Great Charcoal Soap – I Really Like It!
Scent: Ocean, Scent: Ocean
I’m honestly surprised how much I like this charcoal soap. The packaging was clean and professional, and all four bars came in perfect condition. Each bar is a good size, and it feels like it will last a long time. The scent is fresh and not overpowering, and the soap gives a nice deep-clean feeling without drying out my skin. I like that it has ingredients like peppermint, sea salt, and shea butter — it actually feels refreshing after a shower. The mesh bag they include is also really useful for getting more lather and keeping the soap from melting too fast. Overall, this is a solid charcoal soap set. Good quality, good fragrance, and worth the price. I’m happy with it and will definitely keep using it!

Good soap with a few details
Scent: Lemon, Scent: Lemon
I've been using this soap for several weeks now, and it's worked well for cleaning without drying out my skin. The foam is abundant and has a natural aroma, not strong at all. I like that it includes ingredients like turmeric and shea butter because my skin feels softer. The only thing I noticed is that from the pigment, it can leave a slight yellow mark on sponges or cloths if they are not rinsed thoroughly, and the size of the stick is smaller than it looks in the photo. Overall, it is a good natural choice for those looking for a different and gentle soap for daily use.

Long lasting but don’t take anything off the skin it’s great for moisturizing but not for washing anything away like deodorant it can’t handle the task, smells great during wash but not long lasting after.
