anybody else use these too? 🫣 sorry if this gives you PTSD 🤣 unfortunately, the ingredients in mainstream skincare, makeup, and personal care products haven’t gotten any better. I even think it’s EXTRA important for preteens and teens to avoid endocrine-disrupting ingredients because of their young developing bodies and fluctuating hormones! not to mention... 🚨 shocking levels of lead and cadmium have been found in eye shadows for children [PMID 34771160] 🚨 the FDA found traces of asbestos in Claire’s makeup, a popular store for preteens and teens 🚨 teen girls have been found to use MORE products daily compared to adult women 🚨 a 2016 study tested urine samples of teenage girls before and after eliminating endocrine-disrupting products from their routine. not surprisingly, the chemical levels decreased significantly! thankfully, there are plenty of clean brands nowadays to use instead 😎 SWIPE over to see some products I’d recommend for preteens, tweens, and teens! make sure you head to my blog to read the full post about this! it lists DOZENS more for beauty, skincare, hygiene, and period products for tweens/teens. with lots of discount codes! just tap the LINK IN MY BIO to read. [NOTE: their skincare routines should be super minimal; they do NOT need a complicated 15-step #SephoraKid regimen that will wreck their skin barrier. that being said, my post has lots of great options if you’re looking for something specific]
