This is one of the most common questions we hear from mums!

Young skin doesn’t need 10 step routines or harsh actives. What it does need is gentle, barrier boosting formulas and a simple routine they’ll actually stick to.

With TikTok trends and influencers everywhere, tweens are constantly exposed to the same products and brands we use as adults.

Not only can this get expensive fast, but many of these products simply aren’t suitable for young, developing skin. They’re often too harsh or contain active ingredients that can do more harm than good.

On the flip side, there are plenty of super cheap options out there with questionable ingredients that we’d rather keep far away from our kids’ faces.

Starting them off with the right products now is also a brilliant opportunity to teach them proper skincare habits – how to care for their skin, why ingredients matter and that less is often more!

These are lessons they’ll carry with them for life, and it beats them raiding your expensive serums.

YES! We spent over 18 months working alongside a New Zealand manufacturer with a leading team of chemists, who developed our formulas from scratch.

We didn’t just slap our label on generic products – we spent months researching, testing & perfecting formulas specifically designed for young skin – made right here in NZ!

We wanted to create something that didn’t exist yet: Korean inspired skincare, that’s made in NZ & gentle enough for tweens and teens, and made with ingredients we’d happily use on our own kids!

Our products have been formulated for 8-16 year olds. That being said, many Mums also use the range. It’s gentle, nourishing & suitable for any age that needs hydration.

Cleanse morning and night (yes, every day!), moisturise daily after cleansing and treat yourself to the mask 1-2 times a week.

Korean skincare (K Beauty) philosophy is all about gentle, nourishing ingredients that strengthen your skin barrier (this is where the glass skin look comes in!)

K-beauty formulas tend to be lightweight, hydrating & packed with skin-loving ingredients like centella, green tea & hyaluronic acid that soothe and protect without overloading teen skin. 

Unlike traditional skincare bottles that have a straw or tube inside to draw product up, our airless pump works on a vacuum system. Instead of pulling product down from a tube, it pushes it upward from the bottom of the bottle.

This means you get every single drop of product with zero waste . No half empty bottles with product stuck at the bottom that you can't reach.

Getting it started for the first time

Because it's a vacuum system, the lid needs to be screwed on firmly to create an airtight seal before it will work. Once the lid is tight, it usually takes quite a few firm pumps to prime it - this is completely normal!

You're essentially pushing the air out and getting the product moving for the first time. It can feel like nothing is happening at first, but keep going - once it starts flowing, it'll work perfectly every time after that.

In short:

• Screw the lid on tight before pumping
• Expect several firm pumps the first time this is normal
• Once primed, it pumps easily every use
• No tube inside means no wasted product left at the bottom
• The bottle base rises as product is used - that's the vacuum system doing its job

Why we chose it

We wanted to make sure you get every drop of what you paid for. Airless pumps also keep the formula fresher for longer by limiting air exposure. Better for your skin, and better for the product.

We wanted to turn your skincare routine into an experience, not just another thing to tick off your list. So we included a small amount of specially formulated fragrance to add that extra feel good factor.

But here’s the important bit: it’s allergen free, phthalate free and specially formulated to be super gentle on your skin. We’re not out here loading up products with random stuff that could irritate your face.

Just a little sensory boost to make your routine feel that bit more special.
