Japanese persimmon tannin

Why Persimino?
After about 40, skin produces more omega-7 fatty acids. As those oxidise they form 2-nonenal — an oily compound that ordinary, water-based soap washes straight over rather than lifting away.
Persimmon (kaki) tannin binds it at the source instead of covering it with fragrance. That's the whole idea. One bar, one job.
Ingredients
- Persimmon extract — the active, traditionally used in Japan for freshness-focused body care
- Shea butter — cushions the wash so the bar doesn't strip skin
- Glycerin — supports skin's natural moisture balance
- No parabens, no synthetic dyes, cruelty-free
Why is it expensive?
Fair question. A drugstore bar costs a dollar because it's mostly detergent, water and fragrance. Persimino isn't built that way.
- The active is real persimmon tannin, not perfume. Fragrance is the cheapest way to make a soap smell like it worked. Tannin is the expensive way to make it actually do something about nonenal.
- Short ingredient list, no filler. Shea butter and glycerin instead of the cheap surfactants that leave skin tight — those cost more per bar and don't show up on a price tag.
- Small batches, seasonal fruit. Persimmon has a harvest window. We make to it rather than running the cheapest continuous line we can find.
- It's cents per shower. One bar covers weeks of daily use, so the real comparison isn't bar-to-bar — it's against the deodorants, sprays and shirts you're replacing to chase the same problem.
And if it doesn't do what we say: 30 days, money back, even on an opened bar. We carry that risk, not you.
How to use
- Lather well and leave it on the skin for 30 seconds before rinsing — tannin needs contact time
- Focus on where nonenal concentrates: behind the ears, neck, chest, upper back
- Use daily, in place of your usual body wash
- Store on a draining dish so the bar dries between showers
Is it right for me?
It's for anyone who showers properly, uses deodorant, and still notices something a wash doesn't seem to fix — on a shirt collar, a pillowcase, in the car.
That's usually nonenal rather than ordinary sweat bacteria, and it's why it starts showing up around 40 regardless of how clean you are. Suitable for all skin types; patch test first if your skin is reactive.

Why body odor changes with age
Sweat isn't the whole story.
After about 40, skin produces more omega-7 fatty acids. As they oxidize on the skin's surface they form 2-nonenal — an oily compound with a distinct, lingering scent.
It behaves nothing like ordinary sweat odor. It's oil-based, it clings to fabric, and water-based soap tends to slide over it rather than lift it away. That's why the same shower routine stops feeling like enough.

Seven ingredients. Nothing you don't need.
Persimino's formula is short on purpose. In a daily bar for mature skin, what we leave out matters as much as what goes in:
Sodium Palmate · Glyceryl Stearate · Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter · Glycerin · 1,2-Hexanediol · Disodium EDTA · Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract
Persimino
Persimmon tannin body wash · 100ml

With persimmon extract, shea butter and glycerin, it’s thoughtful everyday body care designed around changing freshness needs.
The things people ask before they buy
What 2-nonenal actually is, how to use the bar, and what happens if it doesn't work for you.
What is 2-nonenal?
After about 40, skin produces more omega-7 fatty acids. As those oxidize they form 2-nonenal — an oily compound linked to the change people notice in their own scent.
It isn't sweat, and it isn't a hygiene problem. Because it's oil-based, water-based soap tends to slide over it rather than lift it away.
Does soap really do anything about it?
Persimmon (kaki) tannin binds 2-nonenal rather than covering it with fragrance. It's been used in Japan for this for a long time, and dermatologists describe the mechanism as plausible — though large clinical trials don't exist for it.
So we'd rather you test it than take our word for it. Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, even on an opened bar.
Who is Persimino for?
Adults, usually 40 and up, who shower properly and use deodorant and still notice something a wash doesn't seem to fix — on a shirt collar, a pillowcase, in the car.
Men and women both. It's a body bar, not a gendered product.
How do I use it?
Work the bar into a rich lather with your hands or a washcloth, then leave it on the skin for about 30 seconds before rinsing. Tannin needs contact time — rinsing straight off is the most common reason people say it didn't work.
Focus on where nonenal collects: behind the ears, the neck, chest and upper back. Use it daily, in place of your usual body wash.
What does it smell like?
Clean and subtle, with a faint natural earthiness from the persimmon extract. It rinses away rather than lingering, so it won't compete with your cologne or perfume.
What's in it?
Sodium Palmate, Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Disodium EDTA, Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract.
Shea butter and glycerin are there so a daily bar doesn't strip mature skin. If your skin is reactive, patch test first.
How big is a bar, and how long does it last?
Each bar is 100g / 3.53 oz. With daily use that's roughly four to six weeks, which is why most people start with the 3-bar pack.
Store it on a draining dish so it dries between showers — a bar left sitting in water won't last nearly as long.
Shipping and tracking
Orders ship within one business day. You'll get a confirmation email with tracking as soon as it leaves, so you can follow the delivery the whole way.
