The unique Kaori secret

Not all persimmon soap is the same

It's not about how much persimmon extract is in a bar. The tannin makes the change.

What is tannin?

Tannin is a natural compound found in plants. You know it from red wine and black tea. It's what makes your mouth feel dry.

  • Red wine
  • Black tea
  • Persimmons

Persimmons are especially rich in it. Bite into an unripe one, and your mouth puckers right away. That's the tannin.

Why tannin helps your skin

  1. What changes

    From midlife on, the skin makes more 2-nonenal, an oily compound that clings to skin, clothes and bedding. And it's hard to notice on yourself.

  2. What tannin does

    Persimmon tannin neutralizes it. That's why we put it in our soap: so it works right on your skin, every time you wash.

  3. What you get

    Your granddaughter runs into your arms, and your new smell gives you confidence.

Accept your age. Solve what you can actually change.

The tannin is what works

But more persimmon extract doesn't automatically mean more tannin.

What we test for

Actual persimmon tannin

What really neutralizes the odor. This is what we test for.

How we focus on the tannin

  1. Made from green persimmons

    Tannin is highest in green, unripe persimmons. That's what we use.

  2. Modern direct extraction

    Instead of pressing, fermenting and aging, a modern extraction concentrates the tannin-rich part directly.

  3. Tested for real tannin

    We test for the actual tannin inside the extract, not just the extract percentage.
