Ingredients

  1. Japanese Persimmon Extract (Diospyros kaki): The active. Kaki tannin binds to 2-nonenal and neutralises it chemically rather than covering it with fragrance.
  2. Persimmon Tannin (Kaki-Shibu): The concentrated tannin fraction, used in Japan for generations for age-related odour. This is what makes the 60-second contact time worth doing.
  3. Japanese Green Tea Extract: Rich in catechins. Antioxidant support that helps slow the oxidation of skin lipids, which is the process that creates nonenal in the first place.
  4. Zinc Ricinoleate: A castor-derived odour absorber that traps odour molecules instead of masking them. No aluminium, no antiperspirant action.
  5. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate: A coconut-derived cleanser that lathers richly at skin-friendly pH, so the bar cleans without the alkaline strip of traditional soap.
  6. Alkyl Polyglycoside (APG): A gentle, plant-derived cleanser that cleans effectively without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
  7. Camellia Seed Oil (Tsubaki): The Japanese answer to mature skin. Deeply moisturising and fast-absorbing, it offsets the natural astringency of persimmon tannin.
  8. Shea Butter (unrefined): Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it replaces what tannins draw out. This is the reason CURO does not leave skin tight the way traditional kaki soap does.
  9. Glycerin: A powerful humectant that attracts moisture, keeping mature skin hydrated and soft.
  10. Olive Oil: A natural emollient that softens skin, rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
  11. Hydrolysed Collagen: Supports skin hydration and leaves skin feeling smooth and supple after cleansing.
  12. Hyaluronic Acid: Retains moisture in the skin, helping it stay plump rather than dry and papery.
  13. Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Protects skin from environmental oxidation while improving texture. Directly relevant here, since nonenal is an oxidation product.
  14. Rice Bran Extract: Traditional Japanese cleansing ingredient. Softens and conditions skin, supports an even tone.
  15. Citric Acid: Adjusts the bar to pH 5.5, matching your skin's natural acid mantle so the barrier stays intact.
  16. Aqua (Water): The base ingredient that blends and carries the actives.
  17. No fragrance, ever: No perfume, no essential oil masking, no synthetic scent. The faint clean note you smell is the persimmon and green tea themselves. Perfume plus nonenal does not smell clean, it smells like perfume and nonenal.

These ingredients work together to create a bar that does not just clean but neutralises age-related odour at its chemical source, while restoring the moisture that mature skin loses.

How to Use

How to Use:

  1. Wet skin Thoroughly wet your skin with warm water.
  2. Lather up Work the bar into a rich lather in your hands, or in the soap saver pouch.
  3. Apply to the five zones Massage the lather behind the ears, the back of the neck, the upper chest, the upper back and shoulders. These are where nonenal is produced, not the armpits.
  4. Wait 60 seconds Leave the lather on the skin. This is the step that matters. Persimmon tannin needs contact time to bind the odour compound, and rinsing early washes the active away before it works.
  5. Rinse Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  6. Pat dry Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
  7. Moisturise Follow with your usual moisturiser if you want, though most people find they no longer need one on these areas.

Pro Tips:

  • Use daily. Nonenal is produced continuously, so consistency beats intensity
  • Do the ear test before your first wash, then again after three showers
  • Safe for face and body. Avoid direct contact with the eyes
  • Wash your collars and pillowcases at the same time you start. Nonenal clings to fabric, and old buildup will smell even after your skin is clean
  • Keep the bar out of the shower stream and let it dry between uses. Store it in the soap saver pouch or a draining dish and it will last 4 to 6 weeks
  • No perfume needed afterwards. The point is that there is nothing to cover

How do I know if I have Nonenal?

Nonenal, a natural compound that's created when skin oils oxidize, is characterized by a greasy or musty smell. This usually happens after 40 when a decline in our skin's antioxidants occurs due to aging.

How quickly will I see results?

Most customers notice a change within 2-3 showers. The clearest sign is the ear test: rub your finger behind your ear before your first use, then again 3 days later. The difference is usually unmistakable. By week 2, most subscribers report cleaner-smelling pillowcases and clothing — that's when you know the nonenal buildup is clearing, not just being masked.

I have dry, sensitive skin. Will this make it worse?

This was the #1 thing we formulated around. Traditional persimmon tannin soaps are naturally astringent and notoriously drying it's the most common complaint in competitor reviews. CURO adds unrefined shea butter and glycerin specifically to counter this. The formula is also pH 5.5, matching your skin's natural range, which means it won't strip your acid mantle the way alkaline bar soaps do. 96% of our customers report no dryness or irritation with daily use.

Why Regular Soap Can't Fix This

After age 40, your skin produces an oil-based compound called 2-nonenal  the source of "aging odor." Because it's oil-based, regular soap and water simply can't break it down. No matter how hard you scrub.

Persimmon tannins are the only natural ingredient proven to chemically neutralize nonenal at the molecular level. That's the science behind every bar of CURO

