Decode Label Safety Score
Decode Label Safety Badge
Held by the top 12% of everything we score. Awarded on this product's published 7.0/10 — every scoring lane clear, no significant concern, and nothing on the label that its own ingredient list contradicts.

Rates 8.4/10 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 toothpaste offers a generally good formulation for oral hygiene, featuring mild surfactants and beneficial ingredients like xylitol and zinc citrate. However, the presence of 'Flavours' without specific disclosure reduces transparency. Individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should be aware that menthol and thymol, while providing freshness, can be potential irritants. The product is generally suitable for adults and older children, but specific age-related cautions apply due to menthol and xylitol.

Good oral care with mild surfactants, undisclosed flavours
This toothpaste uses mild cleansing agents and includes xylitol for cavity protection and zinc citrate for plaque control. However, the generic 'Flavours' listing means specific flavouring compounds are not disclosed, which can be a concern for those with sensitivities. Menthol and thymol provide freshness but may irritate very sensitive individuals. The numerous botanical extracts are listed in trace amounts and do not contribute significantly to the formulation's strength.

Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract — stevia (steviol glycosides, INS 960) is a natural, plant-derived (stevia leaf) high-intensity sweetener — not artificial. It sweetens without sugar or calories and is FSSAI/JECFA-approved with an established acceptable daily intake, considered safe within it. Noted only as a low-level, preference concern for those avoiding intense sweeteners.

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 →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.

Contains 'Flavours' without specific disclosure, which can be a concern for individuals with sensitivities to undisclosed flavouring compounds.
Menthol is a cooling agent that is not recommended for infants and toddlers due to potential breathing reflex risks.
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol; excessive intake can cause bloating and a laxative effect, though this is less likely with typical toothpaste use.
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 'Feel the Difference Bursting with Flavor and Foam!' is a subjective sensory experience that cannot be verified from the ingredient list.
The ingredient list does not contain fluoride or any fluoride compounds.
The ingredient list does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).
The ingredient list does not contain carrageenan.
The ingredient list does not contain any ingredients known to contain gluten.
The ingredient list does not contain triclosan.
Menthol (from mint leaves) is listed in the ingredients, supporting the 'simply mint' flavor claim.
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.
