“I had tried so much before, but this was the first thing that actually made a difference. Being able to hug my grandchildren without walking around wondering what I smell like means everything to me.”

Why body odor changes

Why body odor changes with age

From around age 40, the skin starts producing more 2-nonenal, a fat-soluble compound that forms when the skin's own oils oxidize. It is linked to the typical odor that settles into skin, clothes and bedding.

It has nothing to do with hygiene. But because the compound is fat-soluble, regular soap or body wash doesn't fully rinse it away, and perfume only hides it for a while.

The Japanese ritual for

The Japanese ritual for mature skin

In Japan, persimmon fruit extract has long been used in soap. Persimmon, or kaki, is rich in tannins, plant compounds that bind to odor molecules. Together with a creamy coconut-oil lather, it helps tackle 2-nonenal where it forms, in the skin.

The result isn't a new scent. It's no scent at all, just clean skin.

How to use it

  1. 1. Lather

    Wet your skin and lather the bar in your hands or on a washcloth.

  2. 2. Focus

    Wash the neck, behind the ears, chest and back, where 2-nonenal mostly forms.

  3. 3. Leave on and rinse

    Leave the lather on for 30–60 seconds, then rinse. Keep the bar dry and it lasts about 6 weeks.

I was a bit skeptical at first but was pleasantly surprised. I feel fresh for longer after showering and don't have to think as much about how I smell. Will buy again.

I never usually write reviews, but this one actually deserves one. I've had trouble feeling fresh even though I shower every day. It has gotten much better since I started using it.

After menopause I felt my body odor changed, and ordinary shower soap didn't really help. This one has worked much better for me. Gentle on the skin too.

I'm 69 and started noticing that I didn't feel as fresh as before, especially toward the end of the day. I've been using the soap for a while now and actually think it has made a big difference. I feel much more confident.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is mild and contains coconut oil and glycerin to help prevent dryness. If you have a skin condition or known allergies, check the ingredient list or ask your doctor first.
Does the soap have a strong scent?
No. The soap has a light, natural persimmon scent. It's made to smell clean and subtle so it won't clash with your perfume.
How often should I use it?
Use it daily as part of your usual shower or bath routine, especially where aging odor tends to form: behind the ears, around the neck, on the chest and across the back.
How is it different from regular soap?
Most regular soaps only wash sweat and dirt off the surface and don't reach nonenal, the oil-soluble compound linked to aging odor. Our formula uses persimmon extract rich in natural tannins, which help neutralize odor molecules at the source instead of masking them.
What if I'm not happy?
We back the product with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy, contact us within 60 days and get the full amount back. You also always have a 14-day right of withdrawal.
