Samantha Brett, Founder of Naked Sundays
Naked Sundays was born out of necessity and passion, driven by our founder, Samantha Brett. As a television news reporter, Samantha spent countless hours under the harsh Australian sun, with heavy makeup and intense camera lights. Despite Australia’s skin cancer epidemic, she quickly realized there was no effective way to reapply SPF over makeup throughout the day. After witnessing two colleagues undergo surgery to remove skin cancers from their faces, Samantha knew something had to change.
Drawing on her experience working with top makeup artists and skincare experts, Samantha saw the struggles of finding an SPF that didn’t leave a white cast, pill under makeup, or require constant reapplication. It seemed impossible, but she refused to give up. This was the spark that led to the creation of Naked Sundays: a revolutionary SPF brand designed for women, by women, catering to makeup wearers and anyone who wants effortlessly radiant skin without the hassle.
“I was determined to create a sunscreen that could be sprayed over makeup, that was both high-performance and good for your skin. Manufacturers laughed and told me it couldn’t be done, but I kept pushing. Eventually, I created what is now our award-winning SPF50+ Hydrating Glow Mist. When we launched Naked Sundays in January 2021, it sold out in three weeks. Customers said it was the product they’d been desperately searching for—it now sells one every minute globally!”
