Tween Hygiene Products

Do your tween boys smell like bags of gym socks? If you have been hunting for the best hygiene products, look no further than the award-winning products from Prep U.

Prep U, launched in Austin, Texas in December 2017, has created a line of all-natural personal care products designed specifically for active boys ages 8-17.

We are honored to have won the 2020 Eco-Excellence Award for Best Hair Care for Him, the 2018 Eco-Excellence Award for Best Skincare for Kids, and were finalists in 2019 in the Best Skincare for Him category. The Eco-Excellence Awards™ recognize excellence in social and environmental sustainability for products, services, companies and websites.

Ready to take on the smells of boyhood, our mission is to empower boys with an age appropriate brand that will guide them through the transitional years between toddler and teen, while introducing personal care into their daily lives.

Ingredients to Look For

At Prep U, we carefully select ingredients that are found in nature, sensitive on skin, tough on sweat and smells, and independently verified to be safe and effective. We are always on the hunt for the freshest ingredients to create our products.

Our products are packed with only wholesome ingredients you can pronounce. Some of them are shea butter, jojoba oil, neem tree oil, candelilla wax, arrowroot powder, beeswax and essential oils. They are good for sensitive and regular skin, are aluminum and paraben-free, and are effective enough to keep odor at bay while making your tween son smell fresh. Look for:

• Shea butter: Loaded with Vitamin A, Vitamin E, phytonutrients, neutral fats, and fatty acids, shea butter, which comes from the nut of the shea tree in Africa, is great for skin. It won’t clog pores and helps eliminate the bacteria that can build up under the arms and cause odor.
• Arrowroot powder: Arrowroot powder is a starchy substance that is extracted from the root of a tropical plant. It contains many beneficial minerals and vitamins for the skin, such as zinc, iron, and Vitamin B6.
• Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that is extracted from the nut of an indigenous North American shrub. It lubricates and waterproofs the skin without leaving behind an oily residue.
• Essential oils: While most adult deodorants contain synthetic fragrances to keep them smelling nice throughout the day, good deodorants for tweens contain essential oils instead. These oils are extracted from plants, are 100% natural, and some of them have antibacterial properties that will fight odor before it spreads.
