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 is primarily a traditional saponified soap, which can be alkaline and potentially drying for some skin types. The main concerns are the presence of undisclosed fragrance, which is a common allergen for sensitive individuals, and BHT, an antioxidant with endocrine-disruption concerns, though deemed safe within regulatory limits for rinse-off products. Individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should exercise caution.

Traditional soap base with undisclosed fragrance and endocrine-disruptor concern
The score is capped for a specific safety reason, set out below. This bathing bar uses a traditional soap base, which can be more alkaline than modern syndet bars. It contains an undisclosed fragrance blend, a common source of allergens for sensitive skin. Additionally, it includes BHT, an antioxidant flagged for potential endocrine disruption, though its use in rinse-off cosmetics is considered safe within specified limits by the EU SCCS. Several synthetic colorants are also present.

What's good
Contains Glycerin, a beneficial humectant.
Watch out for
Undisclosed fragrance blend, a common source of allergens.
BHT, an antioxidant with endocrine-disruption concerns.
CI 47000, a synthetic colorant and recognized contact sensitizer.
Traditional saponified soap base can be alkaline and potentially drying for some skin types.
Multiple synthetic colorants present.
CI 74160 — permitted cosmetic colourant - the EU limits where on the body each may be used.
CI 11680 — permitted cosmetic colourant - the EU limits where on the body each may be used.
CI 61565 — a synthetic colour (Colour Index dye) added purely for appearance — it gives the product no benefit for skin or health. Permitted at regulated levels, but synthetic dyes of this class are a recognised contact-irritant and sensitiser risk for some people, so they are noted as a moderate, subgroup-level concern rather than a general-population hazard.
Sorbitol — sugar alcohol - excessive intake can cause bloating and a laxative effect.
Ingredient Concerns safety database
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.
CI 47000
CI 47000 (D&C Yellow No. 11) is a synthetic quinoline dye and a well-documented contact sensitiser — it is one of the dyes screened for in patch testing. EU cosmetic rules restrict it to rinse-off products and bar it from anything applied to mucous membranes or the eye area. It is a colourant only: it delivers no benefit to the formulation.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex IV; SCCS; contact-dermatitis patch-test series
CI 47000: 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.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 2023/1545; IFRA
Fragrance: regulation, sources and other products →Sugar Alcohols (Polyols)
Polyols are bulk sweeteners and humectants (also used in toothpaste). They are only partly absorbed, so large amounts can cause gas, bloating and a laxative effect, and EU rules require foods containing them to say "excessive consumption may produce laxative effects". Xylitol is toxic to dogs.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1169/2011 Annex III (polyol labelling statement); EU Regulation 1333/2008
Sugar Alcohols (Polyols): regulation, sources and other products →Synthetic Cosmetic Colourants (CI)
These Colour Index (CI) numbers are colourants on the EU list of permitted cosmetic colours, each with conditions on where it may be used (for example, some are allowed only in products that do not stay in contact with mucous membranes). A listed colour in a product used as directed is not a finding of harm; the colour serves only to colour the product, and this is information for anyone who prefers to avoid synthetic dyes.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex IV (permitted colourants); SCCS opinions on colourants
Synthetic Cosmetic Colourants (CI): regulation, sources and other products →Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs)
PEG ingredients are made by ethoxylation, which can leave traces of ethylene oxide (IARC Group 1) and 1,4-dioxane (IARC Group 2B) unless removed. Good manufacturing removes them, so the ingredient itself is not a hazard, but the label cannot tell you whether it was done well. PEGs should not be applied to broken skin.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: IARC Monographs Vol. 100F (ethylene oxide) and Vol. 71 (1,4-dioxane); Cosmetic Ingredient Review
Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs): regulation, sources and other products →Propylene Glycol (E1520)
Propylene glycol is a widely used humectant and solvent considered safe at normal levels. It can irritate or sensitise a minority of people, mainly in leave-on products on damaged or eczema-prone skin.
Peer-reviewed research Source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review; contact-dermatitis literature
Propylene Glycol: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Fragrance is an undisclosed mix and a common allergen. Individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should exercise caution.
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant with endocrine-disruption concerns, though deemed safe within regulatory limits for rinse-off products by the EU SCCS.
CI 47000 is a synthetic quinoline dye and a recognized contact sensitizer, restricted in cosmetics from mucous membrane contact by EU regulations.
Propylene Glycol can be an occasional skin irritant at higher concentrations, though less of a concern in a rinse-off product.
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.
Market rank + professional endorsement claim — requires independent survey data and clinical evidence to substantiate; cannot be assessed from label data alone.
The ingredient list includes Lemon Peel Extract and Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract, confirming the presence of lime and aloe vera.

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.
