I try my hardest to only use the purest products (no parabens, alcohols, overall harsh ingredients etc.) Thus, once I learned how the two ingredients (in the same formulation) could cause Benzene, I was FLOORED and I instantly put it on my list of bad ingredients (based on individualized situation), mainly because I use A LOT of Vitamin C (in the form of ascorbic acid) products daily.

I’m a skincare enthusiast and I’ve been obsessed with ingredients for a while. I was so interested to read this article as I have been studying Sodium Benzoate and how it interacts with Ascorbic Acid for some time now. What are your thoughts? Cease and desist? Propylene Glycol, Aqua (Water, Eau), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hexylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, PEG-25 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Soluble Collagen, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Hydroxyacetophenone, Triethanolamine, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Silver Citrate, Zeolite, Sodium Benzoate The product I guess I’m most concerned about is the Vitamin C serum? Here are the ingredients:

Although my skin has been looking *great* lately, I DEFINITELY do not want to continue usage if they’re cancer causing. Typically I use the Witch Hazel Toner, Cellufirm Drops and Vitamin C Serum – and they all have Sodium Benzoate.

Lately I’ve been using two Mario Badescu products and I’m a bit nervous they’re unsafe. Ever since the reports of Benzene have been in suncreen, I’ve been on the look out for Sodium Benzoate everywhere!
