Most deodorant soaps mask odor with fragrance. Persimmon extract works differently, it contains natural tannins that neutralize the bacteria responsible for body odor at the source. There's no artificial fragrance covering anything up. The result is skin that smells clean, not perfumed, and stays that way longer between washes.
Yes. This bar is formulated for face, body, and hands. It's gentle enough for daily facial use, and the mild lather rinses clean without leaving residue or stripping the skin's natural moisture. If you have very sensitive facial skin, patch test first on your jaw or neck.
Each 100g bar lasts approximately 30 days with daily use. To extend its life, store it on a draining soap dish between uses, the bar softens in standing water. The included mesh bag helps it dry quickly and doubles as a gentle exfoliating pouch.
Subtle, clean, and slightly earthy with a hint of citrus. It doesn't smell like a fruit bowl, it smells like clean skin. The scent rinses off and doesn't interfere with perfume or cologne. Multiple reviewers describe it as smelling "fresh and clean" rather than strongly fragrant.

Questions people ask before they buy
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is a fruit native to Japan and East Asia that's been used in traditional skincare for centuries. Its high tannin content gives it natural astringent and antibacterial properties. Tannins bind to and neutralize the compounds that bacteria convert into odor on skin, which is why this soap removes odor rather than masking it with fragrance.
Yes. The formula is free from high-concern chemicals, synthetic fragrance, and harsh sulfates. Many of our customers with sensitive skin, hormonal skin changes, or conditions like eczema-prone or dry skin use it daily on both face and body. We still recommend a patch test if your skin is particularly reactive.
No. The formula includes glycerin, aloe, and sorbitol, all humectants that draw moisture to the skin surface during cleansing. Most people find they need less moisturizer after switching to this bar. One reviewer who normally needed three layers of post-shower oils found she didn't need them after using the bar with the mesh bag.
Yes, this is one of the most consistent things customers report. The tannins in persimmon extract are effective at binding and removing chlorine compounds that cling to skin after swimming, something most soaps fail to do. If you swim regularly, keep one in your gym bag.
This is one of the most common reasons people find this soap, and the feedback is consistently positive. The compound associated with age-related body odor (2-nonenal) is a fatty acid oxidation byproduct, and persimmon tannins are effective at neutralizing it. Many customers report results from the very first use.
Store it on a soap dish with drainage, or hang the mesh bag to let it dry completely between uses. Avoid leaving it sitting in standing water, that's what causes bars to go soft and dissolve quickly. Some customers cut the bar into thirds to make it last even longer and keep one piece in a dedicated spot.
Yes, every bar ships with a mesh wash bag included. The bag creates better lather, acts as a gentle exfoliator, and keeps the bar dry between uses. It can also be hung to dry in the shower, which keeps both the bag and bar in good shape between washes.
We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you use the bar consistently and aren't happy with the results, contact us within 60 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full. No forms, no photos required.
We ship to the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and most of Europe. Standard delivery is 5–15 business days. Expedited options are available at checkout.

"Great soap for clean-feeling skin with a gentle, fresh scent. Doesn't dry out my skin at all. One bar lasts almost two weeks with daily use. I put it in the mesh bag and the lather is incredible. The scent isn't strong, it just smells clean. Already ordered more."

"I wanted to try this, highly recommended for ladies of a certain age, if you know, you know. It's gentle enough for my face and I've worked it into my daily skincare routine. I love the scent and the way it feels. I cut the bar into thirds which makes it incredibly economical. The mesh bag that comes with it is perfect for a gentle exfoliation. Would absolutely recommend."

"Worth every penny. I swim regularly and the chlorine smell would cling to my skin for days — no other soap touched it. This one got rid of it completely on the first use. My skin is sensitive and prone to drying out, and I didn't need my usual post-shower moisturizing routine after using this. Keep one in your gym bag. You'll thank yourself."

"I've been using this for about a year. It removes odor, doesn't cover it. The fragrance is subtle and it rinses completely clean, no residue. The mesh bag that comes with it keeps the bar dry and makes exfoliating easy. Costs more than a regular bar of soap. Worth every cent of the difference."
