What is YAWN?

YAWN is a collection of safe, non-toxic makeup and skin care for kids ages 3 and up. It was created by a team of beauty industry veterans who were #notimpressed by the makeup currently being made for and marketed to kids. We knew we could do better and our kids deserve better (*cough* safe, age-appropriate products *cough*), so we made YAWN!

Who is YAWN for?

Almost everyone! YAWN is for ages 3+ (and the adults who love ‘em). It was important to us that we make products for kids and their skin. (PSA: Your kid doesn’t need a longwear eyeliner or exfoliating serum!) Our makeup and skin care products are not suitable for children under 3 years of age.

Is YAWN suitable for all skin types?

We worked hard to make sure our formulas are safe and gentle for all skin types, but we always recommend testing products before use. (Tip: your forearm is the best place to patch test!) If you have specific skin concerns, consult your doctor. Always discontinue use if irritation occurs. Never apply products to damaged, sunburned or inflamed skin.

What do you mean by safe, non-toxic ingredients?

At YAWN, safe and non-toxic means we formulate without over 2,500 potentially harmful ingredients. This list includes ingredients with safety and/or sustainability concerns and includes sulfates, parabens, talc, mineral oil, silicones, and phthalates. (We follow the gold standard in “clean beauty” pioneered by our friends at Credo!) We formulate without All of our products are also gluten free. You can find the full ingredient list for every product listed on each product page. If you have specific questions, get in touch at hi@yawn.world

Do you use synthetic dyes in your products?

Yes. Any synthetic colors we use are listed on each ingredient page. We are mindful about how much of these dyes we use in our products, working to make sure they are processed with best safety ratings at lower percentages. We are excited about the advances being made with natural dyes and pigments and will do our best to utilize these ingredients whenever it makes sense for our formulas.

Are your products cruelty free?

Duh! All YAWN products are vegan and cruelty free (that means we never test on animals).

Do your products contain coconut or coconut-derived ingredients?

A few of our products contain coconut oil. You can view the full ingredient list on each product page.

Are your products made in a nut-free facility?

YAWN products are NOT manufactured in a nut-free facility.

Do you use fragrance in your products?

Yes. We use both safe synthetic fragrances along with some essential oils. If you are sensitive to essential oils, make sure to read the product ingredient lists and patch test before using.

Where are YAWN products made?

Our makeup and skin care products are made in the USA using globally sourced ingredients.

Can I recycle my YAWN products when I’m done?

We’re doing our best to make YAWN products using post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials and whenever possible, make them easily curbside recyclable. It’s a work in progress, but here’s a breakdown of our product materials and recyclability to date: 

  • Lip Balm: Made with 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. Sadly, this tube cannot be recycled.
  • Compact: Made using polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is a type of clear, strong, lightweight and 100% recyclable plastic. When finished, remove any remaining product and toss it in your recycling bin!
  • Lip Gloss: The tube is made using PET. When finished, remove the wand (toss it in the trash) and recycle the tube!
  • Face Multi-Stick: Made with 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. When finished, remove any remaining product and toss it in your recycling bin!
  • Body Balm: Cannot be recycled.
