Kirbie's hosting solo today with the co-founders of Australian suncare brand Ultra Violette! Beauts Ava Matthews and Bec Jefferd stopped by the studio before heading back to Oz to talk about the brand's expansion into the US and launch in Sephora. The ladies explain why they formulate for every country, what they think about sunscreen boosters in US formulations, misinformation about sunscreen as a whole, what they pay for their employees to get done, and what “gives them the shits” about how sunscreen is marketed.

Sephora has launched numerous new brands in recent months, many of them buzzy and beloved — but perhaps none has been as hotly anticipated as Ultra Violette (that's pronounced "violet"), the Aussie sunscreen brand first launched in 2018. Sephora marks the brand's official debut into the U.S. market — a landmark occasion, because, as co-founder Bec Jefferd said on this week's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, "You can't be a serious global beauty brand if you aren't in the U.S." That's in spite of the fact that the brand has already launched in 29 other markets. Jefferd and co-founder Ava Matthews met as coworkers at Mecca, the premier Australian beauty retailer. Growing up in Australia, sun protection is a focus, even in childhood, given the country's climate and high skin cancer rates, Matthews said. Still, in 2016, when they began ideation for the brand, the duo saw the opportunity for a brand that approached the category differently. "[Sunscreen] wasn't at the center of a skin-care routine. We were talking about it as a skin cancer preventative or something to wear in summer, even in Australia," Matthews said. "There were a lot of people talking about sun care in a serious way, in terms of [skin] cancer, but no one talking about sun care as a kind of prestige skin-care product." For reference, Supergoop launched in 2007, as did Coola; while Vacation launched in 2021, as did fellow Aussie sunscreen brand Naked Sundays. Ultra Violette, with its brightly colored packaging and elegant formulas, quickly became one of the hottest sunscreen brands on the market — its unavailability in the States only added to its cool factor. In-the-know editors got it overseas or had friends bring it back when they traveled — it became ubiquitous in chic poolside pics. As recently as 2021, Matthews and Jefferd had no plans to launch in the States, but now, with formulas they've deemed just as good as their Aussie counterparts and the promise of a new broad-spectrum filter likely soon to be approved in the U.S., the time was right. And though the U.S. has not approved a new filter since 1999, 2026 might change that. As of March 28, the brand is on Sephora.com and in-store at all doors. As for the marketing for the Sephora launch, influencer partnerships are about to kick off, mailers have gone out, and a New York City breakfast, co-hosted by Tinx has been held. As Matthews put it, "We're really not prepared to fuck this up." The U.S. range features five products, to start, four sunscreens and one lip product — with SPF, of course — in two shades. Prices range from $22-$40. In 2024, the brand closed a 15 million Australian-dollar minority investment from equity firm Aria Growth Partners. In this episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, the co-founders discuss why it finally made sense to launch stateside, why there's promise in the long-awaited new sunscreen filters in the U.S. and who the Ultra Violette customer is, especially as the sunscreen market has become more crowded.

Ava Chandler-Matthews and Bec Jefferd spent their entire careers building an unfair advantage before starting Ultra Violette. The former product development colleagues at Mecca spent two and a half years creating their “skinscreen” formula before launching. In 2019, when they launched, the market was ready. In the first six months, they sold 40,000 units and disrupted the medicinal sunscreen category with their sexy and fun branding. Ultra Violette now sells its skincare-infused SPF products in 28 countries, and it recently raised $15M. In this episode, Nathan Chan chats with Chandler-Matthews and Jefferd about developing a regulated beauty product, standout branding advice, and knowing what good looks like. In this episode, you'll learn: Why they spent two and a half years in the ideation phase How they accidentally overordered their first product batch The origins of their fictional marketing character “Vi” The marketing challenges around a regulated product Why having a global mindset is critical for beauty brands The pros and cons of owning your formula What you need to pitch mass retailers like Sephora or Mecca How to test formulations with real people Product development and formulation timing tips And much more beauty brand advice… Click here to start your business for $1.

