Deodorant covers it.

Kaki shibu is the tannin pressed from unripe Japanese persimmons. It has been used for hundreds of years to dye and waterproof textiles, to clarify sake, and to make soap — long before anyone had a word for the chemistry behind it.
That chemistry is simple enough. Tannins are polyphenols, and polyphenols bind readily to organic compounds — including nonenal, the compound behind the particular body odour that develops with age and doesn't wash off with ordinary soap.
Bound to the tannin, those compounds leave with the lather. Nothing is masked, and nothing is left behind to smell.

You can't judge a deodorizing soap in one shower — you judge it at seven in the evening after a long day. So take thirty days and use it properly. If it doesn't do what we said, email us and we'll refund you. Keep the bars.
