I created Chasing Summer specifically for tweens and teens (usually 10-18), however we've found that our slightly older customers love it too!  At our core, we're soft, simple skincare that hydrates and protects without harsh actives.  The age that you feel comfortable starting on that skincare journey with your child is personal and up to you! 

Yes—It’s exactly what we set out to make. Tweens and teens don’t need overcomplicated routines or adult products; they need gentle skincare made with quality ingredients that support a developing skin barrier. Our formulas are designed to feel soothing and protective, with no harsh actives.

As with any new product, we recommend a quick patch test first—your forearm or neck works well. If you notice any sensitivity, stop use and reach out to us for a refund.

Yes, Chasing Summer is cruelty-free and vegan.  We love animals too! 

For us, clean means no parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no formaldehydes—and no harsh adult actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids(BHAs/AHAs). Those are powerful ingredients that can damage a developing skin barrier, so we leave them out and use superfruit oils instead—gentler, and naturally nourishing.

“Clean” can mean different things to different brands, so we keep our standards visible and specific. Nothing goes in that I wouldn’t put on my own teen.

Our products contain a light fragrance for a fresh, summery feel. Our fragrance is high quality and doesn't contain phthalates, sulfates, formaldehydes, or parabens.  If your skin is highly fragrance-sensitive, we always suggest a quick patch test first— As with any product, give it a day before going all in.

Less is more! Young, sensitive skin doesn't need more products.  A great starter routine consists of a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning.  Too many steps and too many products can lead to irritation and harm the skin barrier. 

AM: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen.

PM: cleanser and moisturizer.

Our formula is lightweight and designed not to clog pores. Mango, kiwi, chia, and acai seed oils are very low on the comedogenic scale. Our Hydro Whip texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly and is free of heavy occlusives that commonly trigger breakouts. If you have skin questions or concerns it’s always best to consult a dermatologist to build a routine.
