California Bill: Fifth-Graders Help Investigate Age Restrictions for Anti-Aging Skincare

A new California bill proposes to stop the sale of certain anti-aging skincare products to children. The legislation comes amid growing concern from doctors and parents about the "Sephora kids" trend. Skincare brands are making billions of dollars yearly by selling products to "tweens," or children under 12. Dermatologists warn that potent ingredients in some adult anti-aging products can damage young, developing skin. To investigate the issue, CBS News California partnered with a class of fifth-grade students. They examined the risks of the trend and the proposed political solution. The bill, introduced by a California state senator, would require buyers to show identification for certain products. The goal is to prevent minors from purchasing items that could harm their skin. The full investigation includes reports on how the industry markets to children and the details of the proposed law.
