Brand

Summer Fridays

Summer Fridays was co-founded in 2018 by beauty influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland, launching with a single product: the Jet Lag Mask, an instant hydration treatment inspired by the founders' frequent travel schedules. The mask went viral on social media and sold out repeatedly, establishing the brand's identity around travel-friendly, multi-tasking skincare. Summer Fridays has since expanded into a full skincare range including cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and lip products, all maintaining the brand's signature approachable aesthetic. The range is sold through Sephora as a key retail partner. In 2023, Hewitt became sole owner after buying out Ireland's stake, and the brand continues to expand its presence in the clean beauty space.
