Where to Buy Persimmon Soap in Italy: An Honest Guide

Looking for persimmon soap in Italy (in Italian, "sapone al cachi")? Amazon.it lists persimmon soaps from third-party sellers, Douglas.it showed none, and several other shops we could not check. This guide shows what we saw, what we could not see, and how to judge a persimmon soap before you buy. If you are curious about the background, read our article on nonenal and the "older person smell".

How we checked

On 8 November 2026 we searched for "sapone cachi" in a real browser on the shops' own search pages for Douglas.it and Amazon.it. For the other shops we ran web searches limited to each site and tried to open their search pages by address. We did not visit any stores, and ranges change. Those web searches mostly returned no pages from the shops themselves, so they prove very little. Where a shop showed a bot check or blocked us, we stopped there and did not try to get around it.

Pharmacies and chain stores

• Tigotà: could not check. The shop showed a bot check and we did not try to get around it.
• Acqua & Sapone: could not check. Its own search page refused our request (403), and the web search returned no pages from the site.
• Sephora.it: could not check the shop's own search, which was blocked (403). A web search limited to the site showed only an unrelated hand wash.
• Douglas.it: the shop's own search for "sapone cachi" in a real browser showed 0 results.
• Farmae: could not check. The search address we tried did not exist (404) and the web search returned no pages from the site.
• Redcare (redcare.it): could not check. The search address we tried did not exist (404) and the web search returned no pages from the site.

Marketplaces and online shops

Amazon.it: the shop's own search for "sapone cachi" in a real browser showed 34 results, including persimmon soaps from third-party sellers and from Mirai Clinical. We did not check their ingredients or sellers. Separately, searches also turned up a persimmon-themed soap, a Pelican Soap "Persimmon Shibu" bar, on the Italian version of the online shop Stylevana. We only saw it in search results and did not check its ingredients, so we make no claim about it.

Three short warnings when you shop online:

• Not every "persimmon soap" contains persimmon. Check the ingredient list for Diospyros kaki.
• Check who sells the soap and where it ships from.
• Be wary of big promises. Soap is a cosmetic, and a cosmetic cannot treat anything.
