Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Use with care
- Vitamin C active (ascorbic acid): Dermatologists say children don't need vitamin C serums and that they can cause redness, burning, or peeling on young skin (American Academy of Dermatology, American Academy of Pediatrics). We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
- Fragrance or essential oils (Salvia Sclarea Oil, Ylang-ylang Flower Oil, Lavender Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil): 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)
Use with care
- Essential oils (Salvia Sclarea Oil, Ylang-ylang Flower Oil, Lavender Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil): A known cause of allergic skin reactions, such as to lavender and tea tree oils.
