Mirai Clinical's persimmon soap, a popular solution for combating age-related body odor, is currently available at its lowest price ever during Amazon Prime Day. The soap, which normally retails for $23, is now priced at $14, representing a 38% discount.
What Causes Age-Related Body Odor?
According to experts previously cited by HuffPost, body odor changes with aging due to the skin producing different compounds over time. The distinct smell, often called “old people smell,” is caused by the compound 2-nonenal. Unlike regular body odor, it is not a sign of poor hygiene and does not typically wash off with ordinary soap and water. The compound begins to develop around age 40 as antioxidant defenses in the skin decline, leading to a mild to moderate musty or organic smell that varies from person to person.
How Persimmon Soap Works
Dermatologist Dr. Naana Boakye, founder of Bergen Dermatology, previously explained that “persimmon soap, which contains tannins, has a plausible mechanism and a long history of use, though large randomized trials are lacking.” The Mirai Clinical bar soap is the most popular and widely reviewed option, with a dense concentration of persimmon-derived tannins and green tea extract for antioxidant protection. The soap is best used on key areas where nonenal odors develop, such as feet, underarms, and the back of the neck.
Customer Reviews Highlight Effectiveness
One Amazon customer tested the soap behind their ears, a common area for the smell. “The results were pretty remarkable,” they wrote. “I washed behind my ears on day one and then didn’t do it again for three days, constantly smelling that area each day. The smell stayed gone for two days, and by about the third day, it was starting to become slightly noticeable. That made me a believer.”
Other reviewers reported success with perimenopause-related odors and general body odors resistant to other soaps. One customer noted, “Magical!! This stuff really works! No more perimenopause weird odor.” Another said, “Within days of using Mirai clinical persimmon soap I smell clean and fresh again.”
