between. Growing up here, the sun wasn’t something we thought about only on vacation or during certain seasons. It was simply part of everyday life, and so was learning how to live well in it.
We’re two sisters who grew up in that rhythm of life. As adults, we found ourselves searching for sun essentials that reflected the way those days felt: joyful, intentional, and beautiful, while still offering the protection and comfort we wanted. Instead, we often found products that felt clinical, purely functional, or like an afterthought. We wanted something that celebrated both the joy of being outside and the intention behind taking care of ourselves while we’re there.
So we decided to create what we couldn’t find. SUNRICH is our vision for living well in the sun — sun protection you actually want to use, from UPF 50+ sun umbrellas to sun gloves, visors and everyday essentials designed to make life outside more protected, comfortable, and beautiful. Every product begins with a real need and is thoughtfully refined until it earns its place in your everyday life.
Hawaiʻi continues to guide how we see the sun, how we create, and how we grow. We carry that connection as a responsibility, not a theme, with deep respect for the people, culture, and place that raised us and a commitment to giving back as SUNRICH grows.
Two sisters, one vision
Anna Liza
Co-Founder
Growing up in Hawaiʻi, life revolved around being outdoors. The sun was simply part of everyday life, and taking care of our skin was something I learned from an early age.
For most of my adult life, I built a career in a completely different industry while raising four amazing kids with my husband. Starting a lifestyle brand was never part of the plan. But there was one idea I could never shake, one that had quietly stayed with me for years until I finally decided it was time to bring it to life.
What I wanted was simple. I was always searching for products that felt beautiful, thoughtfully made, and enjoyable to use every day — and rarely finding them. Instead, I kept choosing between products that performed well but felt clinical, or ones that looked beautiful but didn't deliver the experience I was looking for.
That idea eventually became SUNRICH.
Building SUNRICH has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my life. My hope is that SUNRICH inspires people to enjoy the sun with confidence, embrace simple daily rituals, and experience a brand that's rooted in the warmth, beauty, and values of the place that has always been home.
Anjulei
Co-Founder
I have spent over a decade helping founders build and scale some of today's most culturally impactful e-commerce brands through marketing and operations. As an executive working across retail and consumer brands, I have spent years in meetings with some of the world's largest retailers, helping bring brands to market on a national scale.
Throughout that journey, one thing became increasingly clear. While Hawaiʻi has long inspired products, marketing, and lifestyle brands around the world, authentic representation from founders born and raised in the islands remains rare. I believed Hawaiʻi deserved more than inspiration. It deserved a seat at the table.
That belief led me to partner with my sister, Anna Liza, whose vision for creating exceptional products inspired by Hawaiʻi aligned with my vision of building a globally recognized brand. Together, we founded SUNRICH Hawaii to authentically represent the islands, create opportunities for our community, and give back to the place we will always call home.
This Is SUNRICH
Everything created by SUNRICH is guided by four principles that shape every product, every decision, and every moment in the sun.
