I’m helping my pre-teen nieces research skincare brands. They like Bubble, which mostly has non-comedogenic ingredients, meaning they’re gentle on the skin. Some sensitive skin irritants are mentioned in a video, but they seem happy with their purchases.
You can see their excitement here:
Bubble Introduction
Your skin deserves better than old-school skincare. It deserves healthier ingredients, perfected formulas, and face-changing results.

As mentioned before, I have really sensitive skin, so what is in the skin care products really matter to me. I like to get my nieces to do research on their own products before I take them shopping (I went to Walmart 10 times, and with the girls 5 times before Bubble was actually in stock!)
As I mentioned earlier, my skin is particularly sensitive, and the ingredients in skincare products hold immense importance for me. Understanding what goes into the products I use is crucial to prevent any adverse reactions or irritations. To instill good skincare habits in the younger generation, I’ve made it a fun and educational activity with my nieces. Before our shopping trips, I involve them in researching their own skincare products.
Our quest for suitable products took us on numerous visits to Walmart, with me personally going ten times and accompanying the girls on five separate occasions. This was mainly to track down a brand called ‘Bubble’ that had piqued our interest. It was an exciting adventure filled with discussions about what ingredients are gentle on sensitive skin, how to read product labels, and the importance of checking for hypoallergenic and fragrance-free options.
Teaching my nieces to research and make informed choices about their skincare is not only a valuable life skill but also a way to ensure their skin stays healthy and radiant. Plus, it has become a delightful bonding experience for us, making our shopping trips all the more special.
Let’s Have a Look at the Ingredients
We’ll just quickly have a look at the highlights of each of the products we bought, and potential irritants.
Bounce Back Refreshing Toner
Glycerin: Superstar moisturizer
Niacinimide: Superstart antioxidant, balances oils, skin brightening, moisturizer, fights acne
Green Tea: Antioxidant, soothing
Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool: Not so good perfuming (may cause irritations on sensitive skin)
Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer
Glycerin: Superstar Moisturizer
Shea Butter: Emollient
Glucose: Moisturizer
Cetyl Alcohol: It’s occlusive, so it’s great for protecting skin barrier from drying out. BUT for some people, it can clog pores. Comedogenic factor: 2
Avocado Oil: Could be a good antioxidant or clog pores for some people. Comedogenic factor 0-3
Evening Primose Oil: people with sensitive skin may find it irritating. Comedogenic factor 2-3
Overall, this brand has some pretty good products. I’ve ordered the cleanser, exfoliant, and level up (which I find have better ingredients for me AND I went online and got some stuff for my nieces, secretly, as they weren’t in stock at Walmart. Shhh… Will update once we test those out too ❤️
What is Comedogenic Factor?
Comedogenic factor, often referred to as the comedogenic rating, is a measure of how likely a skincare or cosmetic product is to clog pores and potentially cause acne or other skin issues.
The rating typically ranges from 0 to 5, with 0 being non-comedogenic (least likely to clog pores) and 5 being highly comedogenic (most likely to clog pores). People with acne-prone or sensitive skin often look for products with lower comedogenic ratings to reduce the risk of breakouts.
It’s important to note that the comedogenic rating can vary from person to person, as individuals’ skin types and sensitivities differ. What might be non-comedogenic for one person could potentially cause issues for another. Therefore, it’s advisable to test products on a small area of your skin to see how your skin reacts before using them more widely.
