Yardley London Activated Charcoal Bath Bar Review

Yardley London has been crafting fine luxury soaps since 1770. Their new Activated Charcoal Bath Bar is the newest in their tradition of bars made with time-tested ingredients from nature.

Charcoal has gotten a lot of attention lately as a purifying ingredient. It's known for its ability to draw out impurities, and the Yardley London bar combines it with Bentonite clay to help purify and cleanse skin while you bathe. The scent is an uplifting blend of spearmint and bergamot to energize the senses.

You can see the ingredients list in the photo above. All of the Yardley London bars are paraben- and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)-free and are not tested on animals.

The Yardley London Activated Charcoal Bath Bar is a simple luxury. I really enjoyed using it in the shower, especially after a workout. It felt great to cleanse and purify my skin with the activated charcoal, as I knew it was giving me an added boost of cleansing. The scent is very light, but I absolutely love bergamot and it felt so calming to use it while washing! Even without SLS, it lathers up really well with a sponge or just between your hands. It's also curved, so it's easier to hold in your palm while lathering up.

Yardley London soaps are available at multiple stores, including Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, ShopRite, Publix, HEB, and Wegmans. The Activated Charcoal Bath Bar costs anywhere from $1.29 to $1.49 depending on the store (it is only $.97 at Walmart), so it's great for beauty on a budget.
