There are a few simple ways of checking for the safety of the makeup before buying;
- Check for a CE Mark at the back of the packaging. This is a sign that the Toy has been safety tested and conforms to EU guidelines
- If buying on Amazon; checking reviews/comments can also help
- Ask the seller if the makeup is specifically designed for kids’ skin
- If you have already bought a set then first test on a small part of your child’s body, maybe back of the arm and leave for a few hours to see if there is a reaction
- Read through list of compounds used to make the makeup. I have a section here explaining some of the most common chemical used in making kids make up sets
