Curious about how a trip to Target sparked a movement in clean skincare? Join us as Kimberly Grustas, the innovative mind behind Good For You Girls, recounts her inspiring journey from creative director to a champion for young girls' skincare. Kimberly's quest began when personal challenges with her daughters' health revealed the harsh realities of chemical-laden products targeting tweens. Discover how her mission to eliminate these estrogenic chemicals is making an impact in the natural products industry, providing safe alternatives during a critical time in girls' development.

We tackle the often tricky conversations around puberty, emphasizing the necessity of approaching these talks with empathy and positivity. It's about recognizing the signs—both physical and emotional—and helping children understand these natural changes. By starting these discussions early, parents can set the stage for a healthy transition into adolescence, ensuring kids feel informed and confident about their bodies. We also share practical tips on maintaining good hygiene and establishing healthy habits that are crucial during this life stage.

Exploring the emotional landscape of parenting teenagers, we highlight the importance of creating a safe space for growth at home. We offer insights into introducing skincare routines that foster responsibility and maturity before moving on to makeup. By focusing on natural and gentle products, the benefits of a solid skincare foundation are evident, even reducing the perceived need for makeup. To top it all, we celebrate the bonding opportunities that arise from shared skincare routines between mothers and daughters, reinforcing relationships through mutual self-care.
