Now that they’re getting to that age, I’m pretty picky when it comes to the skincare products my girls use. After learning about the not-so-pleasant chemicals lurking in girls skincare and cosmetics—lead, arsenic, and who knows what else—I now pay closer attention.
Sure, my quest for safer alternatives might not win me “Coolest Mom of the Year”, but hey, I can live with that. I’m trying to guide them into leading a healthier lifestyle, and I hope they’ll continue making healthier choices as adults.
So, if you’re like me and care about what goes on your kids’ skin, here are some options known to be more chemical-friendly—check them out!
Evereden Face Duo (My Pick)
My daughter started using this brand about a year ago, and she’s been loving it. They offer a range of scents like melon, peach, and pomelo…we went with melon. Their product line includes everything from multi-vitamin face wash to mineral sunscreen lotion and even eczema treatment. They use gentle ingredients, essential omegas, and vitamins. This one’s a win-win…I get some peace of mind and my daughter gets products she loves.
Natural Outcome 3-Step Skin Care Kit
This one’s specifically made for teens, tweens, and pre-teens, and worth a look into to help fight acne. The kit includes face wash, toner and moisturizer—all made in the USA. They also promise no harmful chemicals, parabens, dyes, or sulfates, and they use natural ingredients like green tea and aloe vera.
Good For You Girls Skincare 3-Step Set
This one caught my eye for a future try. If you’re on the hunt for a skincare line that’s gentle yet effective, with ingredients like aloe, lavender, and chamomile, this could be the one. It’s also hypoallergenic and works for all skin types. They offer an extensive product line, everything from cleanser to body lotion, so your pre-teens are covered for all needs.
Burt’s Bees Gentle Cream Cleanser with Aloe
I’m a big fan of Burt’s Bees for pre-teens. They’re all about using natural, responsibly sourced ingredients and avoiding nasty stuff like parabens and synthetic fragrances. My girls have used this gentle cleanser, their product range includes other cleansers, creams, and lotions that are gentle enough for pre-teen skin.
The Honest Company Face and Body Lotion
Jessica Alba’s Honest Company is another great pick for skincare products. They’re all about keeping things non-toxic and eco-friendly with natural ingredients. It’s perfect for pre-teens who want to keep their skincare simple. The girls have used this lotion and love it. We opted for an unscented version but they do have lightly scented options.
Finding the right skincare products that are better for your pre-teen can be tough…I sincerely hope this list helps. Whatever products you end up choosing, if you go with those that are gentle, effective, and free from those not-so-great chemicals, you’re heading in a great direction.
Thanks for reading, here’s to keeping our kids as happy and healthy as they can be! 😊
