Why ordinary soap stops working
The smell is a compound, not a hygiene problem
From around your forties, skin produces more of an aldehyde called nonenal. It clings to fabric and skin, and soap built for surface dirt slides straight past it.
-
It is not sweat
Sweat is nearly odourless on its own. Nonenal forms when skin lipids oxidise, which is why washing harder does not fix it.
-
Deodorant sits on top
Antiperspirant blocks moisture and fragrance covers what is left. Neither removes the compound from your skin.
-
Tannin binds it
Persimmon tannin attaches to the odour molecule and holds on, so it leaves with the lather instead of staying behind.
-
You rinse, it is gone
Thirty seconds of lather on the right areas. No spray, no reapplying at lunchtime.
Choose your bar
Three scents. Three sizes. One bar does about a month.
Most people start with two — one for the shower, one for the sink. The four-pack is the one repeat customers come back for.

Why people switch and stay
It works on the compound
Persimmon tannin binds nonenal rather than covering it, so nothing needs reapplying at lunchtime.
Short ingredient list
Persimmon extract, green tea, camellia seed oil. No aluminium, no parabens, no synthetic dye.
Kind on tired skin
A gentle surfactant base and an unscented option, so it suits reactive and mature skin.

What is in the bar
Four ingredients doing the work
Nothing in here is filler. The full INCI list sits in the FAQ below, unabbreviated.
緑茶
Green tea extract
Catechins that calm the skin and slow the oxidation odour starts with.
椿油
Camellia seed oil
A light oil used in Japan for centuries. Keeps the bar from stripping skin that is already dry.
海塩
Sea salt
Draws out surface residue and gives the lather enough grip to actually clean.
Thirty seconds, five places
Wash where the odour actually forms
Nonenal collects on sebum-rich skin, which is rarely where people scrub. Lather, leave it for twenty seconds, rinse.
-
1
Behind the ears
Dense in sebaceous glands and almost never washed properly. Start here.
-
2
Back of the neck
Where collars pick it up first. Work the lather right down to the hairline.
-
3
Chest and décolleté
Sebum-rich, and it transfers straight onto the front of your shirt.
-
4
Underarms
Wash here before deodorant, not instead of it, if you still want one.
-
5
Upper back
The spot you cannot reach is the spot other people stand behind.
Pro tip
The back of the neck and behind the ears matter most, and they are the two spots almost everyone skips. Give them the full twenty seconds before you rinse.
What to expect
It is not instant, and that is the point
You are removing something that has been building up, not spraying over it. Give the bar a fortnight of daily use before you judge it.
Day one
Clean, not perfumed
Skin feels squeaky rather than coated. The unscented bar leaves nothing behind at all.
Week one
Shirts stay fresher
The first thing most people notice is not their skin — it is that yesterday's collar smells like nothing.
Month one
You stop thinking about it
Buildup is gone rather than managed, so the anxious mid-afternoon check goes with it.

Before you ask
Questions we get every week
How do I know nonenal is my problem?
The usual sign is that the smell is on your clothes and pillowcase rather than on your skin, and it is worse in the morning than after exercise. It also tends not to respond to stronger deodorant, because deodorant was never aimed at it.
How long does one bar last?
About a month of daily washing, assuming you use it on the five areas rather than head to toe. Keep it on a draining dish — a bar sitting in water disappears in half the time.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
The unscented bar is formulated for reactive and mature skin, with no added fragrance or dye. Patch test on your inner forearm for two days if you react to things. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, ask your doctor before changing what you wash with.
Will I smell like perfume?
No. Unscented leaves nothing behind. Lavender and yuzu are light enough to fade within about twenty minutes — they are there for the shower, not to be your fragrance.
Can I still wear deodorant?
Yes. Wash with the bar, dry, then apply whatever you normally use. The two are doing different jobs.
What is the full ingredient list?
Add your final INCI list here, exactly as it appears on the carton, once your manufacturer confirms it.
What if it does not work for me?
Email us within sixty days and we refund the order. You do not need to send the bar back.
How fast do you ship?
Orders leave the warehouse within one business day. Delivery times and costs are on the shipping page.
