5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (kids, older children, tweens and teens), watercress extract is generally very low risk when used on the skin. The ingredient data shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or development.
Use products that list this ingredient as intended (creams, lotions or similar) the way the product label says. Before using on your child’s face or large areas, do a small patch test: put a little on the inner forearm and watch for 24–48 hours. If there is no redness, swelling, or itching, it’s likely safe to continue. Keep all skincare out of reach of younger children.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction — redness, itching, swelling, rash, or breathing trouble — and stop use right away if those appear. Avoid putting this ingredient on broken or badly irritated skin. These cautions come from the ingredient safety data provided, which notes allergy and other concerns at a low level; while low, parents should still watch for reactions.
