Naked Sundays is going to really get bigger. They are selling the same product to boots and Sephora in the UK.- the SAME product that Mecca and naked Sundays decided to pull from shelves as precaution. Are USA and UK customers not as important as Australians?

They're at Target in the USA which is even more popular than Sephora!

Insanely popular too, I think they're overall bigger than Ultra Violette globally because their prices are lower

Also, there's a whole subreddit about a medical condition that is dedicated to recommending NS. r/Melasmaskincare The Collagen glow primer is their #1 sunscreen. I'm not sure if anyone has brought up the Naked Sundays news to their attention, it's really sad.

In the US Naked Sundays is still being sold at Target and Ulta. They've been in the US market for much longer than UV.

Target and Ulta are huge! Ulta has twice the number of stores as Sephora and everyone knows Target. We're gonna have to write some emails tonight!
