Made with Japanese persimmon tannin to target nonenal — the oil-based odor compound a regular bar leaves behind.
Two full-size 4.41 oz (125 g) bars per box — 8.82 oz (250 g) in total — plus one white mesh soap saver pouch.
Persimmon tannin, green tea extract, yuzu extract, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, coconut oil and vitamin E. Free from sulfates, parabens and phthalates.
1. Wet & lather — place the bar in the mesh saver, wet it, and work up a thick foam.
2. Cleanse — massage gently over the body.
3. Rinse & dry — hang the mesh saver so the bar dries fully between uses.
Orders ship within 1–2 business days. US delivery typically takes 3–5 business days, free over $35. Unopened boxes can be returned within 30 days.
Most bars lift surface dirt and water-soluble sweat. Nonenal is neither — it is oily, so it clings to skin and to fabric. Japan's answer was kakishibu, fermented persimmon tannin. That is what Lurae is built on.
Built around the oil-based compound behind lingering odor — not just the sweat that rinses off on its own.
No sulfates. Hyaluronic acid, collagen and vitamin E are in there so using it every day doesn't dry you out.
One 4.41 oz bar lasts roughly a month. Two in every box, with the mesh saver that makes them last.
“I started noticing a stale smell on my shirts that washing wasn't shifting. I've been using this about a month now and that's stopped. The mesh bag makes far more lather than I expected.”
“Gym five mornings a week and normal body wash just wasn't keeping up. This does. Scent is clean rather than perfumed, which I prefer.”
“Bars are properly full size, not the little slivers I've had from other brands. Two of them plus the mesh bag for this price is good value.”
“My skin gets dry easily and most deodorising soaps leave me itchy. This one doesn't — no tightness afterwards at all.”
All three cover the smell. None of them remove what is causing it.
Antiperspirant works on underarm sweat. Nonenal forms across the body — back, chest, the nape of the neck — where deodorant never reaches.
Layering scent on top removes nothing. It masks for a few hours, then the same base note comes back through.
Hot water and a general bar lift the sweat that dissolves in water. The oily compound stays exactly where it was.
The polyphenol behind kakishibu, used in Japan for centuries. It is the reason this bar exists.
A familiar botanical antioxidant that brings a soft, clean freshness to the lather.
Bright Japanese citrus that lifts the scent and keeps the bar feeling crisp.
A well-known humectant that helps skin hold on to moisture through a daily wash.
Small-molecule collagen, so the bar leaves skin feeling smooth rather than tight.
Builds the rich, creamy foam that makes the bar pleasant to use every day.
A conditioning antioxidant that rounds out the formula for comfortable cleansing.

If an unopened box isn't for you, send it back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. And if anything arrives damaged, incomplete or simply wrong, we'll put it right whether the box has been opened or not.
We would rather not promise you a number. Odor builds through the day, so the fair test is a week of daily use on the areas that actually bother you.
Use the mesh saver from day one — it produces a far better lather than the bar alone.
The opposite is what it was designed for. There are no sulfates, and hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen and vitamin E are in the formula specifically so a daily bar doesn't leave skin tight.
If your skin is sensitive or reactive, patch test first.
Because it isn't one. Persimmon tannin, green tea and yuzu cost more than a plain cleansing base, and every box holds two full-size 4.41 oz bars plus a mesh saver rather than one small bar.
At roughly a month per bar, the six-bar box works out to about 36¢ a day.
Roughly a month per bar with daily use, so about two months from a single box. Letting it dry fully between showers makes the biggest difference.
Anywhere you'd use a body bar, with extra attention on underarms, feet and the back. It's a body soap, so avoid the face and any especially sensitive areas.
Unopened boxes can go back within 30 days for a full refund. For hygiene reasons we can't take opened bars — but if your order arrives damaged, incomplete or wrong, we'll fix it either way.