Since I last interviewed Phoebe Simmonds over a year ago and Ava Chandler Matthews just under a year ago, the two business owners, mothers, and friends have had just a bit going on. Ava is getting ready to launch her business Ultra Violette into the US and she's actually launching herself into second time motherhood very soon, too. So soon, I'm surprised she even let me convince her to come back on the show.As for Phoebe, The Memo is having a big year. They've just opened their Fitzroy store, and they're opening their Highpoint store in just a few weeks' time. And as you'll hear here, they have no plans to slow down from there.I wanted to get Ava and Phoebe back onto the show for many reasons. Firstly, you loved both of their episodes, which I'll link in the show notes, and secondly, they had sons at the same time as I did. They're also friends who have being co-founders in common, and as women in business who I really look up to, I wanted to know what's changed for them both as they continue to move through navigating career and motherhood.So, this episode is a bit hodge podge by design. It's less of an interview and more of a check in. I wanted you to feel as if you were part of the car talk that mum friends have on the regular as they make their way to or from the office.Here, we talk about the delight of two year olds, the things we still don't have the answers for, what Ava will grapple with until the day she dies and why Phoebe doesn't believe in imposter syndrome.ORIGINAL EPISODES:Listen to the interview with Phoebe on Apple here and Spotify here.Listen to the episode with Ava on Apple here and Spotify here.THIS WEEK'S PARTNERThis episode is brought to you by Our Pilates – an online, physio led library of classes that you can seamlessly fit into a busy life.

Historically, sunscreen has had a pretty daggy reputation. Until brands like Ultra Violette completely changed the game with sophisticated formulations, making slip slop and slappin' on a SPF commonplace in our skincare routines. But what if you're still unable to find a sunscreen you like...Or you're still not quite convinced you need to wear one everyday (even in winter)... Or maybe you're applying one in the morning and wondering if you should be reapplying at some point. Well, we discuss all this and so much more in our chat with the one of the clever brains behind Ultra Violette, Ava Chandler-Matthews. And we have our MVPs - a lightweight and refreshing facial mist and a hero concealer, plus a solution for anyone who just wants ONE do-it-all serum in their skincare routine.

The hip, all Australian-made Ultra Violette sunscreen had only been going a short while when the Covid pandemic struck. After initial panic and quickly testing disaster scenarios, Bec and Ava realised they needed to junk them, and step back on the accelerator! Fast-growing online sales in skin and suncare showed these founders they would flourish through Covid if they could stay nimble and lean. The endless Melbourne lockdowns, they say, made them and everyone else resilient. So what happened to their international expansion plans; and how do they make their partnership-- business marriage they call it-- work? Well, take a listen to Part 2 of our chat with dynamic duo who created and founded Ultra Violette Bec Jefferd and Ava Chandler-Matthews. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So why do two young women, both with great jobs in the beauty industry, toss all that certainty & stability away, and put everything on the line (including re-mortgaging the house!) to back themselves into a startup? Particularly when the all Aussie-made sunscreen product they create will have to compete in a super crowded sector, where mass-market products fly off supermarket and chemist shelves. Are they crazy brave? Delusional? What's going on? Well, take a listen to Part 1 of our chat with young entrepreneurs Ava Chandler-Matthews and Bec Jefferd, the creators, founders and owners of Ultra Violette, which now has its sights set firmly on conquering international markets, talk about the why and how they did it.

Ava Chandler-Matthews is the Co-Founder of Ultra Violette Sunscreen which not only launched but sold out in under 24 hours back in 2018 and has since been widely credited with “making sunscreen sexy”. It is no surprise the brand has taken off considering Ava comes from a long history of working in the beauty industry with some of the biggest brands, both locally and abroad, including Napoleon Perdis, Mecca Cosmetica, and Rationale. It takes a lot to disrupt an entire category and that is exactly what Ava has achieved by creating a new brand of sunscreen with women in mind and dedicated to future-proofing our faces. So, how did she do it? Together in this bonus episode ‘How to Balance It All' we discuss: The expectations and pressures for women working in the beauty industry How to embrace the body you're in What it's like launching and running your own business How to juggle your love life with a demanding career GUEST LINKS: IG: @avamatthews IG: @ultravioletteau W: ultraviolette.com.au FIND ME: IG: @Single_at_Thirty W: singleatthirty.com If you have an episode idea, DM me on Instagram @single_at_thirty or join the Single at Thirty closed Facebook group to become part of the community where together with other like-minded Modern Women we publicly air the uncomfortable and the unspoken.

