Makeup can cause allergies in children

Makeup can cause allergies in children

It all starts with an imitation, a child's play. The girl sees her mother or some other adult making up and wants to do the same. Sometimes the girl's insistence is such that it is difficult not to put the lipstick on her lips or make her cheeks rosy.

For the dermatologist Meire Brasil Parada, from the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp), make-ups should not be used by children. "They do not need it, but if they do, always use cosmetics for their age," she said. The same recommendation is given by the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (Anvisa)

According to the Children's Cosmetic Primer created by the organ, children's products are elaborated to maintain the child's skin characteristics. They are dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic in character, which reduces the risk of allergies.

According to Anvisa, Brazil is one of the world's largest markets for children's cosmetics. Therefore, the care with the quality of what is consumed must be redoubled. One way to buy a quality product is to check the packaging if it is registered by the agency. But the higher the demand, the greater the supply, and unfortunately, this logic does not obey the marketing of safe goods.

Attention to labels

Store shelves of cheap imported products are filled with children's makeup kits. "If the child uses it, leave it as little as possible with it," says Meire.

This, by the way, is an essential requirement for children's makeup: to be low fixation power and be easily removed with water.

Each shade of blush and lipstick type is tested to assess the potential for irritation, sensitization and oral toxicity.

Alert to adults

- Supervise the use of cosmetics by children. In case of itching, irritation or allergy, stop use of the product immediately and seek medical advice.

- Cosmetic packaging for children must be free of toxic substances and may not be presented as aerosol. dolls and other toys sold as toys can not be used on children as they are not formulated with ingredients suitable for children's skin and do not provide the necessary safety.

There are two types of stretch marks when thinking about the therapeutic approach: red and white. As the red streaks still show signs of inflammation, some therapeutic interventions may help shorten the process, reduce or narrow the striae even if it is not. Both types of stretch marks have indications of treatment and improvement, but since reds can respond better, doctors invest more for their care.
