Persimmon Body Lotion
Soap is on your skin for 60 seconds. This stays on all day. The musty smell that comes with age is nonenal, an oil your skin keeps making around the clock. That's why it is back a few hours after a shower. Tanniko is a light lotion with organic persimmon tannin and green tea. You smooth it onto the neck, chest and back once a day, so it keeps working long after the soap has rinsed away.
Do I need a special soap too?
No. Wash with whatever soap you like. Soap is rinsed off within a minute, and the smell comes from an oil your skin makes all day long. The lotion is the part that stays on.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Most people notice fresher pillowcases and collars within one to two weeks of using it every day on the hot spots. Not overnight, and not for everyone, which is why you get 30 days to decide.
How long does a bottle last?
About a month of daily use on the neck, chest, back and arms. Each bottle is 300 ml / 10 fl oz.
Is it greasy or heavily perfumed?
No. It is a light lotion, not a heavy cream, with only a faint clean scent. Give it a minute to sink in before you dress.
Can I get it for my husband or wife?
Yes. Most people first notice this smell on a partner's pillow, not on themselves. It looks like any nice body lotion, so it can simply sit by the sink, and one bottle can be shared.
4 things Tanniko doesfor you. Every day.
A soap works for the minute it is on your skin. A lotion works for all the hours in between.
Stays On After the Shower
With age, the smell comes from an oil your skin keeps making all day. Soap and water touch it for a minute and then rinse away. The organic persimmon tannin and green tea in this lotion stay on your skin, right where that oil forms.
Fresher Pillowcases & Collars
"Our bedding was getting musty. I washed it on the longest cycle, bleached it, tried everything." When less of it builds up on your skin, less of it ends up on your sheets, collars and the car headrest.
Moisture for Mature Skin
Dry, itchy skin is one of the top reasons people give up on odor soaps: "Like many 60+ women, I have dry skin. I have had to stop using it." This does the opposite. It puts moisture back every single time you use it.
Goes Where Deodorant Doesn't
"I used every deodorant brand invented and I still had a stink." Deodorant only covers your armpits. This smell sits behind the ears, on the back of the neck, the upper back and the chest, which is exactly where you smooth on Tanniko.
Why Washing Alone Can't Fix This
As we get older, the oils on our skin change. They oxidize into a compound called 2-nonenal, the source of that musty, greasy "aging" smell. Because it's oil-based, water and regular soap slide right over it, no matter how hard you scrub.
And even the best soap is only on your skin for about a minute. Then it goes down the drain, and your skin goes on making the same oil for the rest of the day. That is why the smell is back by lunchtime, and why it ends up on pillowcases and collars.
Think of sunscreen. Nobody washes with it and rinses it off. You leave it on, because the sun keeps shining. Tanniko works the same way: a light lotion with organic persimmon tannin and green tea that stays on the skin, where the oil forms.
Where People First Notice It
It rarely starts with a comment. It starts with a pillowcase, a sweater collar, a hug that ends a little early. The person it comes from is usually the last to know.
"Our bedding was getting musty. I washed it on the longest cycle, bleached it, tried everything."
"I could smell myself coming out of the shower. Every deodorant brand, and I still had a stink."
"I remember my great grandmother, mother and a couple of their cousins all the same odor and it was not good."
"Have not been told I smelled but I am taking no chances."
Quotes are things people wrote in public reviews and forums about this smell. They are not Tanniko customer reviews.
Try It NowMore than odor control.
Your skin gets looked after too.
Most odor soaps strip mature skin. Tanniko goes the other way: a light persimmon lotion that works on the smell while it puts moisture back.
It sinks in fast, has no heavy perfume, and is made for the dry, thinner skin that comes with age.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's in the bottle?
300 ml / 10 fl oz of light body lotion made with organic persimmon tannin and green tea, plus shea butter, aloe and hyaluronic acid. One bottle is about a month of daily use. The full ingredient list is printed on the bottle.
I can't smell anything on myself. How do I know?
Nobody can smell their own. The nose tunes out a smell it lives with every day. Check the things that hold it instead: a pillowcase after two nights, a shirt collar, the car headrest. If they smell musty again soon after a wash, that's the sign.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Patch test on your inner arm first. It is a body lotion, so keep it away from your eyes. If your skin reacts, stop using it and contact us for a refund.
Does it have a strong fragrance?
No. The scent is light and fades within minutes. You'll smell clean, not perfumed. If you want a fragrance that lasts all day, this isn't that.
What makes it different from persimmon soap?
Soap is on your skin for about a minute, then it is rinsed away. The oil behind the smell is made all day long. A lotion stays where you put it, so it keeps working between showers, and it moisturizes instead of drying your skin out.
When should I use it?
Once a day, after your shower, on dry skin. Smooth it behind the ears, on the back of the neck, the chest, the upper back and the arms. Those are the places the smell sits. A second time before bed is fine if you like.
Can I keep using my usual soap?
Yes. Use any soap you like, including a persimmon soap if you already have one. The lotion does its work after the shower.
