What the product description says
β€œYardley London Lemon Verbena Moisturizing Bath Soap Bar gently cleanses with ingredients that help soften, tone and uplift.”
Source: Walgreens

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, sodium palm kernelate, sodium tallowate, tallow acid) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Sodium palm kernelateEffect: High~4.5–6.7%
Tallow acidEffect: High~1.6–2.5%
