Garnier SPF Cream Suspected of Forming Carcinogens
Sodium benzoate was found in Garnier's SPF cream. When combined with ascorbic or citric acid, it can form benzene — a dangerous carcinogen linked to tumor development.
Sodium benzoate has been detected in Garnier's sunscreen formula. This substance, when interacting with ascorbic or citric acid — also present in the product's composition — can form benzene. Benzene is classified as a carcinogen and poses a serious health risk.
Sodium benzoate is widely used in both the cosmetic and food industries as a preservative. However, under certain conditions, its combination with specific acids may lead to benzene formation. Benzene is categorized as a first-class hazardous substance capable of provoking the development of malignant tumors and suppressing the immune system.
The information about possible benzene formation in Garnier's SPF cream has raised concerns among consumers and product safety specialists. Discussions around this issue highlight the need to reconsider the composition of cosmetics containing sodium benzoate in combination with acids.
Quality control authorities and relevant organizations may initiate additional inspections of cosmetic products with similar components. If benzene formation is confirmed during storage or use, restrictions or product recalls may follow.
Cosmetic manufacturers, including Garnier, are expected to provide clarifications and information regarding compliance with safety standards. The discovery of potentially dangerous compounds in everyday products once again emphasizes the importance of rigorous consumer goods quality control.
