Description

Pelican Family Soap Medicated Persimmon Tannin is a quasi-drug (医薬部外品) body soap bar from Japan's Pelican, formulated to tackle body odour and perspiration odour at the source using Japanese persimmon tannin — a traditional deodorising ingredient with no Western equivalent. Available at Matsumotokiyoshi and drugstores across Japan, it uses two medicated active ingredients for clinically grounded odour prevention.

Two active ingredients — triclocarban (TCC) (antibacterial) and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (anti-inflammatory) — address the bacterial activity that drives body odour. Persimmon tannin (kaki shibu) binds and neutralises odour molecules on the skin surface, while oyster tannin and zinc sulfate provide complementary deodorising support. Trehalose and bentonite keep skin feeling clean and soft throughout the wash.

Citrus herb fragrance. 80g bar. Suitable for the full body; particularly effective for underarm, feet and areas prone to odour. Medicated classification confirms active ingredient efficacy.

Key Ingredients
  • Persimmon Tannin (Kaki Shibu) — traditional Japanese ingredient that binds and neutralises odour molecules on the skin surface
  • Triclocarban (TCC) — medicated antibacterial active that prevents the bacterial action causing body odour
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate — anti-inflammatory active ingredient that calms irritation during cleansing
  • Oyster Tannin — complementary deodorising tannin that supports persimmon tannin's odour-control effect
  • Zinc Sulfate — astringent mineral that helps control sweat and reduce pore-level odour

HOW TO USE
  1. Wet the bar and lather well in your hands or with a body towel.
  2. Apply lather to the full body, focusing on underarms, feet and odour-prone areas.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
  4. Use daily for sustained deodorising effect.
  5. Pro tip: for underarms and feet, let the lather sit for 30 seconds before rinsing to maximise the antibacterial effect.

FAQ

What makes persimmon tannin effective against body odour?

Persimmon tannin (kaki shibu) is a polyphenol compound that bonds directly to odour molecules — particularly those from perspiration and bacteria — neutralising them rather than simply masking with fragrance. It has been used in Japanese skincare for centuries.

Is this different from a regular deodorant soap?

Yes. The quasi-drug classification means the antibacterial actives are held to a higher efficacy standard than cosmetic claims. The persimmon tannin ingredient is also unique to this product and rarely found in Western deodorant soaps.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The soap is formulated for all skin types. Those with very reactive skin should patch test first, as the medicated actives may cause irritation in rare cases.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. Sourced from Matsumotokiyoshi and Japanese drugstores by TokyoShelf — the Japan-domestic medicated formula, not an export version.
