Rates 8.9/10 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 contains traditional Ayurvedic ingredients like Asphatic Bhasma and Tankana Bhasma, alongside common oral care components. The presence of undisclosed 'Flavours' and the preservative Sodium Benzoate are the primary points of caution. Sodium Benzoate can form benzene in the presence of vitamin C, a concern for those who might use it with vitamin C-containing oral products. The lack of specific flavour disclosure also limits transparency for individuals with sensitivities. Overall, it is suitable for general use, but those with specific sensitivities to preservatives or undisclosed flavouring agents should exercise caution.

Sodium Benzoate (E211)
Benzoates are permitted preservatives with an established acceptable daily intake. Two documented concerns: in acidic drinks that also contain ascorbic acid (vitamin C) they can slowly form small amounts of benzene, especially with heat and light (US FDA beverage survey, 2006); and sodium benzoate was one of the additives in the Southampton study mixtures associated with hyperactivity in children. It can also trigger reactions in some people with asthma or urticaria.

Sodium Benzoate: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Sodium Benzoate, a preservative that can form benzene when combined with vitamin C. This is a concern for individuals who might use other oral products containing vitamin C.
The term 'Flavours' is generic and does not disclose specific flavouring agents, which may be a concern for individuals with sensitivities or allergies.
Combined Effects interactions
Sodium Benzoate can react with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to form benzene, a known carcinogen. While Vitamin C is not in this product, users should be aware if using other oral products containing it.
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 ingredient list does not specify 26 herbs or provide enough detail to verify the claim of 'precious herbs' or a 'unique formula'.
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.
