as far as i can tell it is soap like any other soap [SEP] although the fragrance and ingredients claim to be ginger coconut and turmeric it has more of a lemon fragrance to me perhaps the blend of ginger and coconut if you concentrate you can smell the ginger but if you just catch a whiff of it i think you would say it is lemonit is a small hard milled bar and it cleanses well and is refreshing beyond that it seems pretty expensive for the size of the bar even if it is hard milledas regards the claims made i have no idea i think it would take months if not years for the ingredients to achieve the claims that the seller makes especially since this is a topical application i have done a lot of research on nutraceutical ingredients and for sure both ginger and turmeric are well documented and studied beneficial products but not necessarily when used topicallyif you buy into the claims try it at worst it is a decent if expensive soapreview of lymphatic drainage organic ginger soap
