Well...about me. I started making lotions and lip balms several years ago. At first I did it for fun, but over time I became interested in experimenting with more natural ingredients that felt better on my skin and were better for the earth. From there, I began developing functional products that became a part of my everyday life like fly spray for my horse, hand creme to soften and heal my hands after a day at the barn, and chamois butter to soothe during and after riding my bike.

During development of these products, I have come up with a combination of natural ingredients that are moisturizing and good for the skin using essential oils to scent them with rather than fragrances, which tend to irritate my skin.

After joining a friend of mine to sell products at a craft fair in the summer of 2007, I decided to make The Sweet Project official. Then with the support of many members of my cycling club I was able to launch it!

My selection is growing and I am constantly experimenting (on myself and willing friends!). So check the site often to see what fun and functional things I am creating and please let me know of any new helpful natural ingredients that you may know of - I would love to hear about them!

Peace and hugs,
Amy Lou
