Sovereign Silver Confirms Full Compliance with Health Canada’s Landmark Carbomer Safety Update
Sovereign Silver’s Benzene-Free Formulations Remain Unaffected and Fully Certified
By committing to highest-grade, benzene-free ingredients that exceed U.S. and Canadian standards — long before it became necessary — Sovereign Naturals set the baseline others are now working to meet.”
SARASOTA, FL, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sovereign Naturals, maker of the Sovereign Silver brand of natural health products, today announced that its complete line of topical gel products remains fully compliant and unaffected by Health Canada’s sweeping 2026 regulatory update to the Natural Health Products Ingredients Database (NHPID). The update mandates the removal of several high-risk carbomer grades from the Canadian market due to benzene concerns, creating significant disruption across the natural health products industry. — Dan Pearce, CEO, Sovereign Naturals
Health Canada has officially removed a broad range of carbomer designations — including Carbomer 934, 934P, 940, 941, 1342, Carbomer Homopolymer Types B and C, Carbomer Copolymer Type B, and a number of specific variants — from its list of permitted NHP ingredients. Products relying on these ingredients face mandatory recalls or reformulation ahead of the August 1, 2026 enforcement deadline.

Why Sovereign Silver Products Are Safe
The root cause of the carbomer ban is the historical use of benzene as a polymerization solvent in manufacturing many conventional carbomer grades. Health Canada now mandates that any remaining compliant carbomer must not exceed a benzene concentration of 0.0002%.
Sovereign Naturals has long used an exclusively food-grade polymer as the thickening agent in Sovereign Silver gel formulations — a grade widely used in the food industry for condiments and in the pharmaceutical industry for infant syrups. This food-grade polymer is manufactured using safe solvents, ensuring it meets or exceeds the new regulatory benzene limits. The specific grade aligns fully with major global pharmacopeial standards including USP/NF, Ph. Eur., IP, ChP, and JPE.
