From around 40, skin produces 2‑nonenal — an odour compound ordinary soap washes straight over. Japanese persimmon tannin breaks it down, so freshness comes from your skin, not a fragrance.

As skin matures, its natural oils oxidise — like a sliced apple browning — producing 2‑nonenal. It's biology, not bad hygiene. Persimmon tannin binds to that exact compound and breaks it down in the wash.
KAKI TANNIN
GREEN TEANo sulphates. No synthetic fragrance. Coconut oil, hyaluronic acid and hydrolysed collagen keep mature skin comfortable — clean without the tight, stripped feeling.
You've never been unclean — your soap was simply never built for the chemistry of over‑45 skin. Here's the difference, side by side.
SYLVAN
I shower every morning, so when my grandson started pulling away and holding his breath around me, I was heartbroken. A nurse friend explained that ageing skin makes nonenal — and soap just slides off it. Within a week of switching, he buried his face in my jumper again.

My wife put it in the shower without saying a word. I'd never have bought ‘special soap’ for myself in a million years. Three weeks on, I ordered the 3-pack myself — that tells you everything.

When my daughter said my spare room smelled ‘a bit musty’, I was mortified — I keep a spotless home. Nobody tells you about nonenal, and normal soap can't dissolve it. Now my grandkids sit right on my lap again.
