Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Watercress Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: watercress extract is generally considered low risk, but there isn’t much information about using it on very young babies. Because infant skin is very sensitive, we recommend being careful.
✅What to Do
Prefer products with the fewest ingredients for babies under 6 months. If a product contains watercress extract and you must use it, test a very small patch on your baby’s chest or inner arm and watch for 24–48 hours. Avoid using new botanical products on a baby’s face, around the eyes, or on broken skin. If possible, ask your pediatrician before using new topical products on infants.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, hives, blisters, increased fussiness, or any breathing trouble after applying a product. This caution is because public cosmetic ingredient listings note low-level concerns for irritation and allergy, and there is limited data specifically for infants.
