Formulator, Face and Founder: how does Sunday Riley do it all?

In this episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Sunday Riley, the visionary founder, CEO, and formulator behind the cult-status skincare brand Sunday Riley. Known for hero products like Good Genes, C.E.O. Vitamin C Serum, and Luna Sleeping Night Oil, Sunday has built a clean beauty empire rooted in science, innovation, and results that speak for themselves

Sunday takes us behind the scenes of her entrepreneurial journey — from her childhood in Houston to her early fascination with chemistry and how that scientific curiosity evolved into creating one of the most trusted skincare brands on the shelves today. She opens up about the challenges of launching a brand in a saturated industry, why product integrity always comes before marketing hype, and what it means to stay hands-on as both founder and formulator, even as the brand scales globally.

We talk brand building, product development, clean beauty standards, and the grit it takes to stay ahead of the curve in an industry that never slows down. Sunday shares the realities of being a female founder, what success really looks like behind the scenes, and her advice to women who want to carve their own paths in beauty — or anywhere else.

Whether you’re a skincare obsessive, a budding entrepreneur, or simply love hearing from women who are changing the game, this episode will inspire, educate, and empower.
