As parents, we always want what’s best for our kids—and that includes what goes on their skin. With so many children’s cosmetics available, choosing safe and gentle options can feel overwhelming. That's why we made this guide to help you understand kid makeup. You can feel sure your child is playing safely while being creative.
Why Choose Safe Makeup for Kids?
Children have delicate, sensitive skin that reacts differently to ingredients compared to adults. Makeup for kids should use safe, gentle, and natural ingredients. These ingredients should not irritate or harm their skin.
At Oh Flossy, we design all of our kids' makeup products with safety in mind. Our formulas are:
- Free from harsh chemicals
- Made with natural, vegan ingredients
- Easy to remove with just water
If you want your child's first makeup set or are changing from regular products, choosing safe options is a good choice.
Ingredients to Avoid in Children’s Cosmetics
When looking at any children's makeup set, always check the label. Look for ingredients that might cause irritation or harm over time. Avoid:
- Parabens
- Artificial dyes
- Fragrances
- Talc
- Phthalates
- Petroleum-based oils
These are often found in conventional adult cosmetics but can be too harsh for children’s skin. Instead, opt for plant-based colours, essential oils, and natural waxes, like those found in our Deluxe Kids Makeup Set.

How Easy Is It to Remove Kids Makeup?
One of the biggest concerns parents have is how easily they can remove the makeup. We get it—no one wants to scrub a child’s face raw at the end of the day. That's why all Oh Flossy makeup is activated by water. It washes off easily with just water, so no scrubbing or removers are needed.
Pair makeup time with our Kid’s Cosmetic Headband to keep hair out of the way and make cleanup even easier.
Best Age-Appropriate Makeup for Kids
Not all kid makeup sets are created equal. Our products are suitable for children aged 3 and up, offering:
- A gentle introduction to creative play
- Confidence-building through self-expression
- A screen-free activity that encourages imagination
For older kids who want to learn about skincare, our Fresh Face Starter Kit is a fun and gentle way to start healthy habits.
Commitment to global safety through toy and cosmetic compliance
At Oh Flossy, we believe that safe, gentle products should also be joyful to use. That’s why every item in our range is carefully formulated with vegan-friendly, non-toxic, and naturally derived ingredients, specially made for children’s sensitive skin.
We don’t just talk the talk—we back it up. Our products meet key international safety regulations, including:
-
EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which governs ingredient safety and how products are labelled.
-
REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006), which helps protect health and the environment by controlling chemical use.
To give parents even more peace of mind, our products are also certified under the European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC, ensuring they meet strict standards for toys sold across Europe.
And because safety is an ongoing commitment, we’ve appointed a Responsible Person in both the EU and UK to oversee and uphold our cosmetic compliance in these regions.
Final Tips for Choosing Children’s Makeup
