Lou Lou’s began life at a supermarket checkout, with a mum being nagged for a treat. Just like a million mums before her, she was saying no and struggling to explain why. Someone should make sweets that are actually good for kids, she thought… and she could actually do something about it.
As an experienced food industry professional, Louise Carr-Smith (Lou Lou to her friends!) has spent much of her work life in development kitchens, creating brilliant new products. As a mum, she’s spent much of her home life trying to make sure her kids eat properly.
She decided to bring all this expertise together and got to work, devising her own recipes. They had to use the best ingredients, she decided. Real fruit, nothing artificial. Not only that, she wanted them to be really good for you. Most importantly of all, they had to be lip-smackingly, mind-blowingly delicious.
It wasn’t easy. But after several years of recipe tweaking, efficacy-testing and market research, Louise finally had her recipes and Lou Lou’s was born! Every single one of our carefully crafted products is supercharged with goodness – a fully daily allowance of vitamin C – all without anything bad for your teeth.
Today Louise is on a mission to revolutionise confectionery, and make sure kids are getting the vitamins they need and protect their teeth. Because kids deserve the best. And parents deserve a break.
