A Parent-Friendly Guide From a Children’s Cosmetics Manufacturer**

As a parent, it’s completely normal to worry about what goes onto your child’s skin — especially when it comes to kids’ makeup.

Today, children love playful beauty products: glittery lip gloss, peelable nail polish, cute character palettes…

But are kids’ makeup products actually safe?

As a professional children’s cosmetics manufacturer for over 20 years — supplying products for major European and U.S. retailers — here is the truth every parent should know.

🧸 1. Kids’ Makeup ≠ Adult Makeup

One of the biggest misunderstandings is:

👉 “Kids’ makeup is just smaller adult makeup.”

No — and it should NEVER be.

Adult cosmetics are not designed for young, sensitive skin.

Adult makeup can contain:

• Strong pigments
• Fragrance allergens
• Preservatives
• Colorants not allowed for children
• Heavy metals at levels that adults may tolerate but kids should avoid

This is why we always warn parents:

Please do NOT let children use adult makeup.

Kids’ formulas must be gentler, lighter, and made with safe ingredients that follow strict children’s product regulations.

🎨 2. What Makes Kids’ Makeup Safe?

High-quality children’s makeup should follow TWO sets of regulations:

✔ FDA cosmetic safety rules

Covers safe colorants, ingredients, and correct labeling.

✔ CPSC & ASTM F963 toy safety standards

Covers heavy metals, micro-particles, material safety, and child-safe packaging.

Because children’s makeup is considered a hybrid: toy + cosmetic, it must pass tougher safety tests than adult makeup.

At Fondbeauti, we follow:

• FDA (U.S.)
• CPSIA Children’s Product Law
• ASTM F963 Toy Safety Standard
• EN71 & EU Cosmetic Regulations
• Prop 65 (California)

These are the same requirements demanded by retailers like PRIMARK, Disney, Target, etc.

💧 3. Why Kids’ Eyeshadow & Makeup Color Looks Lighter

Many parents ask us:

“Why is kids’ makeup not as pigmented as adult makeup?”

Because:

👉 Safe children’s formulas must use mild colorants.

👉 Heavy pigments can irritate young skin and eyes.

So yes — kids’ colors are intentionally soft, gentle, and easy to wash off.

This is not “low quality” — it’s good safety design.

❌ 4. Ingredients Parents Should Avoid in Kids’ Makeup

When shopping for kids’ makeup, avoid these:

🚫 Parabens

Can cause irritation or endocrine concerns.

🚫 Fragrance allergens

Unless tested safe for children.

🚫 Non-FDA-approved colorants

Some dyes are not allowed for lips or eyes.

🚫 High heavy metal content

Cheap glitter and pigments may contain lead or nickel.

🚫 Unknown factories / untested products

Many low-cost sets online skip safety testing.

✔ 5. What to Look for When Choosing Kids’ Makeup

Choose brands that clearly state:

🌿 Vegan & kid-safe formula

Gentle ingredients appropriate for young skin.

🎀 Tested to ASTM F963 & CPSIA

A MUST for children’s beauty products.

🧪 FDA-approved color additives

Especially for lips & eyes.

📦 Proper labeling

Shows ingredients + net weight + warnings (e.g., 3+).

📋 Transparent manufacturing

Brands that openly share their testing & standards are more trustworthy.

Fondbeauti openly provides safety standards because we manufacture our own products — not outsourced to unknown factories.

💝 **6. The Bottom Line:

Kids’ Makeup CAN Be Safe — If You Choose the Right Brands**

Children love beautiful things.

We love them even more.

That’s why kids deserve products that are:

• Safe
• Gentle
• Fun
• Professionally tested

Not adult makeup repackaged in cute colors.
