MIRAI Clinical Persimmon Soap Bar for Body Odor - Nonenal Solution - Japanese Persimmon and Green Tea Extract - For Men and Women - Gentle on All Skin Types - Natural Body Odor Soap

This stuff is amazing. I am in my 40’s now and heard of a thing called nonenal. I didn’t know this existed and it freaked me out. If you don’t know what nonenal is, it’s basically just “old person” smell. We all know that smell. Just think of your grandparents house when you first walk in after not being there in a while. Apparently, nonenal is oils that oxidize and can’t be removed by normal soap. At least that’s my understanding and since it doesn’t get broken down it transfers to clothing, furniture, etc. Anything our bodies come into contact with. Now, we all know that we are the last ones able to smell our own funk but everyone around us can smell it just fine. And what I read it says that nonenal starts in your 40’s. See why I was freaked out now? But I am also going through perimenopause and am paranoid that I smell different because of the hormonal shift. This soap is supposed to be able to break down the greases that cause “old person” smell and also help deodorize hormonal smell too. So I thought I would give it a try. They show you the areas of your body where the smells come from. One of which is behind the ears and back of the neck. I would have never guessed that those areas caused the smell. But I think it’s fair to say that we all know how behind the ears can get real funky if they aren’t washed regularly. Now get ready because I am going to get slightly gross for a minute. I rubbed my finger behind both my ears and smelled and yeah, it wasn’t great, even though I just washed that morning. So I gave the soap a shot and in particular focused on behind the ears. The result were pretty remarkable. I washed behind my ears on day one and then didn’t do it again for 3 days. Constantly smelling that area each day. The smell stayed gone for 2 days and by about the 3rd day it was starting to become slightly noticeable. That made me a believer. So I started using it in all the places the nonenal is at. I start by washing my entire body with regular soap and then at the end of my shower I use this soap in all the places they teach you that nonenal shows up. I have to say that I feel much more confident about how I smell after using it. No one wants to go through hormonal changes but we all have to. At least now we can be more comfortable in our skin while we go through it. I know it’s very expensive for a soap. But it is worth it. And if you only use it on the parts of the body that the nonenal smell comes from you won’t have to buy it again for a couple of months. Lastly, you need to be aware of the many knock offs that are out there. Be careful not to buy a soap that claims to do the same thing for a cheaper price. As far as I know, this is the only brand sold in the U.S. that actually has the ingredients in it that helps with the smell. So only buy this brand and even then be careful that you aren’t being sold a bootleg. It needs to come from Mirai. Even here on Amazon, you need to make sure you buy it from the Mirai store. It would really suck to pay this much for a soap that never worked. All that being said, I know I am not going to be without it, but that’s just me. Hope this long winded review helps.

I was amazed at how well this deodorized my body! I'm 67 and while I am not sure if I was excessively "old age" smelling I exercise on most days and get sweaty so wanted to try this soap. I have never smelled so odor free in my life. Even my deodorant stops smelling so strong after I apply it, it just takes odor away.It is a bit drying-I have psoriasis so I have to watch that- but used every couple of days it works out fine for me. As we age our skin gets thinner so the need for less soap is not a surprise anyway.The bar of soap fits nicely in my hand and makes it easy to use.

I ordered this soap to get rid of old people smell. It did get rid of the odor but the soap dissolves so fast. At 20.00 a bar that is going to be way too expensive for me. I did see you on Shark Tank last week.

I noticed a difference after just the first use. I am reordering and recommending to all my friends. I'll be interested to see how long the bar lasts with both of us using it. So far it seems like a glycerin type that doesn't "melt" quickly like a lot of other bar soaps. The fragrance is slight if any so as not to compete with perfumes and colognes. Discovered after watching Shark Tank and so glad to have watched that episode.

I take care of my elderly mother, and I was noticing that even out of the shower she was starting to have that old person BO. If you have ever smelled it, you know what I mean. I had no idea it was a chemical change on a person’s skin, and didn’t mean they hadn’t bathed. I was skeptical when I saw this, but after one use it did the job! My only issue is that they don’t make laundry detergent because some of her clothes still smell. I tried to add a little of the liquid soap to the laundry to see if it helped, but it didn’t. But, I am thrilled I can prevent her from being the stinky person when she goes out!

It is way too expensive for size. It doesn’t smell bad when you use it. I didn’t seem to have any dryness. I would not buy it again. I don’t think because of the price. She needs to get the price down is extremely high and will not last very long. Update. I have used it for a few days and it extremely drys out my skin. It maybe stop smell , can’t review on that as I don’t have smell but I think there are better or at least cheaper ones.

I’m very impressed with the elimination of older lady smell. Its a nice soap. It lathers great in my loofah. The feel is like a mans soap. Its not as smooth as a dove or a caress. But it solves the odor. Very pleased. Thank you

We just received it, It is changed. Is this new creamy soap as effective as the old one? We were very happy with the old one it worked on the smell.
