Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This sea buckthorn fruit pulp supplement is primarily composed of fruit pulp and water, with sodium benzoate as a preservative. The main concern is the presence of sodium benzoate (INS 211), which is a common food preservative. While generally recognized as safe, some individuals may experience sensitivity, and it can form benzene in the presence of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) under certain conditions, though this product does not list ascorbic acid. The high percentage of sea buckthorn fruit pulp is a positive for its nutritional content. It is generally suitable for healthy adults, but those with sensitivities to preservatives should exercise caution.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
