Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 7.5 ShowHide
Rates 8.9/10 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 blend of cleansing and skin-conditioning ingredients. While it contains beneficial emollients and humectants, the presence of 'Fragrance' without specific allergen disclosure is a notable concern for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. Kojic Acid, a skin-lightening active, is also present and can be irritating or sensitising for some users. The formulation includes a mix of traditional soap-making ingredients and modern mild surfactants, aiming for effective cleansing with some skin benefits.

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.
Kojic Acid
Kojic acid is a skin-lightening active. The EU safety committee concluded it is safe in face and hand products up to 1%, and that higher concentrations raise concerns of skin sensitisation and systemic exposure. Soaps and washes marketed at 2% or more exceed that.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: SCCS opinion on kojic acid (SCCS/1637/21, 2022); EU Regulation 1223/2009
Kojic 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 →Sugar Alcohols (Polyols)
Polyols are bulk sweeteners and humectants (also used in toothpaste). They are only partly absorbed, so large amounts can cause gas, bloating and a laxative effect, and EU rules require foods containing them to say "excessive consumption may produce laxative effects". Xylitol is toxic to dogs.

Sugar Alcohols (Polyols): regulation, sources and other products →Propylene Glycol (E1520)
Propylene glycol is a widely used humectant and solvent considered safe at normal levels. It can irritate or sensitise a minority of people, mainly in leave-on products on damaged or eczema-prone skin.
Peer-reviewed research Source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review; contact-dermatitis literature
Propylene Glycol: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of individual fragrance allergens, which can be a concern for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.
Kojic Acid is a skin-lightening active that can cause skin irritation and sensitisation in some individuals. Its use is limited to 1% in the EU.
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 claim "BRIGHTENING" is a subjective benefit that cannot be objectively verified from the ingredient list alone.
The label states "9% COMPLEX" but does not specify what the 9% refers to or how it is measured, making it unverifiable.
Glutathione is listed in the ingredients.
Kojic Acid is listed in the ingredients.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is listed in the ingredients.
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.
