2026 pressing
No restock. We press once a year — the next bars are the autumn 2027 harvest.
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 full-size 4.41 oz bars plus a mesh saver rather than one small bar.
Roughly a month per bar with daily use. Letting it dry fully between showers makes the biggest difference.
Anywhere you’d use a body bar, with extra attention on the neck, upper back and under the bra line. It’s a body soap, so avoid the face and any especially sensitive areas.
Then it costs you nothing. You have 30 days. Use it on the places deodorant never reached — behind the ears, the nape, the upper back. If that stale smell is still there at the end of the day, email us and we refund every cent.
You have smelled it on a pillowcase. Or on the collar of a blouse you only wore once. And you have stood close to someone and wondered whether they could smell it too.
It was never dirt. It’s an oil.
Your skin starts making it after 40.
As the oils on older skin break down, they leave behind a compound called nonenal. Researchers in Japan identified it in 2001, and only found it in people 40 and over.
Because it’s an oil, it clings.
To your skin, and to the collar of everything you wear. Water doesn’t take it off — the same way water doesn’t take grease off a pan.
Which is why nothing you tried worked.
Soap was only ever built for dirt and sweat. More showers, hotter water and extra laundry were never going to reach it. That was never you doing something wrong.
If you want it gone, something has to take the oil off. Covering it never has.
nonenal, the oil that carries the smell persimmon tannin
Lurae grips the oil and rinses it off you.
Tannin grips it.
The persimmon tannin in every Lurae bar binds to nonenal instead of sliding past it. That is the one job this bar exists to do — which is why it is built around tannin and not around scent.
The lather carries it out.
Once the oil is held, it leaves with the water — the way dish soap finally lifts the grease off that pan. Neck, ears, chest, upper back, in the shower you already take.
Nothing is left sitting on top.
A perfumed bar adds a second smell over the first one, which is why it fades by lunchtime and the original comes back. There is nothing here to fade. The oil is gone or it isn’t.

Real results from the first wash.
The second smell gone, and skin that feels soft instead of stripped.

Sixty seconds, in the shower you already take.
There is no routine to learn and nothing to remember afterwards. Lather the four places the smell actually comes from, rinse, and you are done.

Strong on the oil. Gentle enough for every day.
Persimmon tannin on its own is harsh. That is why the cheap persimmon bars leave skin tight and itchy after a week of using them.
So the bar is seven ingredients, not one. One ends the smell. The other six are what make it a bar you can use every day — on a neck and chest where the skin is already thin.

Questions
Before you order
No. Your deodorant handles sweat and it’s good at it. Lurae is aimed at the oil smell on your neck, ears and upper back. Two different jobs.
Wet the pouch, slip the soap inside, squeeze twice. Wash the nape, behind the ears, chest and upper back. Leave it thirty seconds, rinse. Same shower you already take.
Anywhere you’d use a body bar, with extra attention on the neck, upper back and under the bra line. It’s a body soap, so avoid the face and any especially sensitive areas.
Yes. It’s free from sulfates, parabens and phthalates, and hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin E and coconut oil are in the formula so a daily bar doesn’t strip thin skin.
If your skin reacts easily, patch test first — a small amount on a discreet area, rinse, and leave it a day.
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.

Yes. Nonenal isn’t a women’s problem, it just gets talked about less. Plenty of orders are a wife buying for a husband, or the other way round.
