Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 7.5 ShowHide
Rates 8.7/10 on the rest of its formulation — the cap is a targeted caution, not a problem with the whole product.
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This shampoo offers a blend of mild and harsh cleansing agents, with the presence of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) being a primary concern for those with sensitive skin or scalp. The inclusion of 'Fragrance' without specific allergen disclosure is a transparency drawback, relevant to individuals with fragrance allergies. While it contains several beneficial botanical extracts and oils, many are listed in trace amounts, limiting their overall impact. The formulation includes a preservative that can form benzene with vitamin C, though this interaction is less critical in a rinse-off product. Overall, it's a moderately formulated shampoo that may suit those without skin sensitivities, but caution is advised for others.

Contains harsh surfactant and undisclosed fragrance
This shampoo contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a strong irritant for skin and scalp, which may cause dryness or sensitivity for some users. It also includes 'Fragrance' without specifying individual allergens, which is a common concern for people with fragrance sensitivities or allergies. While it has some beneficial plant-derived ingredients, many are present in very small amounts.

Many potentially beneficial botanical ingredients (Neem Oil, Rice Protein, Vitamin E, Green Coffee Derivative, Argan Oil, Tea Tree Oil) are listed near the end of the ingredient list, indicating trace amounts.
Ingredient Concerns safety database
Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
SLS is an aggressive surfactant that strips skin of its natural oils, disrupts the skin barrier, and can cause contact dermatitis, canker sores, and eye irritation. People with eczema, psoriasis, or sensitive skin should avoid SLS-containing products. It is particularly harsh in oral care products where it contacts mucous membranes.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: regulation, sources and other products →Sodium Benzoate (E211)
Benzoates are permitted preservatives with an established acceptable daily intake. Two documented concerns: in acidic drinks that also contain ascorbic acid (vitamin C) they can slowly form small amounts of benzene, especially with heat and light (US FDA beverage survey, 2006); and sodium benzoate was one of the additives in the Southampton study mixtures associated with hyperactivity in children. It can also trigger reactions in some people with asthma or urticaria.

Sodium Benzoate: regulation, sources and other products →Fragrance
"Fragrance" or "parfum" is a catch-all term that can conceal a blend of hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including known allergens, sensitisers, and potential endocrine disruptors. The EU now mandates disclosure of 82 specific fragrance allergens. People with fragrance sensitivity, asthma, or contact dermatitis should prefer fragrance-free products.

Fragrance: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a strong skin and mucous membrane irritant, especially for sensitive individuals. It is listed high in the ingredient order, indicating a significant concentration.
The product contains 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of individual fragrance allergens. This is a common source of contact allergens and can cause sensitization in susceptible individuals, as per EU Regulation 1223/2009.
Sodium Benzoate is a preservative that can form benzene when combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). While this interaction is less critical in a rinse-off product, it is a known concern.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The suitability for all hair types is a product claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list.
"Toxin-free" has no defined meaning — toxicity depends on dose, not on whether an ingredient sounds natural — so the phrase cannot be supported as written. Judge the product on the ingredient list below rather than on the slogan.
The ingredient list does not contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES).
The ingredient list does not contain any parabens.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
Fragrance allergens are substances EU cosmetics rules require to be named on the label (such as Limonene and Linalool). Fragrant botanicals such as essential oils are grouped with them because they can naturally contain such substances, but they are not on that list. They matter mainly for people with fragrance allergies or already-sensitive skin — not a general-population safety issue. Each named allergen takes a small deduction from the ingredient score, and a high count can cap it; fragrant botanicals take none. Naming them on the label is a transparency positive.

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.
