Children love to wear make-up to play, dress up and invent colorful characters. But their skin is not like that of adults: thinner, more sensitive, more exposed. Not all products are suitable, even those sold in supermarkets or disguised as toys. So how can you be sure to choose make-up that's safe for your child's skin? What criteria should you take into account to avoid allergens and other undesirable substances? Here we give you the keys to healthy, happy and safe playtime.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Why use specific products for children<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

An immature skin barrier<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Children's skin has not yet developed all its defenses. The epidermis is thinner. The cutaneous barrier is less impermeable, allowing more substances to pass through. As a result, ingredients that are harmless to adults can cause redness, itching or allergic reactions in children. So it's essential to choose products that have been specifically tested for sensitive skin and are free from irritating ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Less defense against chemicals<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Dyes, synthetic fragrances, conservators<\/a> powerful: these ingredients are common in non-organic make-up, even for children. They are responsible for irritation and contact dermatitis in the youngest children. As early as 2013, investigations revealed the presence of heavy metals and endocrine disruptors in certain cosmetic products. This underscores the importance of checking the composition of cosmetics, and of choosing brands that play the transparency card.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Prolonged and repeated use<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Children aren't satisfied with express make-up. They apply it themselves and keep it on for hours. They take it off and put it back on the next day... So many reasons to choose gentle formulas and products that are easy to wash off with water. Aggressive or hard-to-remove formulas can weaken skin over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How to recognize safe make-up for children?<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Gentle, clear, easy-to-read ingredients<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The first thing to do? Read the INCI list (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients). At Namaki, you'll find it on the back of our packaging and on our website. Safe make-up for children favors short formulas, composed of ingredients of natural origin, with no superfluous additives. Exit PEGs - ingredients derived from Polyethylene Glycol, produced by petrochemicals and used in conventional cosmetics - and parabens, silicones<\/a> or artificial fragrances. Instead: gentle plant extracts, mineral pigments and non-aggressive texturizing agents. If the list looks more like a chemical cocktail than a plant-based recipe... run away!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Among the most serious are Cosmos Organic through the Cosmebio charter, and Ecocert. They guarantee a certain percentage of organic ingredients, the absence of controversial elements and ethical manufacturing practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>
