Persimmon in name only, and tight skin
Most bars sold as persimmon soap are scented or splashed with juice rather than made with the fruit's tannin. And plain supermarket bars often leave skin feeling tight and squeaky once you towel off.
- Made with fermented kakishibu, a persimmon-derived tannin, not a fruit fragrance
- Glycerin base helps soften skin as you wash instead of stripping it
- Shea butter and olive fruit oil keep the lather creamy rather than harsh
What's in the bar, and what it does
Four named components on a glycerin base, in a bar you keep by the shower.
Fermented kakishibu
Persimmon-derived tannin made by the traditional Japanese kakishibu method — the fruit is in the formula, not just on the label.
Moisturizing glycerin base
Glycerin draws water to the skin as you wash, so the bar cleans without the tight, stripped feeling of a basic soap.
Shea butter and olive fruit oil
Two classic conditioning fats round out the formula, so the lather feels creamy instead of harsh on the skin.
Subtle clean scent
Light enough to wear under cologne, perfume or nothing at all — and easy to share in a household bathroom.
Round translucent bar
A puck-shaped amber bar with a raised five-petal flower on the face, so it looks deliberate sitting on the sink.
What it doesn't do
It's a wash-off cleansing bar, not a deodorant or antiperspirant, and not a treatment for body odor, acne or eczema. The full ingredient list wasn't supplied, so we can't confirm it's free of any specific ingredient.
Lives where you already wash
One bar, three places it ends up in a normal week.
Who this bar is for
Great for
- You shower daily and prefer a solid bar to body wash
- You want a real kakishibu soap, not persimmon fragrance
- Plain supermarket bars leave your skin feeling tight
- You share a bathroom and want a light scent
Not the right pick if
- You need an all-day deodorant or antiperspirant
- You want the full INCI list before you buy
- You're treating a skin condition — see a doctor first
- You want scent, size or multi-pack options
A glassy amber puck with a raised blossom
The bar is clear glycerin soap in a warm persimmon orange, thick enough to pinch between thumb and fingers.
- Flat round face with a raised five-petal flower and fine stamen lines
- See-through amber body with tiny trapped air bubbles throughout
- Straight side wall with faint mold lines and a glossy sheen

Keep the bar in good shape
Glycerin bars are soft by nature. Three habits make a real difference.
Start with a dish
Have a draining soap dish ready before the first shower. Standing water is what turns a glycerin bar soft and mushy.
Give it 60 seconds
Lather in your hands or on a washcloth, then wash for about a minute, spending extra time on neck, underarms and feet.
Move it out of the spray
Keep the bar off the shelf directly under the shower head so it isn't melting away while you rinse.
One bar, one color, one scent
- 1 x persimmon bar soap (round, translucent amber, embossed floral face)

What people ask most
Is this really made with persimmon?
Yes. It's made with fermented kakishibu — a persimmon-derived tannin produced by a traditional Japanese method — rather than a fragrance that just smells like fruit.
Will it dry out my skin?
It's built on a moisturizing glycerin base, which helps soften skin as you wash, with shea butter and olive fruit oil in the formula. Everyone's skin differs, so stop using it if yours becomes irritated.
Can I use it on my face or hair?
It's a general body cleansing bar — not a facial-specific, shampoo or shaving bar. Keep it away from your eyes, and rinse with water if lather gets in them.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
We can't say. The complete ingredient list wasn't supplied, so we can't confirm it's free of parabens, dyes or common allergens, and no sensitive-skin or dermatologist testing has been substantiated.
How long will one bar last?
The manufacturer didn't supply a weight, so we won't guess. Lifespan depends mostly on storage: keep it on a draining dish out of the shower stream and let it dry fully between uses.
What comes in the order?
One persimmon bar soap — round, translucent amber, with an embossed floral face. It's sold as a single bar in one color and scent; there are no size or multi-pack options.
