16 Sephora Gifts for Kids (Who Don't Really Need Skincare)

Looking for a gift for a kid who loves Sephora, but aren’t sure where to start? You’re in the right place!

We’re starting a list of the best Sephora gifts for kids, including any kid-safe skincare, non-toxic makeup, and other gentle beauty products for kids that we’ve found at Sephora.

The Sephora kids trend means that many young girls are getting excited about skin care, with Sephora products for tweens topping many a wishlist. Yet, dermatologists are clear that when it comes to children’s skincare, all they really need is a gentle cleanser, broad spectrum sunscreen, and moisturizer (if their skin is dry). They caution that many of these skincare products are simply not suitable for young skin, causing damage and irritation, and especially warn against products with “active” ingredients, like retinols and retinoids.

Fortunately, there are still plenty of fun beauty gifts for tweens and other kid-safe skincare to be found at Sephora - they just take a little effort to find. Dr. Brooke Jeffy is a dermatologist who offers helpful and practical advice on Instagram about appropriate skin care products for tweens and teens, often focusing on the Sephora products that are trending with girls. And of course, we parents can help each other out, by sharing our favorite age-appropriate Sephora products for tweens below!
