Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This oral care product offers a natural approach to dental hygiene, primarily relying on mineral clays and activated charcoal for cleansing. The inclusion of several essential oils, while contributing to flavour, also introduces potential allergens for individuals with sensitive oral mucosa or fragrance allergies. While the product avoids harsh synthetic ingredients, the presence of multiple essential oils, even in trace amounts, warrants caution for specific user groups.

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.
