Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This oral care product contains a blend of traditional botanical ingredients, alongside common salts and some active compounds. The presence of undisclosed fragrance is a notable concern for individuals with sensitivities, as it can contain a wide array of potential allergens. Additionally, camphor, while present in a small amount, is toxic if ingested in larger quantities, which is a particular consideration for oral care products that may be partly swallowed, especially by young children. The inclusion of Aluminium Sulphate also raises a caution due to ongoing debates about aluminium exposure. For most adults, used as directed and spat out, the risks are generally low, but those with fragrance allergies or parents of young children should exercise caution.

Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for oral care. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Toddlers & young children (1–5)
LimitContains Camphor, which can be toxic if swallowed in quantity. Supervise children closely during use to minimize 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
Rule PC-CAP-23 · Source: US FDA (21 CFR 310.545 and consumer warnings on camphor ingestion)
Undisclosed fragrance (allergens not named)
Rule PC-CAP-06
What's good
Contains several traditional botanical extracts known for beneficial properties like antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects (Neem, Ginger, Cinnamon, Clove, Amla).
Uses natural salts (Kala Namak, Sendha Namak) for flavour and mineral content.
Watch out for
Undisclosed 'Fragrance' can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Camphor poses an ingestion risk, especially for young children.
Aluminium Sulphate is present, an ingredient with ongoing safety discussions.
Kapoor (Camphora officinarum) — can cause seizures if swallowed in quantity — supervise young children.

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 →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 →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.

Aluminium: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains undisclosed 'Fragrance' which can be a source of numerous unlisted allergens, posing a risk for individuals with fragrance sensitivities or allergies.
Contains Camphor, which can be toxic if swallowed in quantity. This is a particular concern for oral care products that may be partly ingested, especially by young children.
Contains Aluminium Sulphate, an aluminium compound. There is ongoing scientific debate regarding the long-term health effects of aluminium exposure, though topical/oral care exposure is generally limited.
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.
This is a benefit claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or other label information.
The product is named 'Dant Manjan', which means tooth powder, and the ingredients are consistent with a tooth powder formulation.
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.
