2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), watercress extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a mild, plant-based ingredient and is not known to cause serious harm in normal cosmetic use.
Use products that list this ingredient as part of a short, gentle formula. Do a small patch test on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours before widespread use. Avoid putting products near the eyes, inside the nose, or mouth. If the child has a history of plant or botanical allergies, talk to your pediatrician before regular use.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or a rash after first uses—stop use and rinse with water if any of these occur. The ingredient safety database flags allergy as a low-level concern, so allergic reactions are possible but uncommon. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin and keep products out of reach of children. If a severe reaction occurs, seek medical care right away.
