Our Story

At TrueTannin, we believe that everyone deserves to age with dignity, confidence, and comfort—especially when it comes to something as personal as your daily hygiene.

Our journey began with a quiet but powerful truth: many older adults struggle with a unique body odor called nonenal—a musty, unfamiliar scent that conventional soaps simply can’t wash away. Worse, many of those same soaps are filled with harsh chemicals that irritate aging, sensitive skin.

We knew there had to be a better way.

Our inspiration came from a centuries-old Japanese tradition. For generations, Japanese Geishas used the tannin-rich extract of the persimmon fruit not just for its natural cleansing powers, but to preserve fabrics, soothe the skin, and purify the body. This time-tested wisdom spoke directly to our mission—and when modern science confirmed that persimmon tannins could neutralize nonenal at the source, we knew we had found our answer.

That’s how TrueTannin was born.

We combined this powerful, natural ingredient with a gentle, pH-balanced formula made specifically for aging skin—free from sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. The result is a soap that truly works: effective at eliminating odor, deeply moisturizing, and safe for even the most sensitive skin.

But TrueTannin isn’t just about feeling clean. It’s about:

• 🌿 Feeling confident again, in moments big and small

• 🫶 Hugging without hesitation, knowing you smell fresh

• 🧘 Caring for your skin, not fighting with it

• 💬 Showing up socially, without worry or embarrassment

We understand how deeply personal these issues are—because we’ve lived them through our loved ones, and many of us are experiencing them ourselves.

Whether you're 65 or 95, your skin tells your story. Let TrueTannin help you tell it with grace.

Gentle. Honest. Rooted in tradition. Backed by science.
That’s the promise behind every bar of TrueTannin.