Think of it like trying to wash grease off a pan with just water. You can scrub all day - the grease clings. You need a degreaser. That's what persimmon tannins do to aging odor.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Nonenal is caused by the oxidation of omega-7 fatty acids on aging skin, especially after age 40. As antioxidant levels drop, these fatty acids break down, producing nonenal an odor linked with aging. CURO targets this at the source with persimmon extract.
Nonenal typically starts appearing after the age of 40, when the skin's antioxidant defenses weaken. This allows fatty acids to oxidize and release a noticeable odor. CURO Clinical offers solutions specifically formulated for this age-related change.
Older adults smell differently due to the production of nonenal, a compound formed by oxidized skin lipids. It's a natural part of aging, not poor hygiene. CURO Clinical products are designed to gently eliminate this odor without harsh chemicals.
Nonenal body odor is a distinct, grassy or waxy scent caused by skin lipid oxidation in people over 40. It sticks to skin and clothes, unlike typical sweat odors. CURO Clinical's persimmon-based formulas help neutralize this hard-to-remove scent.
Nonenal clings to fabrics and resists normal detergents. To remove it, pre-soak clothes in vinegar or baking soda, then wash with odor-neutralizing agents. CURO recommends using persimmon based fabric solutions for best results.
Regular soap can't break down nonenal. Use products formulated with Japanese persimmon extract, like Deodorizing Soap with Persimmon, which effectively neutralize and remove the odor at its source without irritating aging skin.
No, regular soap cannot effectively remove nonenal because it doesn't break down the oxidized fatty acids. Only targeted formulas like CURO Persimmon Soap are proven to eliminate nonenal odor from skin.
Nonenal odor has an unpleasant grassy, greasy, or musty odor. It is often hard to detect on oneself, but will linger on fabric such as shirt collars and pillow cases. Because it is oil based, Nonenal is not easily removed by conventional soap and water.
Usually around age 40, when the skin's antioxidant defenses start to weaken. Although most may think body odor comes from poor hygiene, that's not always the case as it can also come from age-related body changes.
There are two distinctly different sources of Body Odor: 1. Sweat glands which secrete water-based sweat that's easily removed with soap. 2. Sebaceous glands which produce lipids that oxidize into Nonenal, which is not water soluble and persists despite scrubbing.
Women may experience changes during menopause due to hot flashes and night sweats. Studies show middle-aged men often have worse body odor due to higher testosterone ratios. Stress can exacerbate Nonenal production in both genders.
Soaps with Persimmon Extract eliminate 97% of Nonenal instantly compared to conventional soaps. The powerful anti-oxidant properties of purified Japanese Green Tea extends the effectiveness to provide all day freshness and deodorant protection.

I love this soap and I bought because I’m experiencing menopause not because of the “old people smell. ” It definitely helps with the odor of perspiration on my entire body!! I can put my lotion and creams on the soap fragrance doesn’t mix with it. Would definitely buy again though it’s a bit pricey for the size of the bar. I’ve also used the regular persimmon bar it works well, too!

This is a fantastic product. I had been changing soaps, shampoos, laundry soaps and sheets, and the unpleasant smell remained. Within days of using curo clinical persimmon soap I smell clean and fresh again. I also use the deodorant. I like the round shape of the bar and it makes a nice lather. I recommend this to everyone.

Excellent product- seems to take away oil as skin feels cleaner. Nice smell, like pears soap. Worth a try but is a bit expensive

Post menopausal body smell change worried me as i am a clean person. I was aware of an unpleasant greasyish odour. Found this soap and my goodness how happy i am! Use as suggested, neck, behind ears, upper chest and back genitals and feet and it actually works! Very expensive though, please lower the price asap and you'll have many more sales. I will buy it again and use sparingly as it lathers up well and i use ordinary soap on the other areas of my body. Very good.

I am enjoying this soap. It lathers nicely and does not have a flowery or strong smell or any real lingering odor. It just smells clean, and isn't that the point? Plus, my skin feels fine after using it and is not dry. The soap is a little pricey, so I have it encased in a scrubber that holds the lather and also hangs up, so the soap dries out fast. Since it is my scrubber alone, it also ensures that no one else uses my soap. I will probably try some of the other persimmon soaps and compare results with this one. I had to start somewhere and I am pleased with this soap as my first effort.

I requested a replacement for the melted Curo soap bar as pictured above. I am now very pleased to offer an exceptional five star review.
Lessons learn:
1. The Melt-down aspect is a real concern. If the soap is left, near warm or hot water temperatures, the soap will melt very quickly.
2. Use a mesh pour as pictured above to get a really sudsy and soapy lather.! “I loved it!! “
3. I was exceptionally pleased with the “squeaky, clean” feeling after showering. There was no soap residue feeling left on skin.
4. I recommend getting a subscription for automatic delivery as impromptu orders may take longer and result in postpone deliveries.

I highly recommend the mirai soap bar for my reasons as listed.

By the time I’d washed my face and brushed my teeth the 2-day old Curo soap bar had a severe “meltdown!” I usually run my shower water for a minute or so before entering the shower. I only had one opportunity to use the soap one evening. It doesn’t lather up significantly. No fragrance detected. And to top it off, VERY TEMPERAMENTAL. Or should I say TEMPERATURE-MENTAL.

I noticed I had an odor and thought it was the water in my apartment. After purchasing a home and a shower head with a filter I still did not feel clean. This soap is amazing!! Sadly, I can’t remember the last time I felt so clean!! You have a customer for life!!!!

A cleansing and deodorizing bar that is all natural and uses the best scientific evidence of its value. I love the way it feels on my skin. I love the deodorization and the scents of only natural ingredients. It does match my needs for a product that curtails the effects of aging. I love this product. You should try it and get the amazing benefits.

My 89 year old dad had started to develop that Nomenal 'old people smell' - he bathes and shaves daily so it isn't hygiene - it's the aging body unable to clear oxidants and combined with repeat medication which also reacts and gives off unpleasant smell.

No normal soap, regardless of price, worked - neither did deodorant gel - anything.

Read about this, and tried it - lathers beautifully, has a delicate aroma. And it works and works fantastically. After a good bath and scrub with this - within a few hours the smell in his room started dissipating, the next day after bathing - the smell was gone - and with daily or every other day use this eliminates everything. Worth every penny - lasts a long time too.

He uses another bar as a face hand and neck soap.

Combine this with the same brand and extract serum - apply that on the sweat producing bits of the body after bathing .