EPISODE 169./Nothing like starting this week's episode with a brief spout of toilet trauma followed by an extensive chat about our Chrismtas plans and Christmas histories! ¯_(ツ)_/¯We have to kick off beauty news this week with a corrections corner, because Alex was very wrong about the new shade of Glowlust - Sunstone.

In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Rose Garnett (beauty writer) sit down with the co-founder of Ultra Violette, Ava Matthews. As one half of the duo behind the sunscreen brand that changed the game forever, Matthews knows a thing or two about capitalising on a gap in the market. Bursting onto the beauty scene in 2019, her brand has not only created cult products but has also started a much needed conversation about the importance of sun protection.From going into business with her boss to disrupting the skincare space and the value of personal challenges in building resilience, nothing was off limits during their chat.PRODUCTS MENTIONED:SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, $228 [https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/skinceuticals/skinceuticals-c-e-ferulic-serum.html?queryID=c9a0595804cc64e41148aba8ccc6dcd1]Aspect Dr Resveratrol Moisturising Cream, $96.50 [https://www.theskincareclinic.com.au/product/aspect-dr-resveratrol-moisturiser/]Ultra Violette Queen Screen, $47 [https://ultraviolette.com.au/collections/all/products/queen-screen-spf50]Ultra Violette Dream Screen Tinted Veil, $55 [https://ultraviolette.com.au/collections/spf-makeup/products/dream-screen-spf50-tinted-veil]Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush, $33 [https://fave.co/3DHP1Tz]Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow-Volumising Gel, $45 [https://fave.co/3nJJAOf]Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara, $40 [https://www.mecca.com.au/kevyn-aucoin/the-volume-mascara/I-002418.html#start=1]Ultra Violette Sheen Screen, $25 [https://ultraviolette.com.au/collections/body-hands-lips/products/sheen-screen-spf-50-shimmer]We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work and record this podcast on, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

In this episode, I am joined by the Co-founder of Ultra Violette, Ava Mathews. Ava's career has always been rooted in beauty - from MECCA, to Napoleon Perdis and Rationale, she's exceptionally well versed in the industry, which was the perfect launch pad to pioneer the SPF space with Ultra Violette. Together, we discuss how she launched her brand, the Gwyneth/ Vogue SPF moment that caused waves in the beauty industry, the difference between chemical and physical SPF filters, how Ultra Violette pioneered the shift with SPF as an everyday skincare staple, and advice for young budding entrepreneurs, and beauty advice she would give her younger self.

In this, the latest episode of ‘The Beauty Edit’ podcast from TheIndustry.fashion, Gaelle Walker talks to Ava Matthews, Co-founder of the Australian-born skinscreen brand Ultra Violette, which has recently landed on UK shores. As its description as a skinscreen suggests, Ultra Violette is far from a typical sun protection brand. With a wardrobe of formulas for different skin types and containing a host of powerful Australian antioxidants to brighten, hydrate and nourish, the brand promises far more than simple sun protection. It’s been designed to look, feel and act like top-shelf skincare and it’s on a mission to teach UK shoppers that it’s time to “stop faffing with their faces and make a serious commitment to daily SPF and future-proofing their skin.” As the brand humorously puts it, “Those spency serums you put on every night? They won’t do sh*t if you’re not protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.” The Ultra Violette range has also taken careful consideration of people’s beauty routines and how the products interact with other skincare items and makeup, promising to never ball or pill. Here, Ava talks to us in far greater detail about the brand’s concept, range innovations and its exciting plans for the UK market.

