Cosmetics for active women. Developed, tested, and proven at the highest professional level.
WHY SWEAT BEGAN
As Olympians and professional soccer players, we know on an intimate level how much damage and stress we put our skin through. However, there are no cosmetic products on the market specifically designed for women who exercise. We know what its like to walk into a beauty store and have a slight feeling of hopelessness. We have gone through countless bottles of cosmetics that either run down our face, clog our pores, cause breakouts, or don’t last. Finding cosmetics that last during a workout and don’t irritate your skin while sweating is a difficult task. We knew we couldn’t be the only ones with this problem because there are so many women that lead active lifestyles. After years of searching for the perfect product and never finding it, we decided to create it ourselves.
Sweat’s goal is to narrow the gap between beauty and fitness. We will create simple, natural products that protect, nourish, and allows women to look and feel beautiful when they workout or live actively. We are developing a brand that will differentiate from the competitive landscape in image, product uniqueness, and function. Sweat was created by athletes to withstand their toughest workouts, but made for every woman who is or aspires to be active everyday.
Sweat will be the only cosmetic line that is solely created and formulated with the active female in mind. Simply put, we create cosmetics for women who sweat. We will create products for a niche of women that all other companies have missed. All aspects of our products will be carefully thought out to meet the needs of women just like us. While our first idea was to create products that were able to withstand the toughest of workouts, our most important objective is to offer women products that will protect and repair their skin before, during, and after sweating. We want women to feel comfortable, confident, and protected in any condition, with the products they use on their skin. Sweat will be the first athletically proven cosmetic brand.
Sweat has raised enough money to purchase the inventory of our first product and launch June 2015. The purpose of this campaign is to ask for your support and contribution in helping us grow our product line. We have high expectations for our brand, and we want to offer women a variety of products, but need your help to do so! We have formulas waiting to be produced, such as coconut water + eucalyptus cleansing wipes, SPF 15 tinted lip balm, and the ideal mascara.
Sweat will step into the cosmetic market with one main product: SPF 30 loose mineral powder. Our goal with this first product is to solve the issues that active women have experienced with their other foundations and sunscreen products. The most important of these is women not wearing sunscreen at all. Many women who know they are going to be sweating will skip wearing sunscreen all together because it makes them break-out, runs into their eyes, or melts off their face and onto their clothes – or because it is another step in their routine, a hassle or they simply forget. By using mineral sunscreen and making this an all-in-one product, we hope to eliminate all these problems and create a product that makes suncare effortless.

Where is Sweat manufactured?
The packaging of our product is made in China, however the actual powder product is manufactured in the USA.
Where will Sweat be sold?
Sweat Cosmetics plans to sell online at www.sweatcosmetics.com for the remainder of 2015. Starting 2016, we are planning on building relationships with retail stores.
Is Sweat sweat-proof?
Sweat away! Our translucent mineral powder is water resistant up to 40 minutes. And our mineral foundation is water resistant up to 80 minutes. Both powders are made without silicone, making both powder product breathable, allowing sweat to come through naturally. Tip: If you want the lasting effects of the coverage, pat your skin dry, don’t wipe.
What is the difference between the foundation and the translucent powder?
While both the foundation and translucent powder will be formulated with the same ingredients and have the same SPF, the translucent has a lighter feel and coverage. The foundation has more pigment added to them, giving them a higher level of coverage. Think of the translucent powder as a sunscreen in powder form with added ingredients to nourish your skin. The coverage is completely sheer and can be used alone or over any make up as an SPF finishing powder.
Is Sweat safe for kids?
Absolutely! Our mineral powder products are safe for everyone. Use the translucent powder on your kids, instead of the thick, white and sticky liquid sunscreen formulas!
