For adults, applying chlorophyll on the skin is generally safe. Official assessments by bodies such as the US FDA and Environment Canada found low concern for cancer, allergic problems, or effects on reproduction.
If you want to use a product with chlorophyll, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or itching. Follow the product label directions, avoid using on broken or irritated skin, and stop use if you notice irritation. If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a history of strong skin allergies, check with your healthcare provider before using.
Stop use and see a doctor if you get persistent redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Avoid applying to cuts or open wounds. These precautions are based on safety findings from the US Food and Drug Administration and Environment Canada noting low overall risk but acknowledging possible individual skin sensitivity.
