Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This bathing bar offers a traditional soap base with a range of botanical extracts. The primary concern is the presence of 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of its components, which is relevant to individuals with sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, or contact dermatitis due to the potential for undisclosed allergens. While many botanical extracts are listed, their trace amounts mean the product's primary cleansing action comes from the coconut-derived soap base. It is generally suitable for most users, but those with fragrance sensitivities should exercise caution.

Traditional soap base with undisclosed fragrance; trace botanicals

This bathing bar uses a coconut-derived soap base for cleansing, along with glycerin for moisture. The main safety consideration is the presence of 'Fragrance' without a detailed breakdown of its components, which can be an issue for people with fragrance sensitivities or allergies. Several botanical extracts are included, but their very low concentrations mean they are not counted as a formulation strength benefits.

Okay for: Most adults without fragrance sensitivities

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.

    Q.S.

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.

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.
