0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants under 6 months, this watercress (Nasturtium officinale) extract is likely low risk in general listings, but there is very little specific information for babies this young. Because baby skin is delicate, we recommend extra caution.
Avoid using skin products that list this extract on infants under 6 months unless your baby’s pediatrician says it’s OK. If a healthcare provider approves use for an older baby, first try a tiny amount on a small patch of skin (for example, the forearm) and wait 48 hours to watch for any reaction. Never apply to broken, red, or inflamed skin and keep products away from the eyes, mouth, and diaper area.
Public safety listings note low concerns for cancer, allergy, and developmental effects but also show limited data for very young infants — that limited data is the reason for caution. Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or any trouble breathing. If the product was swallowed or the baby has a strong reaction, seek emergency care. When in doubt, consult your baby’s healthcare provider before use.
