6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) extract is likely low risk when used on the skin. There’s little evidence it causes harm, but direct testing in babies is limited, so we recommend being careful.
If you want to use a product with this extract on your 6–12 month old: choose products made for babies, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use, use a small amount the first few times, avoid putting it on broken, red, or irritated skin, and keep it away from the baby’s eyes and mouth. If you see any redness, swelling, blistering, or other reaction, stop use and wash the area, and talk to your pediatrician.
Avoid use on cuts, rashes, or inflamed skin and stop immediately if the baby develops redness, swelling, itching, or a rash. Advice above is based on public cosmetic ingredient safety listings and the limited infant-specific safety data those sources summarize.
