5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children age 5 and up (school-age kids), watercress flower extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. It is a plant ingredient used for gentle skin benefits and is rated low for major health concerns in the safety database.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on a child: choose a product from a reputable brand, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours, use only as directed, avoid applying to cuts or irritated skin, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or increased itchiness.
The ingredient database flags a 'restricted' status for verified products, meaning manufacturers should have safety documentation to include it — prefer products that clearly list ingredients and come from trustworthy brands. Also watch for allergic reactions: if your child is allergic to plants in the same family (for example some vegetables like celery or carrot), skip it. If any skin reaction occurs, stop use and see your child’s healthcare provider if it’s severe.
