Description

Pelican Family Soap Medicated Persimmon Tannin 80g is a quasi-drug deodorising body soap for all family members with body odour and perspiration odour — using Persimmon Tannin (Kaki Shibu), a traditional Japanese ingredient that binds and neutralises odour molecules at the skin surface, alongside Triclocarban antibacterial active to prevent bacterial breakdown of sweat that causes body odour.

  • Persimmon Tannin (Kaki Shibu) — traditional Japanese odour-neutralising ingredient; binds to amino acids in sweat that bacteria convert to malodorous compounds
  • Triclocarban (TCC) — medicated antibacterial that prevents bacterial decomposition of sweat by reducing skin surface bacterial count
  • Glycerin — moisturising support in the medicated soap base
  • Fragrance-free — appropriate for all family members including sensitive and children's skin
  • 80g — family bar soap size

How it works: Body odour is not caused by sweat itself — freshly produced sweat is odourless. Bacteria on skin metabolise amino acids and fatty acids in sweat into volatile compounds creating odour. Persimmon Tannin neutralises the amino acid precursors before bacteria can act on them; Triclocarban reduces the bacteria available to perform the conversion — addressing both sides of odour generation simultaneously.

Family Soap vs For Back Soap: Family Soap is for body odour and general body cleansing for all family members. For Back Soap is specifically medicated for back acne prevention with charcoal and Triclosan. For households where odour control is primary, Family Soap. For back acne as primary concern, For Back Soap.

Known in Japan as ペリカン石鹸 ファミリー石鹸 薬用柿渋 80g.

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.
