About this episode

Hello Sunday is a skincare brand on a mission to make SPF a daily essential, not just a beach-day afterthought. Founded by Amy Ford after spending years under the intense Australian sun, the brand was born from her realization that sun protection is crucial year-round—even on cloudy days in the UK. Amy returned home with a clear vision: to create affordable, effective SPF products that combine skincare benefits with broad-spectrum protection. She teamed up with a dedicated group of skincare lovers and formulation experts to bring that vision to life. Hello Sunday’s formulas are designed to fit seamlessly into any routine, promoting healthy, protected skin every day because every day is a SUN day.

In this episode, Amy also discusses:

  • The risk of exposure to UV rays even at low levels
  • Being new and different merging skincare and sun care
  • Expensive doesn’t mean better
  • Why using SPF is the #1 thing you can do for your skin to age healthily 
  • Entering in the US in Sephora and growing in this market

We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Amy’s journey and the growth of www.us.hellosundayspf.com. Don't forget to subscribe to the Glam & Grow podcast for more in-depth conversations with the most incredible brands, founders, and more.
