As kids grow, their skin changes, and so do their routines. Our Kids 6+ collection is made for that in-between stage, when they’re not babies anymore but still need gentle, dependable care that keeps up with busy days and active bodies.
From school mornings to swim lessons to bedtime showers they’re learning to handle on their own, these are the everyday skincare essentials that help kids feel comfortable in their skin. Everything is designed to be easy to use, gentle on growing skin, and supportive of healthy habits, without making skincare feel like a chore.
This is kids skincare that meets them where they are now, with clean, thoughtful formulas parents can feel good about keeping in the bathroom.
Everyday care for growing skin
Between ages six and twelve, kids are moving more, sweating more, and spending more time outside. They’re also bathing more frequently, sometimes independently for the first time. All of that can affect how their skin feels day to day.
Some kids experience dryness or sensitivity. Others notice body odor for the first time. Many deal with irritation from things like chlorine, sunscreen buildup, or frequent handwashing. This collection focuses on everyday care that supports skin through those changes—without overdoing it.
Gentle cleansers help wash away dirt, sweat, and sunscreen. Lightweight lotions support daily moisture without feeling heavy. Deodorant made specifically for kids helps manage odor as routines evolve. And targeted products are there for skin that needs a little extra attention from time to time.
New to kids skincare?
If you’re figuring out what your child actually needs (and what they don’t), these resources can help take the guesswork out of daily care:
They’re designed to take the guesswork out of daily care for both kids and parents.
Made for active days (and long baths)
This collection works just as well for kids who practically live at the pool as it does for kids who come home dusty from the playground. Gentle washes help remove sunscreen, sweat, and chlorine. Moisturizers support skin that’s prone to dryness from frequent bathing. And targeted care options can help soothe areas that need extra moisture after busy days.
Many families start with a bundle to cover the basics, then add individual products as routines grow and needs change throughout the year.
FAQs
What skincare products do kids ages 6–12 really need?
Most kids do best with a gentle cleanser, a daily moisturizer, and sunscreen. As they get older or more active, deodorant and a simple face wash can be helpful additions. Keeping routines simple makes them easier to maintain.
What are common skin concerns for kids?
Dry skin, sensitivity, eczema-prone patches, irritation from sweat or chlorine, and body odor are all common skin concerns for kids in this age range. Some may also begin noticing mild congestion on their face as they approach puberty.
Which Tubby Todd products are best for swimmers or active kids?
Kids who swim or play sports often benefit from a gentle wash to remove chlorine or sweat, followed by a nourishing lotion. Products designed to support dry or sensitive skin can help maintain comfort with frequent bathing.
Can kids use All Over Ointment for dry patches or eczema-prone areas?
Yes. All Over Ointment can be used on kids for dry patches and eczema-prone skin, rashes or irritation, just as it is for babies. Many families use it on elbows, knees, hands, or other areas that need extra moisture.
What’s a good skincare routine for preteens?
A simple routine usually works best: cleanse once daily, moisturize after bathing, use sunscreen during the day, and add deodorant as needed. As skin changes, routines can adjust, but starting with gentle, consistent care helps build healthy habits early.
