Everyone’s skin is different. Many people enjoy a fresh, clean feeling after washing and notice a fresher feel within the first few days of daily use.

For the best results, keep using it every day — there is nothing extra to apply or remember. KAKIORA is made with Japanese persimmon extract, which is traditionally used to help wash away the oily residues that ordinary soap can leave behind.

Each bar gives you roughly 2 weeks of daily washes. That is why our subscriptions are set to 2 bars every 4 weeks, 3 bars every 6 weeks and 6 bars every 8 weeks — so you are never caught without one.

How long it lasts does depend on storage and how generously you lather. For maximum life, keep it in a well-draining soap dish and let the bar dry out fully between uses.

Quite the opposite. Every bar pairs the Japanese persimmon extract with gentle coconut-derived cleansers, glycerin and skin-softening emollients for a mild, creamy lather.

The result is skin that feels soft, comfortable and cared-for after every wash — never tight, squeaky or stripped, even with daily head-to-toe use on mature skin.

Real persimmon extract costs more than a persimmon scent. KAKIORA is made with genuine Japanese kaki fruit extract, naturally rich in tannins, rather than relying on fragrance alone.

Some bargain “persimmon soaps” lean on persimmon fragrance instead. We are open about what is in ours: the key ingredients are listed on our website, and we are happy to send the full ingredient list before you order.

On top of that, KAKIORA has a gentle, soap-free base of coconut-derived cleansers, glycerin and vitamin E — so it targets stubborn odour while leaving skin softer and more comfortable.

Used daily, it works out at roughly C$1.25 to C$2.25 a day depending on the pack, or from about C$1 a day with a subscription — and every order is backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee.
