What's different
- •Only Dabur Herb'l Clove Cavity Protection Toothpaste lists the flagged ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulphate.
- •Only Dabur Herb'l Neem Germ Protection Toothpaste lists the flagged ingredients Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Benzyl Alcohol.
Scores: 5.0 and 5.0 — within 0.5 of a point in the same band, so the gap is noise rather than a difference. Which difference matters most depends on who is eating or using it — that's your call.
A higher score means fewer or lighter concerns found under Decode Label's published rules. It is not a medical "safe", and a lower score does not establish that a product is unsafe.
Safety Score
Dabur Herb'l Clove Cavity Protection Toothpaste is a fluoride-free toothpaste featuring a similar array of botanical extracts, also containing Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Safety Score
Dabur Herb'l Neem Germ Protection Toothpaste is a fluoride-free option with a blend of traditional botanical extracts, but it includes Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Side by side
What each label says.
Fragrance allergens matter mainly if you have sensitive skin or a known fragrance allergy.
What these labels can't tell us
- How much of each ingredient is in the product — labels list order, not amounts.
- How the finished product performs, or how your skin or scalp will react — an ingredient list cannot show either.
- Anything a laboratory test would find — Decode Label reads labels; it does not test products.
Concern match
A separate lens from the overall Safety Score above — how well each product suits a specific concern, not an overall verdict. Each concern is scored 0–10: higher means less of that concern (5 ≈ neutral).

Declared ingredients linked to common oral care goals
Ingredient read — not a safety scoreRead from the two ingredient lists rather than measured by the Decode Label engine, so these sit apart from the scores above and do not change the verdict. 5 means neutral — no ingredient that helps or hinders. Traditional cosmetic use, not a medical claim — and the ingredient list alone does not establish that the finished product delivers the benefit.
Cavity Protection & Fluoride
EvenNeither product lists fluoride, which is a primary active for cavity protection, resulting in a neutral score for both.
Gum Health & Anti-Gingivitis
EvenBoth products contain extracts of Babul, Bakul, Lodhra, Jamun, and Akarkara, which are traditionally included for their potential benefits to gum health.
Bad Breath & Antibacterial Action
EvenBoth toothpastes include Mint and Clove Oil in their flavor, which are commonly used for their refreshing and traditional antibacterial properties, alongside botanical extracts.
Plaque & Tartar Control
EvenCalcium Carbonate and Silica act as abrasives to help remove plaque, and the botanical extracts may contribute to overall oral hygiene, supporting plaque and tartar control for both products.
Abrasivity & Enamel Wear
EvenBoth products list Calcium Carbonate and Silica as primary abrasives, which are effective for cleaning but their specific particle size and concentration determine the exact abrasivity, leading to an equivalent score.
Harsh Additives (SLS, Alcohol, Triclosan)
EvenBoth products contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Benzyl Alcohol, which can be considered harsh additives by some users, leading to a lower score for both.
