0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), this watercress flower extract appears to have low concerns in general testing, but specific safety data for very young babies is limited. Because infant skin is more sensitive, it’s safer to be cautious.
Avoid using products that list Watercress Flower Extract directly on newborns or babies under 6 months unless the product is specifically made and labeled for infants. If you must use a product that contains it, do a very small patch test on a tiny area of the baby’s body and wait 24–48 hours to watch for any redness, swelling, or irritation. Stop use and talk with your pediatrician if you see any reaction. Prefer products made for babies with minimal ingredient lists.
The ingredient information notes a use restriction in some product standards (this is why extra caution is advised). Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or unusual fussiness after application. Do not use on broken or very irritated skin, and do not apply near the eyes, mouth, or diaper area. If you are unsure, consult your pediatrician before using products that contain this ingredient on infants.
