Answer 1

Cosmetics and household chemicals aimed for adults are irritating when used in a wrong way – consumed or rubbed into eyes or mucous membranes. That is to discourage wrong usage because there’s no one to supervise adult users.

While adults usually look after children, and stuff aimed for kids can have pleasant taste or smell or be less irritating because there are parents there to control the use of it, and it’s less uncomfortable for the child.