Ava Matthews and Bec Jefferd, co-founders of Ultra Violette, share the secret sauce to their strong co-founder relationship, why (and how) they’ve chosen to remain self-funded, and why they put down so much of their success to having strong operations, systems and rigour in the business back-end. You’ll learn: How Ava and Bec designed their product and brand to solve a customer problem How the two navigate tension and disagreements in their co-founder relationship Why they advise any founders to budget 4x as much money and time as they think when creating a new product The important things you should consider if you want to self-fund your business Why ‘fun’ is a value that they inject into the business and brand each day How they’ve designed Ultra Violette around their lifestyle, and not the other way around Find us at www.ladybrains.com.au Follow us on Instagram @lady.brains Chat to us in the Facebook group, the lady-brains clubhouse See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
EPISODE 115./Good morning everyone! (gooood morning Lisa and Alex). We have some important news for you all… Things around here are going to be changing. We had a catch up with our friends at Acast this week, and we're keen to get our listener (that's you)'s input on the updates we're planning to make to our show! Please tune in to provide us with your feedback - we do this for you and would hate for you all to hate our podcast if things change too dramatically! You can DM us @allbasescovered.pod or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts to share your thoughts on our suggested changes. Getting into beauty news… This week we're coining Jeffree Star as the boy who cried wolf after an ill-timed accident that he was involved in over the week with a long time friend. Reality or fake news? You be the judge. Speaking of people being dodgy, this week it was announced that James Charles has been dropped by Morphe and Demonetised by YouTube. New things this week include weddings, babies and product launches from Ultra Violette, Hourglass, Esmi, and Lisa Eldridge. This week we trialled the Dior Backstage Face and Body foundation. Time for us to discuss the claims, our thoughts and how we find that this foundation compares to the cult MAC Face and Body foundation alternative. Finally, our beauty faves, non beauty faves and athletic chocolate nutty snacks to see us out!

Hello angels. In our last installment of our #VeryUltra summer (we're heartbroken too), we're thrilled to be talking to Tik Tok sensation—830,000 followers and counting—and trans activist AJ Clementine. AJ began her career on Youtube, offering a raw and vulnerable depiction of her own experiencing transitioning. Now, she's one of the most formidable emerging forces in the Australian media, working with the country's biggest fashion and beauty brands, including being the first trans model to front an underwear campaign for Bonds. We talk to AJ about the pitfalls of having such a prolific online presence, what it's like to have the internet obsess over your relationship, how important it is to have healthy depictions of transness in pop culture, among many other things. We truly could not think of a more Ultra moment to leave our series on—we can't wait for you to listen, and please rate, review, and subscribe.

Hello angels. In the latest installment of our #VeryUltra summer, we're talking to the talented, wonderful Mavournee Hazel. Mav is, to us, the definition of ‘Very Ultra'—firstly, just, aesthetically (if you're one of her 90,000 Instagram followers you'll already be obsessed with her style). More importantly, she is one of Australia's most talented young actresses, regularly dubbed ‘The Next Margot Robbie'. That's, in part, because she had a three-year stint on Neighbours, and has recently broken out on her own starring in the critically acclaimed Aussie drama series Halifax: Retribution. Refreshingly, Mavournee says her sights aren't necessarily set on cracking it in Hollywood—she has a long-time love of the Australian film and TV, and is passionate about supporting the local industry. She's also an advocate for diversifying our media landscape, and—inspired by the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge—has aspirations to produce and direct projects about complicated female characters. Mavournee is hilarious, a total open book, and extremely candid about her own mental health struggles—we absolutely adored this conversation and can't wait for you to listen.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment in AWD's #VeryUltra Summer. This week, we're setting our sights on LA, speaking to one of our favourite people on the internet, comedian Alyssa Limperis. Alongside Jordan Firstman, Ziwe, and Mary Beth Barone, Alyssa's Instagram content was the saving grace of lockdown—her hilarious videos have earned her more than 100,000 followers, and a coveted spot on New York Magazine's round-up of 2020's most influential comedians. Alyssa's specialty is dark comedy, often mining the worst periods in her life—including struggles with disordered eating and the death of her father—and spinning them into nuanced, poignant, hilarious comedy skits. We talk to Alyssa about how social media is ushering in a new school of comedians, learning to cope with constant rejection, learning to find humour in life's hardest moments, and, most importantly, why comedians always date other comedians. We know you're going to love it.This episode is bought to you by our friends at Ultra Violette, who has partnered with After Work Drinks for the whole summer.

