Technical Information:
studies on internal food product usage have shown that Sodium Benzoate when combined with Vitamin C, can form small levels of Benzene, a known carcinogenic. While these studies were not done on its use as a preservative for personal care products, and Sodium Benzoate is considered safe for use by Health Canada and the FDA, if you are at all concerned we recommend not using this preservative in conjunction with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
