Sonia Summers
Shielded Beauty Founder & CEO Sonia Summers began her career working in-house for global powerhouses like Avon, where her team won WWD’s highly coveted “Best Executed Brand Launch” award in 2014. In 2015 she launched Beauty Barrage, an outsourced sales management agency complete with a highly successful and modern field team – helping to create signature experiences and a “human touch” at retail. Beauty Barrage represents an impressive portfolio of brands including: L’Oreal, PerriconeMD, The Proactiv Company, Unilever, Coty, Nudestix, Dermaflash and many others.
Back in 2020 when the COVID crisis unfolded, Sonia found herself constantly searching for a safer way to protect our skin — but she couldn’t find any highly-effective purifying products that also prioritized nourishing the skin’s microbiome. Sonia felt like she shouldn’t have to compromise on luxury for efficacy, she decided to start developing the products that she was desperately looking for herself!
