Imaginative play is serious work for young children. Often, young girls use make-up during imaginative play or role playing games. However, cosmetics are created for adults that have a higher tolerance for the chemicals in cosmetics. It’s a natural part of growing up and a form of expression for girls to want to dress up and ‘be like mommy’. Young girls often use nail polish to complete their look. When choosing a safe nail polish for little girls to use during imaginative play, look for nail polish that:
• is made of water, acrylic polymer and non-toxic colourants
• is hypoallergenic, biodegradable and 100% water soluble
• has a no animal testing policy
Benefits to allowing young girls to use water based, chemical free nail polish during imaginative play, instead of standard nail polish, include:
• water based chemical free nail polish will wash off with water and soap when playtime
• chemical removers are not required
• children are not being exposed to harmful chemicals during imaginative play
• high gloss, salon quality finish with a gentle fragrance that dries within three minutes
• spills and messes can be cleaned up quickly and easily, leaving no stains
• peace of mind for parents that their young girls are not being exposed to harmful chemicals during imaginative play
Ingredients to avoid when choosing nail polish include:
• formaldehyde, dibutylphthalate (DBP) and toluene.
Painting our little girls’ nails is often considered a treat for them. What is the right age to allow little girls to paint their nails? The answer is simple – when mom and dad decide.
