I used persimmon soap bars for years, but they always dried out my skin. I'm 63, and my skin just isn't what it used to be. I decided to give Novera a try, and I really like it so far! My skin feels softer, I feel fresh all day, and I don't miss those messy soap bars one bit.
Made with: Fermented persimmon (kakishibu), the tannin-rich ingredient used for generations in Japanese personal care.
Made for mature skin: Glycerin, shea butter and olive fruit oil help keep skin soft while it cleanses.
Fresh every pump: A sealed pump bottle, so the formula never sits wet in a dish between showers.
Once a day, work one pump into a lather behind the ears, the back of the neck, chest, underarms and back, then rinse.
Its creamy lather rinses clean and leaves mature skin feeling soft.
Fermented Kakishibu: Persimmon extract, traditionally used in Japan for personal care.
Shea Butter: Helps calm and soften mature skin.
Olive Fruit Oil: A nourishing oil that supports hydration.
Glycerin: A humectant that helps lock moisture in.

Menopause changed how I smell, simple as that. Night sweats and a stale smell on my pajamas no matter how often I showered. A friend sent me this bottle. Two weeks in, I finally feel like myself again 🧡

Didn’t think I had a smell. My wife said my side of the bed did. I shower every morning so I didn’t believe her. Two weeks with this wash and she stopped swapping my pillowcase every other day. Point taken 👍

I’m 69 and I’d started worrying about that old person smell I remember from visiting my aunt years ago. A few days into this body wash, my granddaughter curled up next to me and said, Grandma, you smell so good ❤️

I honestly couldn’t smell anything on myself. Then my sister leaned in at lunch and said I smelled like Mom’s old house. Ordered this that night. Three weeks later she asked me what I’d changed 😅
Comparison
Every shower, a bar picks up what you wash off: skin oils, dead skin, bacteria. The compound behind aging odor is an oil too. Then it sits wet in a dish until tomorrow, and you rub it all over your skin again. A pump never touches you. Every drop of Novera comes out fresh.
·Sealed in the bottle, untouched·Nothing. Every pump is fresh·Only you, one pump at a time·The same fresh gel down to the last pump·Persimmon targets it at the source·Glycerin, shea and olive oil keep it softAs skin matures, it starts producing more 2-nonenal, an oil-based compound behind the stubborn aging odor that clings to skin, clothes and pillows.
The catch: you can’t smell it on yourself. Other people can.
Perfume only covers aging odor for a moment, and regular soap washes right over it, like water over a greasy pan.
Novera follows the Japanese persimmon tradition to target 2-nonenal at the source, so you can enjoy every hug without second-guessing yourself.
The study people point to on this subject is Haze et al., 2001, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. It was run by a research team at Shiseido, in Yokohama, Japan.
What they did. They collected body odour samples from volunteers aged 26 to 75 and analysed which compounds were present in each age group.
What they found. A compound called 2-nonenal showed up in the samples from subjects aged 40 and over, and was not detected in the younger group. They linked its formation to the oxidation of omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids on the surface of the skin.
Why it matters in a shower. 2-nonenal is oil-based. Water on its own does not lift an oil, which is the part most people recognise from experience: washing more often, or harder, changes less than it should.
What the study does not say, and neither do we:
And it is not the only explanation. A change in body scent can come from bacteria living on the skin, from diet, from medication, from what your clothes are made of and how they are washed. A separate 1981 study by Leyden and colleagues looked specifically at the bacteria behind underarm odour, which is a different mechanism altogether. One compound is not the whole story.
Fermented Kakishibu
Fermented Japanese persimmon, pressed and aged for months, the way it has been done for centuries. It targets nonenal at the source. Targets nonenal at the source.
Olive Fruit Oil
A nourishing oil that brings deep hydration and keeps mature skin supple, even after a hot shower. Deep hydration for mature skin.
Shea Butter
A rich, creamy butter that calms mature skin and leaves it feeling soft after every wash. Calms mature skin.
Glycerin
A gentle humectant that locks moisture in, so your skin stays soft instead of tight. Locks moisture in.
Once a day, work one pump of Novera into a lather behind the ears, the back of the neck, chest, underarms and back.
Its creamy lather rinses clean and leaves mature skin soft, from your morning shower to every close moment after.

A bar keeps what you wash off: skin oils, residue and bacteria. It sits wet in a dish between showers, and everyone in the house rubs the same one on their skin. Every pump of Novera comes out fresh and untouched, and the bottle never goes soft or slimy.
Quiet and clean, with a faint natural note from the persimmon. It rinses away and leaves your skin smelling like nothing, so it will never fight your perfume or cologne. If you have been burned by soaps that smell worse than the problem, this is the opposite of that.
Each bottle holds 300 ml. One pump is enough for a full shower, so a bottle lasts about 6 to 8 weeks of daily use. Most customers pick the multi-bottle deal so they never run out mid-month.
Yes. Nonenal does not care who you are. Men over 40 produce it just like women do, often more, and it settles into collars and pillowcases. Plenty of our bottles get quietly placed in a husband’s shower. He will not ask questions. It is just soap.
Novera is free from parabens and synthetic dyes, and the glycerin base is gentle enough for daily use on face and body. As with any new product, if you have very reactive skin, test it on your forearm for a day or two first.
Once a day in the shower, on the places nonenal builds up the most: behind the ears, the back of the neck, chest, underarms, and the back and shoulders. If you only change one thing about how you wash, wash behind the ears and the back of the neck.
Then it was free. Use it for up to 90 days. If you do not smell a clear difference, email us and we refund every cent, so the bottle cost you nothing. No forms, no return shipping, no hard feelings.
Most people smell it on the very first wash. Skin is the fastest: the greasy film that carries nonenal comes off straight away, which is why many reviews say two washes and it was gone. Fabrics take longer: collars, pillowcases and towels have been absorbing it for months, so give them about two weeks to catch up. If nothing has changed after a few weeks, that is exactly what the 90 days are for.
