Choosing safe products for children
Last updated Sep 8, 2026
Children's skin is thinner and absorbs more readily than adult skin, so less is usually better.
General guidance
- Introduce one new product at a time and leave a few days to notice any reaction.
- Read the ingredient list and the age guidance on the pack.
- Store away from heat and direct sun, and out of reach of children.
- Stop use immediately if redness or irritation appears.
For sensitive skin or any existing skin condition, consult a paediatrician before introducing a new product.
