Is It Okay for Our Kids to Wear Makeup?
Are You Worried About Your Child Wearing Makeup?
The age at which kids start using cosmetics is getting younger. It's now common to see middle and high school students going to school with makeup on, and even some elementary school children have begun using beauty products. However, children and teenagers are still in their growth phase, and their skin is thinner and more sensitive than adults. So, if they use cosmetics, it’s especially important to carefully check the ingredients and how much they’re using. Teenagers going through puberty are also more prone to oil buildup due to increased hormone production, which means using the wrong cosmetics can lead to skin issues. That’s why extra caution is needed.
For Kids' Cosmetics, Always Check the Ingredient List First!
There are many cosmetic products on the market labeled specifically for infants and children. When these products are manufactured, they must comply with regulations set by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which prohibit the use of ingredients that could potentially cause allergies or other health issues. However, some companies are still occasionally found violating these rules, so experts recommend that parents carefully read the labels and instructions when purchasing such products.
For example, cosmetics for infants and children under 13 must not contain certain colorants like Amaranth (Red No. 2) or New Coccine (Red No. 102). Additionally, products for children under the age of 3 must not include salicylic acid—except for wash-off items like shampoo. Ingredients such as butylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben, and isopropylparaben should also not be used on areas where diapers touch, unless they are in rinse-off products. If your child’s skin turns red, swells, or becomes itchy after using a cosmetic, it’s best to stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.
