🔸Are lipstick toys cosmetic products?

🔸Makeup products for children?
The efficacy of cosmetics for babies aged 0 ~ 3 years are limited to cleansing, moisturizing, sunscreen, etc., and makeup products are NOT included in the category. Therefore, if a makeup product claims it’s suitable for babies under 3 years on the label, it’s illegal.
Children under 12 years old, especially infants, have weaker skin barrier and are more vulnerable to skin irritations caused by foreign substances. Products such as "lipstick toys" produced according to general toy product standards may contain substances that are not suitable for use as cosmetic raw materials, which may irritate children's skin if used by children. In addition, such "makeup toys" may have the problem of excessive heavy metals, such as lead. Excessive lead can affect children's intellectual development after being absorbed.
