Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 7.5 ShowHide
Rates 8.0/10 on the rest of its formulation — the cap is a targeted caution, not a problem with the whole product.
Reviewed 10 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This bathing bar provides effective cleansing primarily through saponified palm oils, which can be alkaline and potentially drying for some skin types. The presence of 'Fragrance' without specific allergen disclosure is a notable concern for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. While it contains some beneficial trace botanicals, their low concentration means they are unlikely to offer significant skin benefits.

Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for bath body. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Why the score is capped
Undisclosed fragrance (allergens not named)
Rule PC-CAP-06
What's good
Contains glycerin and sorbitol, which are humectants that help to moisturize the skin.
Citric Acid helps to adjust the pH.
Watch out for
The primary cleansing agents (Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate) are traditional soap, which can be alkaline and potentially drying to the skin.
Undisclosed 'Fragrance' is a common allergen and irritant for sensitive skin.
Talc (Hydrated Magnesium Silicate) is present, with IARC Group 2B classification for perineal use.
Sodium Alpha Olefin Sulfonate can be moderately irritating, especially for sensitive skin.
Trace amounts of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and Citrus Aurantifolia Juice are not counted as a formulation strength.
CI 11680 — a synthetic colour (Colour Index dye) added purely for appearance — it gives the product no benefit for skin or health. Permitted at regulated levels, but synthetic dyes of this class are a recognised contact-irritant and sensitiser risk for some people, so they are noted as a moderate, subgroup-level concern rather than a general-population hazard.
CI 74260 — a synthetic colour (Colour Index dye) added purely for appearance — it gives the product no benefit for skin or health. Permitted at regulated levels, but synthetic dyes of this class are a recognised contact-irritant and sensitiser risk for some people, so they are noted as a moderate, subgroup-level concern rather than a general-population hazard.

Talc
Talc can be naturally contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen. Perineal use of talcum powder has been linked to ovarian cancer in multiple studies and class-action lawsuits. Johnson & Johnson discontinued its talc-based baby powder globally in 2023. Prefer cornstarch-based alternatives.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: IARC; FDA Talc testing programme; J&J litigation
Talc: regulation, sources and other products →Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
A high-foaming anionic detergent used as a primary or secondary cleanser. On its own it is comparably stripping to SLS. In a syndet bar it is usually the SECONDARY surfactant behind a mild primary such as Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, and the blend as a whole is far gentler than the raw ingredient suggests — so read it in the context of the full cleansing system rather than in isolation.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: SCCS; Ananthapadmanabhan et al., Dermatologic Therapy 2004
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate: regulation, sources and other products →Fragrance
"Fragrance" or "parfum" is a catch-all term that can conceal a blend of hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including known allergens, sensitisers, and potential endocrine disruptors. The EU now mandates disclosure of 82 specific fragrance allergens. People with fragrance sensitivity, asthma, or contact dermatitis should prefer fragrance-free products.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 2023/1545; IFRA
Fragrance: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Talc (Hydrated Magnesium Silicate), which is classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) for perineal use due to potential asbestos contamination and links to ovarian cancer. While this is a rinse-off product, caution is advised, especially for perineal application.
Contains 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of individual fragrance allergens. This can be a significant concern for individuals with sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, or contact dermatitis, as it may contain common sensitizers (EU Reg. 1223/2009 Art. 19 + Annex III).
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.
This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
The claim '3X FRESHNESS' is a marketing claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition information.
The ingredient list includes Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citrus Aurantifolia Juice (Lime), and Menthol.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
