Ingredients to watch
SODIUM BENZOATE
moderateSodium benzoate is a chemical preservative. When combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), it can form benzene — a known carcinogen. It is also linked to hyperactivity in children, leading the UK to recommend removing it from children's foods.
PARFUM
moderate"Parfum" is the EU/INCI designation for fragrance — the same concerns apply as with "Fragrance." It covers hundreds of possible chemicals that don't need to be individually listed.
