Choosing safe products for children
Last updated Aug 12, 2026
Start with gentle formulas
Choose products free of strong fragrance and dyes, and formulated specifically for children.
Mind the age range
The age range on the pack is not marketing guidance — formulations genuinely differ between newborns and older children.
Patch test
Try a small amount on a limited area of skin and wait a day before full use.
Check expiry and storage
Review the expiry date and the period-after-opening, and store products away from direct heat and humidity.
Ask a doctor
For sensitive skin or any existing skin condition, consult your pediatrician before introducing a new product.
