Explain every ingredient

Calcium carbonate — Good. Gentle mineral cleaner.
Aqua — Neutral. Base: keeps the paste moist.
glycerin — Neutral. Base: keeps the paste moist.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (derived from palm oil) — Red flag. Sodium lauryl sulfate. Harsh foaming agent; SLS-free paste reduced mouth-ulcer number and pain in a 2019 review of 4 trials.
Flavour — Watch. Flavor or fragrance not broken down on the label. A transparency issue, not a toxicity finding.
Carrageenan — Watch. Seaweed thickener. Gut-inflammation concerns come from food and animal studies, not toothpaste; weak evidence.
Azadirachta indica (Neem) — Good. Neem (Azadirachta indica): the reason for the category. Lab studies show it inhibits cavity bacteria; clinical plaque/gum evidence is small and short-term.
Sodium silicate — Neutral. Silica: standard polishing agent.
sodium saccharin — Red flag. Artificial sweetener. Harm at toothpaste exposure is not shown; this is your clean-label preference.
Herbal Extract (Anacyclus pyrethrum, Acacia arabica, Mimusops elengi, Symplocos racemosa, Syzygium cumini) — Neutral. Plant ingredient.
Chlorophyllin — Watch. Semi-synthetic green colorant.
