How we got 5.5 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 oral care product features a blend of traditional Ayurvedic ingredients and common oral care components. While many botanicals offer potential benefits, the incomplete ingredient list is a significant transparency concern, as the base formulation (which constitutes the majority of the product) is not disclosed. Individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should be aware of the natural allergens present in some botanical extracts. The presence of Menthol and Kapur (Camphor) requires caution for young children due to potential respiratory irritation.

Traditional oral care blend with undisclosed base ingredients; menthol caution for children
This oral care product combines several traditional botanical ingredients with common components like salt and menthol. A key concern is the incomplete ingredient list, which only details active ingredients and omits the primary cleansing or carrier base, making a full safety assessment impossible. Menthol and Kapur (Camphor) are present, which means this product is not suitable for infants and young children due to potential breathing reflex risks. People with sensitive skin or allergies to natural fragrances should also be aware of potential allergens from the botanical extracts.

Menthol and Peppermint Oil
Menthol, the main component of peppermint oil, can trigger a reflex that slows or stops breathing in babies when applied or inhaled near the face. The European Medicines Agency herbal monograph for peppermint oil contraindicates it under 2 years of age because of this laryngospasm risk, and does not recommend it between 2 and 4 years because there is not enough experience. For adults and older children it is a normal cooling and flavouring agent in toothpaste and body products, and can irritate sensitive skin at higher strengths.

Menthol and Peppermint Oil: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
The ingredient list appears incomplete, disclosing only active ingredients without a base or carrier. This lack of transparency prevents a full safety assessment of the product's overall formulation.
Contains Menthol and Kapur (Camphor), which are cooling agents that can cause respiratory distress or irritation, particularly in infants and toddlers. Not suitable for this age group.
Combined Effects interactions
Both Menthol and Kapur (Camphor) are volatile compounds that can cause respiratory irritation, especially in sensitive individuals or young children. Their combined presence may increase the likelihood or severity of such effects.

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.
