Not sure which scent?

Start with Unscented. It leaves nothing behind at all, which is the point — and it suits reactive skin.

Before you ask

Before you decide

I already shower every day. Why would this be different?

Nonenal is an oxidised skin lipid, not dirt, so ordinary soap has nothing to grab it with. Washing more often does not shift it — binding it does.

How do I know this is even my problem?

The tell is where the smell lives. If it is on your collar and your pillowcase rather than on your skin, and it is worse in the morning than after the gym, that is the signature. Stronger deodorant not working is the other clue.

Am I signing up for a subscription?

No. It is a one-time purchase. We do not run auto-ship and we do not store your card for a future charge.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Deodorant sits on top

    Antiperspirant blocks moisture and fragrance covers what is left. Neither removes the compound from your skin.

  3. Tannin binds it

    Persimmon tannin attaches to the odour molecule and holds on, so it leaves with the lather instead of staying behind.

  4. You rinse, it is gone

    Thirty seconds of lather on the right areas. No spray, no reapplying at lunchtime.

What is in the bar

Four ingredients doing the work

A short list is a decision, not a shortcut. Every gram spent on a fifth active is a gram not spent on the tannin that does the job.

Ripe Japanese persimmon with green calyx on linen

Japanese persimmon

The tannin that binds odour compounds on contact. Pressed from astringent persimmons picked in autumn.

Fresh green tea leaves in a Japanese tea garden

Green tea extract

Catechins that calm the skin and slow the oxidation odour starts with.

Camellia flower beside a vial of golden seed oil

Camellia seed oil

A light oil used in Japan for centuries. Keeps the bar from stripping skin that is already dry.

Coarse sea salt crystals in a ceramic dish

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. 1
    Behind the ears

    Dense in sebaceous glands and almost never washed properly. Start here.

  2. 2
    Back of the neck

    Where collars pick it up first. Work the lather right down to the hairline.

  3. 3
    Chest and décolleté

    Sebum-rich, and it transfers straight onto the front of your shirt.

  4. 4
    Underarms

    Wash here before deodorant, not instead of it, if you still want one.

  5. 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.

Individual experience varies. This is a cosmetic product and is not intended to treat any medical condition.

60 DAYS GUARANTEE

No risk

Use the whole bar. If it does nothing, we refund it.

Wash with it daily for sixty days. If the people around you notice no difference, email us and we refund the order — you keep what is left of the bar. No sealed-packaging clause, no return required. We would rather lose the sale than argue about 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.

Can I use it on my whole body?

Yes. It is a normal bar soap and safe head to toe. The five areas in the diagram above are simply where the compound concentrates, so that is where the thirty seconds pays off.

How long does one bar last?

About a month of daily washing. 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, and it does not need to be unused.

Still unsure? Email us and a person will answer within one business day.
