How we got 6.0 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This oral care product contains several botanical extracts alongside functional ingredients. The presence of Camphor, while providing a cooling sensation, is a notable concern due to its toxicity if ingested, especially for young children who may swallow toothpaste. Menthol also requires caution for infants and toddlers due to potential breathing reflex risks. Potassium Nitrate is included for sensitivity relief, and Calcium Carbonate acts as an abrasive. Individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should be aware of the botanical extracts, which can contain natural allergens.

LimitContains Camphor, which can be toxic if swallowed. Supervise brushing closely to ensure minimal ingestion.
Why the score is capped
Contains camphor in a product that is partly swallowed. Camphor is toxic when ingested, so US FDA limits it in consumer products; a toothpaste is not rinsed off the mouth

Menthol and Peppermint Oil
Menthol, the main component of peppermint oil, can trigger a reflex that slows or stops breathing in babies when applied or inhaled near the face. The European Medicines Agency herbal monograph for peppermint oil contraindicates it under 2 years of age because of this laryngospasm risk, and does not recommend it between 2 and 4 years because there is not enough experience. For adults and older children it is a normal cooling and flavouring agent in toothpaste and body products, and can irritate sensitive skin at higher strengths.

Menthol and Peppermint Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Camphor
Camphor gives a cooling, medicinal sensation and is a traditional ingredient in Ayurvedic oral-care and balm products. Swallowed in quantity it is toxic: a US poison-centre practice guideline refers anyone who has swallowed more than 30 mg of camphor per kg of body weight to an emergency department, because convulsions can follow. That threshold is far above what normal brushing involves, and the label does not show how much camphor a dose of this product carries, so this is a caution about young children who swallow toothpaste, not a finding of harm from ordinary use. In the US, camphorated oil drug products need new-drug approval.

Camphor: regulation, sources and other products →Aluminium
Aluminium salts block sweat glands in antiperspirants. Some researchers have proposed links to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease, though current evidence is inconclusive and regulatory bodies have not restricted its use. People who are concerned may prefer deodorants (not antiperspirants) which do not contain aluminium.

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 term 'HOLISTIC AYURVEDA' is a broad marketing claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
