The cause

It has a name: 2-nonenal.

After about 40, skin oil starts to produce a compound called 2-nonenal. It is linked to the change in body odour that comes with age.

It is made from oxidised skin oils, so it is oil based. Knowing its name changes the question from what is wrong with me to what is on my skin.

How it works

One compound, one bar, one habit.

No invented science. Three plain facts, and each one has a source further down the page.

01

The compound

After about 40, skin oil starts to produce a compound called 2-nonenal. It is linked to the change in body odour that comes with age.

02

Why it stays

2-nonenal is made from oxidised skin oils, so it is oil based. Dermatology researchers identified it in 2001.

03

The bar

Kakira is made with persimmon tannin, a natural compound that binds to odour molecules. Persimmon tannin has been used to neutralise odour for centuries.

Honest fit

Who it is for, and who it is not for.

It is for you if

  • You are past 40 and have noticed a change in your body odour, or someone close to you has.
  • You would rather get ahead of it than wait for someone to mention it.
  • You want one good bar, not a five step routine.

It is not for you if

  • You are under 40 and it is ordinary sweat. A good deodorant will do more for you than we will.
  • You want a fragrance. This is a soap, not a perfume.
  • You have a skin condition or a sudden change in body odour. Please talk to your doctor first.

How to use it

Once a day, in the shower.

Nothing to learn and nothing to add. It replaces the soap you use now.

  1. Wet the bar and work up a lather between your hands.
  2. Wash your neck, behind the ears, chest, back and underarms.
  3. Rinse and dry as usual. Repeat every day.

Let the bar dry between uses. A soap dish with drainage helps it last.

Our guarantee

If it does nothing for you, you get your money back.

Use it every day for up to 60 days. If you do not notice a difference, write to us and we refund the full price.
