Summary

Enjoy this video podcast on ⁠Spotify⁠ and ⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠! What happens when two event production directors, Emily Doyle and Mei Kwok, come together in a dreamy co-founder marriage? They give birth to an incredible baby, of course! That baby is Dune Suncare, the first-ever “clear gel suncare line packed with clinically proven skincare benefits.” It all began back in March 2020, at the beginning of Covid. Without much else going on, Emily and Mei knew their dream business could not wait. The decision to launch a suncare line didn't take much deliberation. They agreed from the start that their brand had to speak to everyone and be accessible. Cut to three and a half years later and Emily and Mei’s baby is a massive success. You can find Dune Suncare products everywhere from boutiques and hotels to big-name retail stores like Ulta and online retailer Amazon, making them accessible for everyone. What is the secret to their success? Taking time to nurture their own relationship as well as the relationships with everyone who helped launch their dream baby. Thanks for listening!
