“My daughter noticed before I did.”
She's the one who bought it for me in the first place, so she was watching. It's part of my shower now and I don't think about it.

How do I use it?
Daily, in the shower. Work the lather where the odor tends to sit: behind the ears, the neck, the chest and the upper back. Rinse well and stand the bar somewhere it can drain.
Will it get rid of the odor completely?
We're not going to promise you that. It's a soap: it washes away the musty odor that can come with age, used daily. Anyone guaranteeing you a result in one wash is guessing.
Is it gentle enough to use every day?
It's made as a daily body bar with a soft lather that rinses clean. If your skin is sensitive, patch test a small area first and stop using it if you get any irritation.
What if it's not for me?

From our customers
How people actually use it.
Reviews reflect individual experiences. Individual results may vary.
“It's a bar, so it lives in the shower.”
I'd tried sprays and they were one more thing to remember. This one is already where I am every morning, which is the only reason I've kept it up.

“The lather is soft and it rinses clean.”
At my age most bars leave my skin tight. This one doesn't, and there's nothing left on the skin afterwards.
VERIFIED CUSTOMER
“Behind the ears was the bit I'd been missing.”
I'd never thought about washing there properly. The instructions say neck, chest and upper back too, and that changed how I use it.

- Behind the ears, the neck, the chest and the upper back
- Work up a lather and give those areas a few seconds each
- Rinse well and pat dry rather than rubbing
Week 2:Make It the Daily Bar
- Use it every day rather than saving it for occasions
- Keep it in the shower, not in a cupboard
- If your skin feels tight anywhere, use it on the body only
Week 3:Make It Automatic
- Same bar, same order, every morning
- Nothing to spray, apply or reapply afterwards
- Stand it on a draining dish between uses
Week 4+:Keep the Bar Happy
- Let it dry out fully between showers

- Store the spares somewhere dry and out of the sun
FAQ
Everything you need to know before you start.
How do I use it?
Daily, in the shower. Work up a lather and spend a few seconds on the places the odor tends to sit: behind the ears, the neck, the chest and the upper back. Rinse well, pat dry, and stand the bar somewhere it can drain rather than leaving it in a pool of water.
Will it get rid of the odor completely?
We're not going to promise you that, and we'd be suspicious of anyone who does. This is a soap. It washes away the musty body odor that can come with age, and it does that each time you use it. Japanese persimmon extract has a long history as a deodorizing ingredient, which is why it's in here, but a bar of soap is not a guarantee and we're not going to dress it up as one.
Does it keep working through the day?
No. It works while you're washing, and its job ends when you rinse. We don't claim any kind of protection that lasts after the shower, because a soap can't give you one. If that's what you're after, what you want is a deodorant, not this.
Is it gentle enough for daily use on mature skin?
It's made as a daily body bar, with a soft lather that rinses clean and doesn't leave a film. Skin that's drier with age tends to dislike a squeaky finish, and this isn't one. If your skin is sensitive, patch test a small area first and stop using it if you get any irritation.
What's in it?
It's built around Japanese persimmon extract, the kaki tannin that gives the bar its name. The full ingredient list is printed on the wrapper. It's a soap rather than a perfume: it isn't designed to sit on your skin with a scent afterwards.
How do I make a bar last?
Keep it dry between showers. A bar left sitting in water softens and goes three times as fast, so a draining dish or a rack is worth more than anything else you can do. Store the spares somewhere dry and out of direct sun, still in their wrappers.
What if it's not for me?
You have 30 days from delivery to try it. Not for you? Email our support and we'll refund you in full, no questions and no return required.
