B-ACNE CLEAR BATHING BAR
Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 7.5 ShowHide
Rates 7.7/10 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 bathing bar offers a mild cleansing experience with a syndet base, making it generally suitable for most skin types. The inclusion of Salicylic Acid and Azelaic Acid provides exfoliating and skin-clarifying benefits, which can be helpful for blemish-prone skin. However, the presence of an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend means individuals with fragrance allergies or sensitive skin should exercise caution, as specific allergens are not listed. The synthetic colorants, while permitted, are unnecessary additions. Overall, it's a well-formulated rinse-off product for general use, with specific caveats for those sensitive to fragrance.

Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for bath body. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Triggered by CI 19140, CI 42090 — a synthetic colour on our aromatic-amine watch list (impurity risk). A colour-quality caution, not a finding that this product contains a carcinogen.
Why the score is capped

Includes beneficial active ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Azelaic Acid for exfoliation and skin clarification.
Contains humectants (Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Panthenol) to help maintain skin hydration.

Watch out for
Undisclosed 'Fragrance' can trigger allergies or sensitivities in some individuals.
Salicylic Acid requires caution for use on young children and during pregnancy/breastfeeding.
Synthetic colorants (CI 19140, CI 42090) are present, which some consumers prefer to avoid.
Disodium EDTA — disodium EDTA is a chelating agent that keeps a product stable and clear. It has been flagged in some studies for potential endocrine-disrupting properties; regulatory consensus is not yet established, so it is noted as a low-level concern rather than a confirmed hazard.
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.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic acne and dandruff active. EU rules cap it (3% in leave-on products) and bar it from leave-on products for children under three years except shampoos, because it is absorbed through the skin and is chemically related to aspirin. Dermatologists commonly advise limiting high-strength use in pregnancy.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III (conditions of use); SCCS opinion on salicylic acid
Salicylic Acid: 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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 2023/1545; IFRA
Fragrance: regulation, sources and other products →Synthetic Cosmetic Colourants (CI)
These Colour Index (CI) numbers are colourants on the EU list of permitted cosmetic colours, each with conditions on where it may be used (for example, some are allowed only in products that do not stay in contact with mucous membranes). A listed colour in a product used as directed is not a finding of harm; the colour serves only to colour the product, and this is information for anyone who prefers to avoid synthetic dyes.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex IV (permitted colourants); SCCS opinions on colourants
Synthetic Cosmetic Colourants (CI): regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of individual fragrance allergens. This is a common source of skin irritation and allergic reactions for sensitive individuals.
Salicylic Acid is an exfoliating active. It is not recommended for leave-on use on children under 3 years of age and should be used with caution during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Contains synthetic cosmetic colorants (CI 19140, CI 42090). These are permitted for cosmetic use but offer no functional benefit and may be a concern for those avoiding synthetic additives.
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.
Salicylic Acid is listed in the ingredients, but the label does not state the 5% concentration, so the strength cannot be confirmed.
Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree) Leaf Extract is listed in the ingredients, confirming the presence of tea tree.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
