The Gentle Approach: Safe Skincare for Young Children
Children are increasingly interested in using skincare, often influenced by trends on platforms like TikTok. Unfortunately, this often involves cheap products that can damage or disrupt their skin. Children's skin is naturally balanced and requires very little – at most a gentle cleanse at the end of the day. Did you know that sebum also has a disinfecting function and should not be removed with harsh products?
Do you still want your child to use skincare? There are safe options. At Abloom, we have several products suitable for young skin:
What Does Children's Skin Need?
Children's skin is sensitive and does not need regenerative ingredients, collagen boosters, or exfoliants. What it does need is hydration, protection, and soothing support for occasional dryness or irritation. Skincare for children should be free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and active ingredients that could disrupt their natural skin balance. Young skin is already balanced and should be cared for gently without disturbing this balance.
Which Abloom Products Are Suitable for Children?
Our products are designed with high-quality organic ingredients, but not all formulas are tailored to the needs of children. For children who want to use skincare, we recommend the gentlest and mildest options:
- Miracle Oil
Our Miracle Oil is a safe, multifunctional product that is perfect for soothing minor irritations or providing extra nourishment for dry spots. With a mix of pure, organic oils, it is a gentle and effective choice for children. It can be used, for example, to soothe chapped skin around the lips or on dry cheeks. - Green Detox Mask
For children curious about masks, the Green Detox Mask is a mild and safe option. This mask can help refresh the skin without causing damage. It contains only natural, gentle ingredients like chlorella and spirulina. - Purifying Cleanser
Formulated with gentle, plant-based ingredients, it is perfect for cleansing without disrupting the skin's natural moisture balance. It is particularly suitable for removing dirt after a day outdoors. - Soothing Lotion
This lotion is a good choice for children with sensitive or troubled skin, such as mild acne or red spots. Designed to calm and hydrate the skin, it contains natural botanical ingredients that support the skin.
These products can be safely used from around the age of 10-12, depending on the skin condition. Another reliable alternative is Weleda's Skin Food. This gentle cream is suitable for dry spots and chapped skin.
