6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For infants 6–12 months (baby, infant), Watercress Flower Extract appears to be low risk based on the ingredient notes, but there is very little research specifically in babies. Because of that limited information, treat it as a mild botanical that should be used carefully.
If you choose to use a product containing this extract on your 6–12 month old baby, use it only on small areas of intact skin, once at a time. Do a small patch test on the baby's thigh or forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before applying more widely. Avoid use on rashes, eczema, or broken skin. If any irritation appears, stop use and rinse the area with water.
The ingredient listing notes a restriction in verified product programs unless manufacturers provide extra safety data — this means the ingredient is treated with caution due to limited supporting information. Watch for signs of allergy or irritation (redness, swelling, tiny bumps, increased fussiness at the site). Do not apply near the eyes, mouth, or on broken skin. If your baby has a history of plant allergies or sensitive skin, avoid it or check with your pediatrician first.
