Where do you want to start?
Look up "skincare for a 9-year-old" and you'll find over a billion search results. This says two things:
1. Kids' skin is confusing
2. Most of it wasn't written for their age
HERE, THEY CAN JUST BE THEIR AGE.
What started out as lunch between a group of mum friends turned into a question none of them could answer: what do you actually put on a 7-year-old's changing skin? So Petite Skin Co. was born, working with Australia's leading natural skincare formulators, built specifically for ages 7 to 14.
Nothing borrowed from adult skincare, nothing rushed to market. Just the right products, and nothing in them that shouldn't be there.
NO PARABENS, PEGS, PHENOXYETHANOL, PHTHALATES, SLS, SLES, PETROLATUM, MINERAL OILS, SILICONES, MEA, DEA, TEA, EDTA, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES/COLOURS
SHOP BY CONCERN
FIRST SKINCARE
Not sure where to start? Our beginner kits have everything they need
DRY + SENSITIVE SKIN
For skin that feels tight or flaky while it's changing, hydration matched to where their skin actually is.
BReakouts
For the blackhead here and there, and skin that's started breaking out, made for a 7-to-14-year-old's face, not an adult's.
Oily Skin
Oily skin is one of the first signs of changing skin, and it needs ingredients formulated for that, not adult oil-control actives borrowed from mum's bathroom shelf.
our mission
Every formula we make is built for ages 7 to 14, worked out with Australia's leading natural formulators, made to nourish skin that's still figuring itself out. Not a smaller version of something else.
Made for exactly this stage, from the ground up. 41,000+ Australian families are using it, and we're just getting started.
Like brushing teeth. Two minutes, morning and night.
This all started at a Sunday lunch table. A few mums, and no one with a good answer for what to actually put on a 7-year-old's face, a blackhead here and there, skin that had started to change, and an adult aisle built for someone three times their age.
So now, I make my own, with Australia's leading natural fomrulators, for skin that's in the middle of changing.
The idea is small on purpose: the right products, matched to where their skin actually is, with nothing in them that shouldn't be there.
Two minutes, morning and night. One less thing to worry about.

FAQs
What is the difference between the two Face Cleansers?
The Confetti Collection smells like ice-cream and the Crosses Collection smells like Lemonade Ice Blocks - all natural of course!
Are there any synthetic preservatives in Petite Skin Co. products?
No synthetic preservatives, only ingredients I'd happily put on my own kids' faces.
Are there any nasty ingredients in Petite Skin Co. products?
No parabens, sulphates, artificial fragrances or pesticides. Put simply: nothing in them that shouldn't be there.
What is the shelf life of Petite Skin Co. products?
Our products have a printed expiry date on them from the manufacturer but in general, they have between 12 months and 2 years shelf life from the date of manufacture.
Once opened, they should be used within 4 to 6 months. This may be longer for some products. Please check printed expiry date on tube/bottle.
Where is Petite Skin Co. products made?
We are proudly Australian owned and all of our skincare, haircare and body care products are all made (and packaged) in Australia from the highest quality ingredients.
Is Petite Skin Co. skincare suitable for teenagers?
Yes!. Our products are made for ages 7 to 14 and carries through into the teens years.
Where a lot of adult skincare is built for grown skin and can be too much for a face that's still changing, ours is made for exactly this stage: oil that's just started, the odd blemish, skin that feels different week to week.
The idea stays the same the whole way through, the right products, two minutes morning and night. Nothing in them that shouldn't be there.
IS their SKIN SUDDENLY DIFFERENT? RED, BUMPY, OR JUST NOT LOOKING RIGHT?
That's usually just skin figuring out this stage of growing up, but if it seems out of the ordinary, or something feels off, it's always worth a quick chat with your GP or a dermatologist. They'll know if it needs proper attention or a prescription treatment. We're here for the everyday stuff, not instead of a doctor when it matters.
