Reviewed 35 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This bathing bar is formulated with a traditional saponified base of coconut, olive, and almond oils, which effectively cleanses the skin. While the saponification process inherently results in an alkaline product, which can be drying for some, the inclusion of glycerin helps to mitigate this effect. The product is transparent about its ingredients, with the only caution being the presence of essential oils (sandalwood and turmeric) which, though in trace amounts, could be a concern for individuals with very sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. Overall, it's a well-formulated, transparent product suitable for most users.

Decode Label Analysis
Traditional saponified soaps are inherently alkaline (pH 9-10), which can disrupt the skin's acid mantle and lead to dryness or irritation for some individuals, especially those with sensitive or compromised skin barriers. The presence of glycerin helps to mitigate this effect.

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.
Fragrance allergens are substances EU cosmetics rules require to be named on the label (such as Limonene and Linalool). Fragrant botanicals such as essential oils are grouped with them because they can naturally contain such substances, but they are not on that list. They matter mainly for people with fragrance allergies or already-sensitive skin — not a general-population safety issue. Each named allergen takes a small deduction from the ingredient score, and a high count can cap it; fragrant botanicals take none. Naming them on the label is a transparency positive.

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.
