As you age, your skin’s oils break down and produce 2-nonenal, the compound behind that stale, greasy “old person smell.”
You’ve probably noticed washing with regular soap doesn’t fix it. Think of cutting garlic for dinner, then washing your hands with soap. Your hands are clean, but the garlic smell is still there.
Washing your skin and neutralizing the odor are two different jobs.
That’s why our bar uses persimmon, a fruit rich in tannins. These natural plant substances react directly with 2-nonenal and neutralize its odor as you wash, leaving your skin fresh and clean.
