Tis the season for giving and receiving, and one item sneaking on the list among the younger crowds is makeup. However, all makeup is NOT created equal, especially when it comes to kids and toddlers who don’t want to feel left out. When selecting makeup for young ones, avoid harsh alcohols, parabens, fragrance, heavy metals, synthetic dyes, and other harmful synthetic ingredients. A considerable option for your little one is pretend makeup mad e to look and feel very realistic to the touch. This allows them to enjoy learning through play as they imitate the world around them. Pretend makeup is perfect if you do not actually want your young one putting on harsh/potentially harmful chemicals on their sensitive skin.