Hello muffins. This week we're thrilled to be talking to Kath Ebbs, the Australian model, vlogger, and influencer who has a growing audience of 60,000 followers (and counting) thanks to her sex positive, queer-inclusive social media presence, and her wellness-focused website, Cath Me Kath. We specifically wanted to speak to Kath for our #VeryUltra summer because what she's doing is, to us, the definition of being Very Ultra—aside from using her considerable platform to speak candidly about her mental health battles and how her relationship with food and wellness has helped her manage crippling anxiety, Kath is best known for her work rallying the Australian government to make sex education queer-inclusive. We speak to Kath about how an inclusive sex education would have transformed her life as a teenager, her decision to stop drinking aged 18 (and how to ward off inevitable comments and judgement if you want to do the same), making your relationship work in quarantine, and how she's learned to redefine 'wellness' on her own terms.As always, please rate, review, and subscribe—and you can follow Kath on Instagram, or visit her website here.We are so happy you guys are loving the #VeryUltra summer so far, please remember to keep sending in your best Very Ultra moments to win a skincare prize pack from Ultra Violette (email hello@afterworkdrinks.net with your voice note)—and that you get 10% off your next order, all summer long, by entering AWD10 at the checkout.

Hello angels, and a happy new year! This week we're talking to actual ray of sunshine Charlee Fraser—one of the most successful models to come out of Australia in the last decade. Charlee was scouted within a year of finishing high school, and quickly became a darling of the world of high fashion, walking for (among others) Chanel, Prada, Versace, Valentino and Dior. Plus, she was something of a muse for Phoebe Philo, wearing era-defining looks in Philo's final collections for Celine, and has appeared on the cover of Harper's BAZAAR and multiple international editions of Vogue. Charlee is also a proud Awabakal woman, and is using her considerable influence to encourage Indigenous representation in all facets of the Australian fashion industry. She has recently become the ambassador for First Nation Fashion + Design, an initiative that offers skill development and access to industry contacts for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander designers, textile artists, jewellery designs, photographers, hair and makeup artists, stylists and models. When we spoke to Charlee, she had just returned from two weeks On Country, an experience she says changed her life.We talk to Charlee about the strange contradiction that so many models suffer from self-esteem (and how to battle your inner saboteur during castings); how the power dynamics have shifted behind the scenes since #MeToo; being a central part of some of the most iconic collections in recent fashion history; and how to achieve real inclusivity in Australian fashion.

This week we're talking to Abbie Chatfield, the most iconic human to come out of the 'The Bachelor' Australia universe, who single-handedly took on the series' weird, conservative attitude toward sex and (as far we see it) won. We talk to Abbie about dating post-reality TV; the mental health tolls constant internet abuse takes on a person; the way reality TV sanctifies insecure women; the 'wifey' archetype; how insane it is that, as an Australian size 8, she is heralded as the face of body positivity in Australian media, and how Ex Boyfriend That I Love became Ex Boyfriend That I Despise. As Abbie would say, it's a lot.Listen to It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield here.This episode is bought to you by our friends at Ultra Violette, who has partnered with After Work Drinks for the whole summer.

This episode we're chatting to the inimitable Sophia Roe. Sophia is a chef and wellness advocate whose entire career is built on the basis that food is inherently political. Her new Vice series, Counter Space, looks at the world's most pressing political issues through the lens of food, from the innovation of 3D meat in Spain, to how Mexico is tackling deadly diseases by banning overproduced food, and the way political dissent in Hong Kong is directly tied to street food culture. Sophia is infectiously obsessed with food, equality, and racial justice—and has amassed a cool 270,000 Instagram followers with her informative daily Instagram Lives, covering everything from code-switching to spiritual bypassing, and redlining. In May Gigi Hadid had Sophia on her Instagram channel to discuss racial justice, and she has been an endless source of education and inspiration to us both this year. Listen now, and fall in love.You can follow Sophia on Instagram here, and watch 'Counter Space' here.Sophia's book recommendation:Working By Studs TerkelAfter The Rain By Alexandra ElleThis episode is bought to you by our friends at Ultra Violette, who has partnered with After Work Drinks for the whole summer.
