    I have the exact same question. I feel like the answers above maybe don’t quite answer what you posted….did you ever figure it out? My emulsifier is made of three different ingredients at varying percentages - do I have to do calculations and list the three different INCIs at the various percentage points, or list them in descending order at the say, 6% line, if I’m using the emulsifier at 6%?

    Haha ok. I actually did search, but didn’t see anything about sodium benzoate plus citric acid PLUS L-ascorbic.

    Would it be of concern if a product preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, with citric acid as a pH adjuster, is simply layered on the face over a product containing L-ascorbic acid? Or is the concern of benzene formation only if they are all in the same product and have time to sit there together? Thanks!
