Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
Karpoor, while traditionally used, can be toxic if ingested in significant quantities, which is a risk in an oral care product that is not fully rinsed out. The undisclosed fragrance blend is a common source of allergens, making this product less suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. The label also appears to be an incomplete disclosure, listing only active ingredients without a base, which limits a full safety assessment.

Contains Karpoor (Camphor).
This oral care product includes Karpoor (Camphor), which can be harmful if swallowed in quantity, a relevant concern for a product used in the mouth. It also contains an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend, which is a common source of allergens for sensitive individuals. The ingredient list appears to be incomplete, as it only details active components without a base, preventing a full safety assessment of the entire formulation.

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 →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Karpoor (Camphor), which can cause seizures if swallowed in quantity. This is a significant concern for an oral care product where ingestion is possible, especially for young children.
The product contains an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend. These blends can contain over 3,000 possible chemicals, many of which are common allergens and sensitizers for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.
The ingredient list appears incomplete, only listing 'key' or active ingredients without a base (e.g., water, surfactant, or carrier oil). This limits a full safety assessment of the entire formulation.
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 'AUTHENTIC AYURVEDA' is a designation 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.
