FAQs

  • Chasing Summer is skincare made for teens and tweens that feels as carefree as your favorite summer days.  We're formulated simple, gentle, with minimal ingredients that you can understand and trust.  We wanted a brand that supported both parents and teens with products you can both feel good about. 

  • Yes! Tween and teen safe skincare is why I created the brand.  Tweens and teens don't need overcomplicated routines or adult products.  They need gentle basics that support their skin barrier and their confidence. 

  • I created Chasing Summer specifically for tweens and teens (usually 8-18), 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, our products are formulated to feel soothing and protective.  We always recommend that you do a patch test first with any new products.  Your forearm or neck work well as they're sensitive skin areas.  If you find any sensitivity, discontinue use and contact us for a refund.

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

  • Yes.  We formulate with thoughtful and gentle ingredients.  Mom's high standards are important!  You won't find any ingredients in our products that we wouldn't give our own teens! 

    Clean can mean a lot of things, so we keep it simple and transparent. 

  • Our products contain a light scent because we want skincare to feel good and be a full sensory moment.  Our fragrance is high quality and doesn't contain phthalates, sulfates, formaldehydes, or parabens.  If you're concerned about fragrance irritation, we recommend a patch test first.  If irritation occurs, contact us for a refund.   

  • 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.

  • Yes.  Gentle hydration supports a healthy skin barrier.  Even oily skin needs hydration.  Moisturizer helps your skin stay balanced.  When skin gets too dry, it can actually produce more oil.  

    We recommend starting with one product at a time. Use it for a few days before adding anything new.  Patch tests are great if you're sensitive.  Skincare should be fun!  Keep it simple and remember that your glow starts from within.
