Looking for allergy-free Halloween make-up, to turn your little princess into a goblin? Look no further with Kiss Freely!
Celebrating an allergy-free Halloween has never been easier than it is now. Initiatives like the Teal Pumpkin Project has brought worldwide awareness to food allergies and companies such as Enjoy Life Foods, Free2B & Wholesome Surf Sweets has put scary good candy in our allergy-friendly treat bags. But safety goes beyond candy & pumpkins…. it can start with the Halloween make-up your child is wearing as part of their costume.
When I became an allergy-mom (11 years ago), I quickly learned that food allergies went beyond what my son ate. In fact, everything that touches my child can result in an allergic reaction. Lotion, hair care, the food our puppies were eating, latex gloves & balloons, fabric of clothing and even the Halloween masks & face paint can trigger an allergic reaction or cause symptoms of asthma. Talk about scary!
Chemicals “Oh My”
Back in 2009, A Campaign for Safe Cosmetics study revealed that ALL the face paints they tested had “dangerous heavy metals and toxic substances that are banned or restricted in other countries. Disturbingly, parents have no way of knowing what’s really in these products just by reading the labels”. They are loaded with chemicals, preservatives & many times, formaldehyde which can all cause rash, swelling & more, depending on the allergy or sensitivity. I don’t know about you, but that’s NOT what I want to put all over my child’s face, even for 1 night.
Kiss Freely
Thankfully, Kiss Freely created a Natural, Allergen & Gluten-free Face Paint for our little ghouls, gals, guys & ghosts AND I want to put it in your hands this Halloween! (Keep reading for Giveaway⬇︎).

Safety Tips
In addition to choosing allergy-free Halloween makeup, here are a few more ideas to keep this Halloween safe.
- No mask about it- for kids with asthma, choose a costume that doesn’t require a mask.
- Pack & carry- Be prepared for emergencies! Don’t forget to carry a charged cell phone, epi & asthma meds as well as a few safe treats to nibble on along the way.
- Trick-or-skip- Parents may want to consider alternatives such as a movie night, bowling night or host their own safe Halloween party.
- The big swap-Allow kids to trick-or-treat with friends but swap out their candy for a big ‘ol bag of their favorite candies OR trade it in for $money$! What kid can say “no” to that?
- Teach your trickster-Instruct children with allergies which treats are safe for them to eat OR teach them to leave ALL the candy in the bag until you are able to go through it with them.
- Toys are cool– Consider leading the way in your neighborhood by offering non-food treats for the kiddos and you’ll be the favorite house on the block.

I love that Kiss Freely has Halloween makeup. You are quite the face-painting-artist 😉
Thanks Crystal! My kids were troopers 🙂
Ooh what great timing. I was just looking for vegan facepaint yesterday!
Yay! It is perfect then. It doesn’t show the little “V” but when you look at the FAQ online, they are indeed vegan.
Love kiss freely products! Use them all the time
Awesome! What is your favorite product to use from them?
What a great post for our kids. I love the colors available in this face paint.
I’m always with my kids and make sure to double check everything
Yes to double-checking everything.
We do trick or treating at our church and at the mall. While the mall may not sound safe, the candy you receive there is from businesses, not individuals, so the risk of tampering is minimized.
Cool! Thanks for sharing that. I always forget about the mall for treating but its even another great option if its too cold outside.
Great tips and I need to check out that face paint! My youngest has very sensitive skin and always breaks out from face paint, sun screen, and things. Thanks for sharing!
That’s what my son is like also and we’ve been able to use it without any reaction. Hopefully it is a great new find for you all
What cute face paints you did on your kids’ faces. Love it!
Thanks Megan! It was fun doing it too.
this is SO fun! I have so many friends with kiddoes I will share this with…
Awesome Kristina! Thank you.
I love that this products don’t have chemicals and are so allergy friendly! Plus great tips on trick or treating alternatives!!
Thanks Emily. We were thrilled to find Kiss Freely had a “safe” Halloween face kit.
We only trick or treat to people we know
Love that idea.
Love that it’s free from harmful chemicals! Win win!
It is! Hopefully you entered to win it too!
What a great giveaway! We love Kiss Freely!
I didn’t know that Kiss Freely had come up with a safe Halloween paint option. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. The more options, the better…especially allergy-friendly ones.
We actually don’t go trick or treating.
Do you do anything in place of trick-or-treating?
You are quite the artist! I love Kiss Freely products, and I’m sure this one will be no different. We will be taking our daughter to my husbands work and to a few friends houses.
That’s a fun idea. Halloween with friends is what my kids enjoy too.
How awesome! I am so glad Kiss Freely is making the allergy friendly face paints. This will so so awesome for the kid’s Halloween (and the adults, too!)
Isn’t it great! I love that they created this option…..it’s the only one out there that I know of.
We trick or treat only with neighbors we are familiar with
That’s always more safe.
We participate in the teal pumpkin project and always offer non-food treats for those kiddos with allergies!
Us too! Love the Teal Pumpkin Project.
I always go with my son to make sure he stays safe and we wear flashing lights on our wrists and on our shirts.
Flashing lights would be fun!
When we are out trick or treating, we also take flashlights, and we have the kids wear lots of things that glow in the dark or light up. We also always check over the candy first before the kids are allowed to eat any, and we do not normally do any sort of masks as that can take away your vision.
Awesome ideas. Thanks for sharing.
We just trick or treat in our neighborhood.
we are keeping halloween safe by doing a trick or treat with local buisiness’ rather than strangers houses.
These are incredible! Fantastic artwork and great article, Nicole. I have been getting most of my allergy-free cosmetics and accessories from Allergy Free Me (allergyfreeme.net). Highly recommend it!
Great to know Angela! I’ll check that out also.
