It’s no secret that the Sephora and Ulta kids craze is taking over the internet, especially TikTok. I was positive my almost nine-year-old daughter was safe from being interested in shopping for beauty products for the next few years, but as a beauty writer, she’s been exposed to my testing reviews and the endless products that get delivered to my desk. And while I don’t let her try anything but lip gloss, she’s been begging for skincare thanks to hearing all the kids talk about it at school. After weeks of non-stop pleas of “please, Mom, can I get some skincare,” I gave in.
Once we arrived to our local beauty store, my daughter, Henley, began filling a basket to which I quickly vetoed. Most ingredients in popular skincare picks are too harsh for young skin, and I wasn’t comfortable with her using the products. But when she picked up this moisturizer from Bubble Skincare, I couldn’t say “no.”
Bubble Skincare includes affordable, cruelty-free, and plant-based products that are excellent for use on their own or as part of a complete routine. The Slam Dunk Moisturizer is packed with gentle ingredients like aloe leaf juice (to soothe skin), vitamin E (an antioxidant that helps to restore skin cell health), and avocado oil (to nourish dry skin, reduce redness, soften, and moisturize). The formula also includes blue light protection, which protects and repairs damage to the light. Lastly, hoya lacunose flower extract leaves the skin with a radiant glow.
The combination of ingredients creates a lightweight and creamy moisturizer that absorbs immediately into the skin. My daughter shares that it feels ” so good” on the skin. Overall, in her words: “It slays.”
Aside from its impressive (and safe) ingredient list, the moisturizer packaging is something special, too. It comes in a compact tub that’s topped with a dispenser which doses out the right amount of product each time. My daughter loves that she can just press it down, and the product releases without creating a mess.
And for $16, this stuff lasts forever. Ok, not for an eternity, but it’s been over a month, and there’s still tons product left — a win for parents! Head to Bubble Skincare now to stock up on this tween-approved moisturizer, plus shop the brand’s other bestsellers.
