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

This toothpaste offers a generally mild cleansing experience with a blend of natural extracts. The presence of Xylitol and Menthol requires specific age-related cautions for young children due to potential laxative effects from excessive ingestion and breathing reflex risks, respectively. The 'Flavours' ingredient lacks specific disclosure, which impacts transparency. Overall, it is suitable for adults and older children, provided the age-specific cautions are observed.

Mild toothpaste with sugar alcohol and undisclosed flavours

This toothpaste uses mild cleansing agents and includes Xylitol, a sugar alcohol, and Menthol. While generally safe, Xylitol can cause a laxative effect if swallowed in large amounts, and Menthol is not recommended for infants and toddlers due to potential breathing reflex risks. The 'Flavours' ingredient is not specifically disclosed, which means the exact flavouring compounds are unknown.

Okay for: Adults Children over 6 (with supervision)

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.

Decode Label Analysis

Menthol and Peppermint Oil: Cooling agent - not for infants and toddlers (breathing reflex risk).

Sugar alcohol (Xylitol): Excessive intake can cause bloating and a laxative effect.

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.

?
"Feel the Difference Bursting with Flavor and Foam!" Can't verify

The claim "Feel the Difference Bursting with Flavor and Foam!" is a subjective sensory experience that cannot be verified from the ingredient list.

?
"Gluten Free" Can't verify

The ingredient list does not explicitly state the presence or absence of gluten, and while no obvious gluten-containing ingredients are listed, cross-contamination cannot be ruled out from the label alone.

?
"simply cinnamon" Can't verify

The label lists this only as a flavouring (nature-identical or artificial), which is made to resemble the ingredient rather than being it, so the pack cannot confirm the ingredient the name implies.

Flavor (from Cinnamon oil other essential oils and botanicals)
✓
"Fluoride Free" Checks out

The ingredient list does not contain any fluoride compounds.

Fluoride is not listed in the ingredients.
✓
"SLS Free" Checks out

The ingredient list does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).

SLS is not listed in the ingredients.
✓
"Carrageenan Free" Checks out

The ingredient list does not contain carrageenan.

Carrageenan is not listed in the ingredients.
✓
"Triclosan Free" Checks out

The ingredient list does not contain triclosan.

Triclosan is not listed in the ingredients.

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.
