ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), watercress (nasturtium) extract looks low risk when used on the skin. The ingredient safety summary shows only small concerns, and there is no strong evidence it harms babies when used on intact skin.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with this extract on a 6–12 month old baby: 1) try a small patch test first on your own skin; 2) if that’s fine, apply a very small amount to a small area of the baby’s skin once and wait 24 hours; 3) do not use it on broken, red, or irritated skin; 4) avoid the baby’s face, eyes and mouth; 5) stop use and wash the area if you see any rash, swelling, or increased redness and talk to your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
The ingredient safety data notes only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental effects. Because infant-specific studies are limited, be cautious: watch for skin sensitivity or allergic reactions. If your baby has a history of sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies, check with your pediatrician before use. If a reaction occurs, discontinue and seek medical advice.
