Children's make-up, here in the house that is a thing. How many girls don't want to wear nice make-up, just like mom does? My girl is a real girl-girl in that regard and would prefer to make up every day, children's make-up or not. Of course she doesn't care. But I think differently.

I think it's a shame, because I prefer to see them pure nature (oh, I sound like my mother used to), and that's mainly because I'm a bit afraid that her skin is not yet resistant to this. Now she is only 6, so that is still very young, but she already sees so much around her that she is almost unstoppable. And our teenage girl next door with big eyes (without children's make-up I'm guessing) is of course her great example, you get that.
We now have the agreement that she can sometimes put on some make-up at the weekend, but that's about it. Time for me to immerse myself in the world of children's makeup. Because ordinary make-up is not always safe and I think it is important that we use safe products. Certainly because she wants to work with it herself, of course I can't do it.
And the search for safe children's make-up becomes a fact. Because the children's make-up they sell in the toy stores… I have my doubts about that.
Did you know that chemical-wise nail polish and hair coloring are the most harmful products for your health? To be honest, I hadn't thought about that before, I just thought it wouldn't be too bad. Ultimately, it turns out to be very important that your little princess paints her nails in a healthier way if she wants to become a mommy look-a-like. All chemicals penetrate your nails without mercy!
Water-based nail polish from INDISHA is where you come in. The Suncoatgirl nail polish was designed by a Chemist mom. She had a daughter who also wanted to paint her nails at an early stage. Yingchun Liu looked at the labels and was shocked by all the chemicals on the label. It wouldn't mean much to me, but for Yingchun Liu it was the reason to develop a nail polish that wouldn't be harmful to children.
This nail polish is harmless for your child and therefore certainly belongs to the top of the safe children's make up. Just keep your fingers in warm water and you will peel the nail polish off in no time. Can just go with a new color without the use of acetone!

The Dutch Karlijn Vlasblom is the owner of the children's make up brand Toot! Suitable for sensitive skin and without additives that do not belong in make-up. You can safely use this makeup on your kids if you want. Or have it used of course, because your child will undoubtedly also have a 'do it yourself' mentality. Furthermore, all packaging is also plastic-free and this make-up is not tested on animals. So a big plus.
These make up sets come with beautiful toiletry bags in fun prints that children absolutely love.

If you look at eyeshadow or blush, for example, you will see that most traditional children's make-up usually contains synthetic dyes, synthetic perfume and (other) skin-irritating ingredients. So not nice. Luna Star Organics focuses specifically on high-quality, safe, organic make-up for children. It is 100% natural mineral makeup, non-toxic and hypo-allergenic, without phenoxyethanol. Handy for both young children and teenagers, although the latter target group will probably browse the drugstores a bit further instead of making smart choices.
Hippe Girls also thinks about possible harmful consequences and has added fake make up to its range. Safe children's make-up, guaranteed 100% mess-free.
Do you have an adolescent in tha house who already regularly makes up and to whom you cannot simply say that she is not allowed to do this? You no longer have to bring the safe children's make up to your adolescent, we understand that, but what you can do is the following. Encourage your adolescent to use safe make-up that is also intended for adults. Think, for example, of the biological make-up of Benecos. A beautiful hip and trendy brand.
This brand is available for example at Douglas and you know that it is a lot better for your adolescent's skin than standard make-up.
One of the makeup products that your teenager probably loves is mascara. Let them choose a safe variant that not only gives a nice effect, but also takes care of it.
Greenjump again has a great brand for this. The brand Enhancing is a safe make up for teenagers without parabens, synthetic fragrances and dyes and free of animal testing. They not only have mascara but also a nice line with lotion.
In addition to the safe children's make up that we described above in the form of nail polish and the like, lip gloss is also an important item to focus your attention on. Beautiful, softly colored lips? Fine! But with safe make up of, for example, Glossy lips.

The fact that children's make up really does not always appear to be safe is proven by the latest reports about asbestos in children's make up. You're shocked, aren't you?
Claire's children's makeup has been in the news quite badly in the past quarter due to the asbestos found in the products. All children's make-up products therefore had to be removed from the shelves, but that does not appear to have happened everywhere.
How does the asbestos end up in the make-up? One of the basic ingredients of this children's make-up -but also of many other make-up types- is talcum powder. When excavating this ingredient, sometimes, accidentally, asbestos is included, which is then automatically processed. is going to be. Keep your children away from this make-up, because even though it has the stamp of children's make-up, it is very harmful!
