Tropical Touches
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Del Oro founded Tropical Touches, a lifestyle and wellness brand offering hand-poured coconut candles. Each candle is inspired by different regions and cultures, with a mission to bring an “island state of mind” into the home through sensory storytelling.
Her work with Tropical Touches has been featured in VoyageLA, El Nuevo Sol, and TimeOut Los Angeles. In TimeOut’s Women of the Year 2021 feature, Leah Guerrero, founder of Brujita Skincare, recognized Del Oro personally as a creator and entrepreneur whose energy and authenticity stood out. The El Nuevo Sol feature spotlighted her as part of its AfroLatinx Stories series, celebrating her commitment to cultural visibility and community storytelling.
