Can older babies use Chlorophyll?
ℹ️General Overview
Chlorophyll used on the skin has very low safety concerns in public safety reviews. For babies 6–12 months old (infants and older babies), it is likely low risk when it appears at low levels in a product made for babies. But baby skin is still delicate, so we recommend being cautious.
✅What to Do
If you see chlorophyll in a product for your 6–12 month old: use only products labeled for babies, avoid applying concentrated liquid chlorophyll straight onto the skin, do a small patch test (put a tiny amount behind the baby's ear or on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours), keep the product away from the baby's eyes and mouth, and stop use if you notice redness, rash, swelling, or any change in behavior. If the baby has broken skin or eczema, don't use it on that area and check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation or any allergic reaction — this is the main thing to look for even though overall hazard assessments list low concerns. These safety findings come from public agency reviews (for example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Environment Canada) that note safe limited use in food and do not expect toxicity. Because there is limited testing of topical use specifically in infants, avoid concentrated or non‑baby formulations and seek medical advice if you are unsure or if the infant shows any reaction.
