How do I know if I have nonenal?
Why is it expensive?
- Real kakishibu. Kakiyu uses a concentrated persimmon tannin extract, not a fragrance.
- Lot-tested. The extract we use is lot-tested at over 90 percent tannin. The lab report is on file.
- Picked green, then concentrated. The fruit is picked unripe and dried. Its tannin is drawn out and concentrated.
- Seasonal and rare. Persimmons ripen once a year, in autumn. One harvest makes a limited number of bars, so every batch is small.
- Still less than your morning coffee. For a problem you actually want gone.
How long does it last?
Is there a guarantee?
It is not your hygiene.
It is a compound called nonenal.
After 40, skin can start making a compound called nonenal. That compound is what smells.
Think of a greasy pan. Water runs right over it, and the grease stays. Regular soap does the same thing with nonenal. That is why showering more changes nothing.
You often cannot smell it on yourself. Other people can.
How Kakiyu
is made.
Persimmons ripen once a year. We make Kakiyu in small batches from one harvest. That is what real fruit costs.
The unripe fruit is dried. Its tannin is drawn out and concentrated. The extract is lot-tested at over 90 percent tannin. Then it is poured into a glycerin base that holds moisture.
Persimmon soap got popular. The copycats came fast. Neon orange bars. Persimmon fragrance. Two for $10. But there is no shortcut to real kakishibu. Kakiyu uses a concentrated persimmon tannin extract, not a fragrance.
