After 40 this stops being a hygiene problem and starts being a chemistry one.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhere around 40, the omega-7 fatty acids in your skin's surface oils begin oxidizing into 2-nonenal — the aldehyde behind age-related body odor. It is oil-soluble, so it sits inside that film rather than on top of it. That single fact explains why more showers, hotter water and a stronger deodorant never reached it, and why fragrance only ever parks on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersimmon tannin is a polyphenol, and polyphenols bind aldehydes. Kakishibu — the Japanese deodorizing tradition this bar is built on — grabs the nonenal molecule instead of washing past it. That is the whole difference between removing the smell and burying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShea butter, glycerin and green tea are in the formula so that removing it does not cost you a comfortable skin barrier. Fragrance-free on purpose: a soap that smells strong gives you no way of knowing whether it removed anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo sulfates. No parabens. 100 g \/ 3.527 oz bar, supplied with the foaming mesh pouch the lather depends on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mellowby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50685664592127,"sku":"MELLOWBY-45769051701427","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/9621\/1711\/files\/studio-wgx3ea.png?v=1792192898","url":"https:\/\/www.mellowby.com\/products\/mellowby-persimmon-soap","provider":"mellowby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
