Use with care
- Fragrance or essential oils (Parfum (Fragrance), Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Geraniol): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Teen-friendly
No ingredients we flag for teens. Acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are fine.
Helps with acne: Niacinamide.
