The long afternoon

The day is longer than the shower.

You washed at seven. By the time anyone hugs you, it has been twelve hours.

Most deodorants pile a smell on top of a smell, and you end up carrying both. People notice that too.

This one uses the same fermented kakishibu as the Kakiyu bar. It works on the odor instead of hiding it. Aluminum-free and lightly scented. A deodorant, not an antiperspirant.

The bar does the morning, and this does the rest of the day.

Apply to clean, dry skin once a day, after the shower. That is the whole routine.
Why kakishibu

The smell after 40 is not sweat.

After 40, the skin makes a new oil, and that oil is what smells. It is called nonenal, and it is not sweat. Soap and water slide over it the way water slides over a greasy pan, so another shower changes nothing. A scent laid over it leaves the oil where it was.

Kakishibu is the juice of unripe persimmons. It is pressed green and fermented for months, until it turns deep amber. Ours is made by the traditional Japanese kakishibu method and certified at over 90% tannin, lot-tested. The tannin is the point. Persimmons ripen once a year, so we press one harvest and wait for the next autumn.

Persimmon soap got popular, and the copies followed. A persimmon scent in a plain bar, and no fermented fruit under it. Scent covers a smell. Fermented kakishibu works on it. This stick is lightly scented, but the kakishibu does the work, the same extract as the bar. We would rather run out than stretch it.

The Kakiyu ritual

It takes a moment, once a day.

1. Wash with the bar. Pat the skin dry.

2. Apply to clean, dry skin. Once a day.

3. Give it a moment to settle. Then dress.

Dry skin matters. Wait a minute after the towel before you apply.

What is inside.

Fermented kakishibu does the odor work. Minerals and plant oils do the rest, held together with beeswax, and there is no aluminum in it.

Questions, answered

Everything else you want to know.

Is this an antiperspirant?
No. It is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It works on the odor and does not stop you sweating. There is no aluminum in it.
Can I use it with the bar?
That is how it is meant to be used. The bar in the shower, this one for the rest of the day. Both carry the same fermented kakishibu.
What does it smell like?
It is lightly scented. There is a fragrance in it, kept low, so it does not announce itself. It is not unscented. It does not read as men's or women's, and it suits both.
How long does one stick last?
Each stick is 2.8 oz (80 g). Applied once a day, it lasts months, not weeks. Keep the cap on between uses.
My skin is sensitive. Is it for me?
It is aluminum-free, with shea butter and plant oils, but it does contain baking soda and a light fragrance. If your skin is reactive, test it on a small patch for a day or two first. If it bothers you, stop and write to us.
What if it does not work for me?
Use it for 60 days. If you are not happy, email us and we refund you in full.

Does not smell of anything, which is exactly what I wanted. Everything else in the shop smells like a car freshener.

I put it on before my grandson comes over. That is the whole reason I bought it.
