Oh my dear, I know! lol- My daughter and I make lip balms & perfume - I realize that. I just wish they’d stretch a little when making these kits for girls.
My kid goes to science classes (for 8-13 yo’s) where they study and play with weather science, plants, rockets, light, sound, robots, and yes, make-up chemistry, but that was just once. Mostly they are challenging them and trying to keep them interested. I know its their way to draw girls in, but… there’s more to life than beauty.
If it was for boys it’d be blowing stuff up, or physics or circuits or something- but what do girls get? Beauty cream.
Just my two-cents. As a mom (who’s enrolling in chemistry this year). Of a wanna-be astronomer (who’s favorite class is science and she is starting to roll her eyes at these).
