Discovering safe Halloween makeup options for children
With Halloween just around the corner, many kids are beginning to dream up their costume ideas, which often involve face paint. Last year, Little G had his entire face painted, but his sensitive skin reacted poorly, leaving him itchy and uncomfortable. He ended up removing all the makeup before the festivities could even begin. This year, we’re committed to ensuring that our little one is comfortable with high-quality, non-toxic makeup that won’t irritate his skin.
