THE STEP MOST KIDS SKIP. THE ONE THAT MATTERS MOST.
Most pre-teens cleanse and consider their routine done. But cleansing without moisturising disrupts the skin barrier, the layer that keeps moisture in and irritants out, and skin that is consistently under-moisturised becomes more prone to congestion, sensitivity, and breakouts over time.
The problem is that most moisturisers on the market are not made for this age group. Adult moisturisers contain brightening agents, anti-ageing actives, and heavy occlusives that have no place on a 9-year-old's face. Most products labelled for children are diluted adult formulas with no genuine formulation consideration for pre-teen skin biology.
Petite Skin Co. Face Moisturiser was developed from the ground up for skin aged 7 to 14. Fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and lightweight enough that kids will actually use it twice a day without complaining about the feel. Because the moisturiser only works if it gets worn.
Free from parabens, artificial fragrance, and mineral oil. Australian made.
- Made for young, delicate skin
- Vegan-friendly formula
- Made for ages 7–14

The mum behind the brand
Jacqui Millbank
In 2018, Jacqui Millbank, a mum of two on the Sunshine Coast, noticed something no one was talking about.
We teach kids to brush their teeth and wash their bodies, but no one was teaching them to care for the skin on their face.
Her eldest daughter was already showing early skin changes from age 7. She went looking for a solution: natural, gentle, effective, and something a child would actually want to use. Nothing existed.
Partnering with Australia's leading natural skincare chemists, Petite Skin Co. created a range formulated exclusively for children aged 7 to 14, an age group that had never had skincare designed specifically for them. Every product is made and packaged in Australia, free from parabens, sulphates, artificial fragrances and pesticides.
Today, we're trusted by over 42,000 families and stocked in more than 135 retailers in Australia, New Zealand and Noumea.

Of course! We have two collections. This is confetti and the cleanser smells like ice-cream. Our Crosses Collection cleanser smells like lemonade icy-poles. https://www.petiteskinco.com/products/my-first-skincare-routine-crosses
It's what the cleanser goes onto before it touches their face, one pump on the buffer, then circular motions over the T-zone and any congested spots for 60 seconds. You can use hands instead if she loses it or forgets it on a sleepover, but the buffer's doing more of the actual cleansing work than fingers alone would.
