Our Process
Different” by Nature, “Effective” by Choice
Our Process
Pickier than the teenagers
While creating every single product, we had a “Banished List” longer than Santa’s Christmas list because we wanted to ensure that you get ingredients that surpass the industry standard for safety. This is why every ingredient that we put in has been Sieved For Safety so you don’t have to worry about what you are putting on your kid’s skin.
Caring like the eldest kid
Just like the eldest sibling is looking out for their younger ones, every single Y Play Z product contains ingredients that are as effective as they are gentle and look after the developing skin. From IFRA Certified fragrances to ultra-mild concentrations - we’ve made sure that all formulations are age-appropriate and young skin-safe.
Tested more than your sibling test your patience
Our products face the ultimate test only after meeting our stringent criteria: parents & kids. But we don't stop there! They are Tested by us, our kids, and their friends for real & honest (almost brutal) feedback before they ever see the daylight! And if that wasn’t enough, we ensured that everything was manufactured at GMP-approved facilities to meet the highest standard of safety.
