Samantha Brett surveyed 2,000 millennials asking what they don’t like about traditional sunscreen. There were 3 universal answers–white, sticky, and bad for the skin. So Samantha reversed engineered to create the first SPF 50+ mist for over makeup. Alongside her partner, Samantha launched Naked Sundays in January of 2022 and and 6 figures in 4 weeks. And within 3 months, Nake Sundays became Australia’s #1 SPF skincare brand.
