How it works
Why the smell happens
After 40, your skin makes a new oil. It's called nonenal. At times it can feel like a waxy layer on your skin, it sits there and starts to smell grassy and musty.

100% NATURALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS
Fermented Persimmon Extract
The smell comes from an oil on your skin. Persimmon tannins grab that oil and rinse it away. We age ours up to 3 years - aging makes the tannins many times stronger.
Aged Green Tea Catechins
Skin oil turns smelly as it oxidizes - like a cut apple going brown. Green tea slows that down. So you stay fresh longer between showers.
Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil
Odor soaps usually strip your skin. This one doesn't. Coconut oil keeps skin soft after every wash. No tight feeling.
Pure Glycerin
Pulls water into your skin and holds it there. Soft skin hours after the shower.
Why your skin
Why tannins fix it
The tannins inside our persimmon bar attach to that oil and rinse it away.
Fresh persimmon is too weak, our bar has been aged 3 years, which makes it many times stronger.
The Slow Craft Behind Every Bar.
Picked unripe — on purpose. Every summer, our partner farmers in Japan grab the persimmons while they're still small, hard, and bitter. We want them to ripen in our own controlled environment.
Fermented and crushed by hand. The fruit rests in wooden barrels until it softens, then each one is crushed by hand. The thick juice goes into traditional clay pots to ferment naturally, no heat, no additives. Just time.
Aged for up to 3 years. The pots sit. Month after month, the juice turns a deep gold and the tannins grow stronger. Only then do we blend in green tea, coconut oil and glycerin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does this soap do?
It washes away that musty, sour smell your skin starts making as you get older. Regular soap can't lift it, it just slides right over it. This soap is made to actually remove it.
Why doesn't my normal soap work?
The smell is oily. Water and regular soap slide right over it. This soap grabs it and lifts it off.
How long does one bar last?
One soap lasts for about one month. To make it last longer you can use it where the smell comes from - behind the ears, the necks, the pits.
I'm only in my 40s. Is this for me?
Yes. The smell can start at 40. A lot of women notice it in perimenopause. A lot of men notice it too. You're not imagining it.
I can't smell it on myself. Does it still work?
You can't smell your own. That's normal. But other people can. After this, they'll just notice you smell fresh and clean.
Will it dry out my skin?
No. It leaves your skin soft. No tight, stripped feeling. Gentle on older skin.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Many of our customers told us they just left a bar in their bathroom. No awkward talk needed. It does the work quietly.

A Little Goes a Long Way
Yes it's pricey, but you only use it on the spots the smell comes from — behind the ears, neck, pits. One bar lasts me months. Worth every penny.

No Awkward Conversation Needed
Noticed it on my mom and couldn't find the words. Left a bar in her bathroom instead. The musty smell in her room is going away and we never had to talk about it.

Peri Got Me Paranoid
Perimenopause changed how I smell and I was convinced everyone could tell. This is the only thing that's made me feel confident again. I just use it where the smell comes from at the end of my shower.
