As parents, our world often revolves our kids – we do everything for them, with their best interests at heart. However, there are some times when we just get it wrong. When they are babies, we make sure that we use baby care products for them, like soap, baby powder, body lotion and such. But as soon as they reach the toddler stages, we directly graduate them to products that are meant for adults. We use the same products for our little ones that we use, without giving much thought of how harsh they could be on their skin and hair. It is important that we choose products that are specially formulated for kids and teens. 

At Tikitoro, we understand how delicate the skin and hair of children – both kids and teenagers – really is and how important it is that you choose personal care products that are created especially for them. You want to pick products that are high on natural ingredients, rather than chemicals and fillers. They should have the luxury of using products which cleanse gently, nourish deeply and nurture carefully! Tikitoro was created by a mom who understood all this and choose to create a range of products that she would use happily for her own little ones. 

So, when you want the best of personal care products for your kids and teens, come to Tikitoro! 

Why the need for products that are specially formulated for kids and teens

The need for personal care products specially formulated for kids and teens arises from the unique characteristics and requirements of their developing skin, hair, and overall health. Specially formulated personal care products for kids and teens cater to their unique physiological needs, ensure safety, and promote early adoption of healthy habits. These tailored solutions are essential for fostering physical well-being and emotional confidence during their formative years.

• Sensitive and developing skin - Children's skin is thinner, more sensitive, and less resilient than adult skin. This makes them more prone to irritation and reactions from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives often found in general personal care products. On the other hand, adolescence brings hormonal changes that affect the skin, often resulting in issues like acne, excess oil production, or dryness. Formulas for teens need to balance these changes while being gentle.
• Gentle and non-toxic formulations - Harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, and synthetic dyes can damage young and developing skin and hair. Kids and teens benefit from products designed with milder, safer, and often natural ingredients.
• Hormonal changes in teens - Puberty triggers an increase in oil production, sweat, and body odor. Teens need products like anti-acne cleansers, deodorants, and hair care items specifically designed to manage these changes without being overly aggressive.
• Targeted benefits for hair and scalp - Kids often have finer hair and more sensitive scalps, necessitating gentle shampoos and conditioners. Teens may start experimenting with hairstyles and require products that strengthen and protect their hair from damage.

Introducing personal care products for kids & teens helps establish healthy hygiene and skincare routines and these will be carried forward in later years too.
