Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 3.9 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This bathing bar contains Triclocarban, an antibacterial agent banned from rinse-off consumer antiseptic wash products in the US due to endocrine concerns. It also includes BHT, a synthetic antioxidant flagged for potential endocrine disruption, though deemed safe within EU cosmetic limits at specified concentrations. The presence of 'Fragrance' without specific allergen disclosure is a common concern for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. While the product contains traditional botanical extracts, these are listed in trace amounts and do not offset the primary safety concerns. This product is not suitable for those seeking to avoid endocrine-disrupting chemicals or undisclosed fragrance allergens.

Watch out for
Triclocarban, an antibacterial agent banned in US rinse-off products due to endocrine concerns.
Undisclosed 'Fragrance' can trigger allergies or sensitivities in susceptible individuals.
BHT, a synthetic antioxidant with potential endocrine-disrupting properties, though considered safe within EU cosmetic limits.
The soap base (Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate) is alkaline and may be more stripping to the skin's natural barrier compared to syndet bars.
Disodium Distyrylbiphenyl Disulfonate — an optical brightener (fluorescent whitening agent) — a synthetic dye that makes the product look whiter or brighter under light. It is not a preservative and has no antimicrobial or skincare function; it is a purely cosmetic additive with no benefit to the user, and best avoided in a baby product.
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.

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.
Triclocarban
Triclocarban is an antibacterial agent structurally related to triclosan. It amplifies the activity of testosterone and oestrogen in laboratory assays, and the US FDA banned it from consumer antiseptic washes in 2016 after manufacturers failed to show it was both safe for long-term use and more effective than plain soap. It also persists in the environment.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: US FDA Final Rule 81 FR 61106 (2016); Chen et al., Endocrinology 2008
Triclocarban: regulation, sources and other products →BHT (E321)
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant used to stop fats and fragrance oils going rancid. The concern is endocrine activity: animal studies report effects on thyroid hormone and liver enzymes, and the EU SCCS has assessed it as an endocrine-disruption candidate. It is NOT classified as a carcinogen by IARC — that classification (Group 2B) belongs to BHA, a different additive with a similar name. Permitted in cosmetics at low levels.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU SCCS Opinion on BHT (SCCS/1636/21); EFSA re-evaluation of E321
BHT: 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.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-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 ingredient list includes Azadirachta indica leaf extract (Neem) and Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree) leaf oil (Eucalyptus is not listed, Tea Tree Oil is a different ingredient), but Honey is not listed.
Market rank + professional endorsement claim — requires independent survey data and clinical evidence to substantiate; cannot be assessed from label data alone.
This claim refers to a recommendation by doctors, which cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The label declares Triclocarban — a registered antimicrobial agent, which is what a germ-protection claim rests on. The ingredient list supports the claim (note that the same biocide is flagged separately as a safety concern).
The ingredient list includes Triclocarban, which is an antiseptic agent, and various oils and extracts that can contribute to moisturizing properties.

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.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

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.
