[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is so bad about sodium benzoate?[/quote] It can cause allergic reactions and rashes in people who are allergic to it. It can react with other ingredients to form benzene, which is a carcinogen, and since it's also used as an insecticide and fungicide many aren't comfortable using it on the skin, but it is approved for cosmetic use. However, since many parents were using CB products for babies with sensitive skin or skin conditions, adding something known to cause reactions without notifying people was the big issue. The new labels do list it, but the old labels didn't, even though it had been added to the formula. It's in a LOT of products, but if you were specifically buying CB because it wasn't in there...adding it is a huge problem. [/quote]
