With gentle formulations and fun, colourful products, the tiny humans in your life can start exploring the world of beauty in a way that’s safe, simple and actually enjoyable. From fruity lip balms to their very first skincare products, there’s plenty here to make them feel just a little bit grown up.
Here are our picks of the best of the bunch.
Crazy Rumors Lip Balms: Did someone say stocking stuffer? Yep, that’s right. These all-natural Crazy Rumors lip balms are an absolute bargain (what is under $10 these days?!) and make a seriously fun little gift. They nourish and moisturise lips while delivering delicious flavours like Banana Split, Choco Strawberry and Bubble Gum - all without the sugar high. Perfect for Christmas stockings, Secret Santa, party gifts or simply bribing them to stop stealing yours.
Blossom Moisturising Lip Gloss: Teens, tweens and everyone in between will love these “grown-up” lip glosses from Blossom. Available in fun fruity scents like raspberry, mango and strawberry, they look luxe, taste fruity and come infused with real dried flowers for that extra wow factor. Basically, everything a budding beauty lover could want in a gloss.
Ingredients Face Cleanser: If they’re heading into teendom and their skin is starting to change, this is an ideal introduction to a proper skincare routine. Suitable from ages 6+, the Ingredients Face Cleanser contains just eight plant-based ingredients and has a mild yet effective formula that cleans without upsetting the delicate pH balance of the skin. It also supports the skin microbiome, making it a simple, gentle option for younger skin. No complicated 12-step routine required. Just clean skin and a great place to start.
Gracious Minds Brightening Sheet Mask: Because apparently being a tween or teen means discovering the joy of a face mask - and honestly, we’re here for it. The Gracious Minds Brightening Sheet Mask is a fun little addition to a pamper night and makes a great gift for teens who are starting to get interested in skincare. It’s the perfect excuse for a little downtime, whether they’re having a sleepover with friends, getting ready for a special occasion or simply enjoying some at-home self-care.
Put a few of these together and you’ve got a beauty-loving kid, tween or teen covered. Start with a fruity Crazy Rumors lip balm, add a Blossom gloss, throw in a sheet mask and finish with a gentle cleanser for the beginnings of their very own beauty routine.
Fun, affordable and just grown-up enough to make them feel special - without handing them the entire contents of your bathroom cabinet.
